Functional Medicine + Conventional Care

Functional Medicine + Conventional Care

Introduction: Why NYC Needs a New Kind of Doctor

Modern healthcare often leaves patients stuck between specialists and fragmented care. At Patients Medical, we bring the best of both worlds—functional and conventional medicine—together under one roof.
Our NYC-based integrative doctors don’t just manage symptoms. We uncover and treat the root causes using advanced diagnostics, natural therapies, and evidence-based medicine. Whether you’re dealing with chronic fatigue, autoimmune issues, hormonal imbalance, or unexplained symptoms, our experts build a personalized path to healing.

What Is Integrative Medicine?

Integrative medicine blends conventional Western treatments with holistic therapies to support the body’s natural healing ability. At Patients Medical, our physicians are trained in:

  • Internal medicine
  • Functional and lifestyle medicine
  • Nutrition and detoxification
  • Hormonal and metabolic optimization
  • Herbal medicine and supplementation
  • Mind-body therapies

We collaborate with each patient to design a unique care plan that works for your biology, not just your diagnosis.
