That’s the big one in my experience. Functional medicine doctors are some miracle workers, but only if you can afford hundreds of dollars per visit / thousands of dollars in lab tests that insurance will never pay for.
- M1ch431 3y agoI recommend you check out the Direct Primary Care model and share your thoughts. This model is not to be confused with Concierge Medicine, which largely suffers from the same problems you identified about Functional Medicine doctors. I just commented about DPC, you can find my thoughts about it at the top of my profile. Overall, I think this is a great, affordable first step for redefining primary care - one that makes sense for doctors and patients, but is not a replacement for specialties like Functional Medicine.
