Do you offer single lab tests or a-la-carte testing?

We do not offer a-la-carte testing since this goes against the paradigm of functional health. If we are going to address the root cause of your health issues, we will need to take a more comprehensive approach. We only work with clients on a case management basis in one of our programs.

Dr. Thompson works with a team of experts to help you accomplish your health goals.   These may include health coach, nutritionist, lifestyle/success coach and meditation coaches.

Do I still need a primary care physician?
