ACCEPTING PATIENTS IN ALL STATES FOR FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE

Welcome to Dawson Integrative & Functional Medicine, LLC (formerly known as Dawson Integrative Medical Center, LLC).  We often get asked, "What do you do here and what is Integrative Functional Medicine?" Let me answer some simple questions.

We are a Primary Care Provider with a Twist. Functional Medicine focuses on treating the root cause of diseases and symptoms. We listen to you and partner with you in YOUR healthcare. We perform testing that is a bit more in depth and more comprehensive than you might have done at your normal PCP office; which gets you the answers you need. 

Integrative Medicine means the combination of natural, alternative and traditional medicine modalities of treatment (a little bit of this and a little bit of that). Functional Medicine means finding the root cause or underlying factors of issues, looking at the entire body as a whole (aka holistic), asking the "why" questions and offering education, prevention and wellness.   The body has an incredible way to self-regulate and heal when given the right tools, knowledge, and treatment plan. Treatment plans include everything from lifestyle recommendations, acupuncture, supplements, herbal medicine, wellness & vitamin injections.....to prescription medicine, if indicated. Our specialty areas are internal medicine relating to the reversal of chronic diseases, pain management, hormone health, thyroid management, weight loss, autoimmune, immune deficiencies, gut health, mental health  and comprehensive  wellness visits. 

A diagnosis can be the result of more than one cause. For example, depression can be caused by many different factors, including inflammation. Likewise, a cause such as inflammation may lead to a number of different diagnoses, including depression. The precise manifestation of each cause depends on the individual’s genes, environment, and lifestyle, and only treatments that address the right cause will have lasting benefit beyond symptom suppression. 

Rebuild your health from the inside out. We offer a doctor-led, holistic approach to medicine proven to treat the root cause of your health issues. 

We look at genetic and lifestyle factors to find the best way to treat the root cause of your symptoms. From nutrition, exercise, and stress management to herbal medicine, supplements, and even prescription medications....we do it all.  We offer in-depth, comprehensive laboratory testing, scientific analysis, and diagnosis to help identify the root cause and develop a customized treatment plan. 

A personalized approach to medicine. 

We see patients with a variety of health concerns. Many of them have tried traditional medical treatments in the past only to be left frustrated, feeling unheard, and continuing to struggle with painful conditions and just not getting answers.
