At Prima Medicine, we believe in treating the whole person, not just isolated symptoms. As part of our concierge services, functional medicine allows us to deliver highly specialized, proactive, and preventative care.
Our functional medicine physicians – Dr. Chethana Rao and Dr. Mandana Shafai – are board-certified in Internal Medicine, with additional training in lifestyle and concierge medicine. With their extensive experience in chronic disease management and whole-body health, they work to identify the root cause of illness and promote lasting wellness.
What Is Functional Medicine?
Functional medicine is a patient-centered, science-based practice. It looks at the functions of all body parts and how they are interconnected, with an aim to restore balance between them.
Rather than viewing a diagnosis or disease as an isolated entity, functional medicine tries to investigate the underlying cause, such as inflammation, hormonal fluctuations, or lifestyle choices. This method empowers patients to take a more proactive approach to their well-being.
