People in Fort Worth usually find me after typing some version of "best functional medicine doctor near me." I can't tell you who is best for you. I can tell you exactly how I work, so you can compare me honestly against anyone else on your list.

Five questions worth asking any practitioner

Whoever you choose, ask these before you pay for a program:

What testing do you order, and why that test for me? I use specific labs such as the GI-MAP stool test and the DUTCH dried-urine hormone panel, and only when your history points to them.
Who reads the results with me? I review every report with you myself, line by line, over video.
How many supplements will I be on? My plans usually start with a short priority list, not a bag of twenty bottles.
Will you work with my other doctors? Yes. Keep your primary care physician and specialists. Functional medicine sits alongside them.
What does it cost before I commit? The first call is free and lasts 15 minutes, so you can ask about fees directly.

How Fort Worth patients work with me

Fort Worth sits roughly 39 miles (straight line) northwest of Waxahachie, so most of my Tarrant County patients choose telehealth. Visits happen by video. Test kits such as GI-MAP and DUTCH ship to your home, and you mail them back to the lab. We meet again when results come in.

If you'd rather sit across the desk from me at least once, the drive to our Waxahachie clinic usually runs down I-35W and US-287 (roughly 50 minutes to an hour, depending on traffic). The clinic is at 304 N College St, open Monday to Friday, 9 to 4.

Where people usually start

If your main concern is...	We often begin with...
Bloating, irregularity, food reactions	GI-MAP stool testing and a gut-support plan
Cycles, energy dips, sleep, libido	DUTCH hormone testing and hormone balance work
Symptoms that started after a tick bite or have lingered for years	A Lyme-focused history and lab review
Suspected parasites	Testing first, then our structured parasite cleanse
Recovery, body composition, aging goals	Peptides, available nationwide through this link

What I won't promise

I won't promise a timeline or an outcome. Bodies differ. What I can offer is a clear plan, real data from your labs, and someone who answers your questions.

One patient's take on the first visit

"She asked an insane number of questions (as all docs should) and after our appointment I was sure I was making the right decision for a second opinion." Charlotte, from our patient success stories

Fort Worth FAQs

Do you have a Fort Worth office? No. My only in-person clinic is in Waxahachie. Fort Worth patients work with me by telehealth, or make the drive when they want an in-person visit.

Can I do every step without leaving Fort Worth? For stool and urine-based tests, yes, because kits come to your door. If your plan needs blood work, draws are generally done at a LabCorp location near you.

How is this different from my annual physical? A physical screens for disease. My visits look at function: how your gut, hormones and stress response are working together, using functional ranges as well as standard ones.

How long is a typical program? Most people work with me over several months, with check-ins along the way. We discuss the length on your strategy call.

What should I bring to the first call? Your top three concerns and any recent lab results. That is enough to start.
