Concierge Medicine
Even with insurance, the healthcare system can be difficult to navigate and leaves many feeling stranded, especially when dealing with complex chronic illness. Our Concierge Advocacy and Care Memberships provide ongoing access to personalized health and medical guidance, coordination of care, and health advocacy - so you never have to navigate your health journey alone.
Functional Hormone Optimization
Our Functional Hormone Optimization program uses a combination of root-cause evaluation and comprehensive lab testing to identify potential imbalances driving your symptoms. Personalized treatment plans are then created to restore balance, improve energy, metabolism, sexual vitality, mood, and overall health.
Mold/Lyme Illness
Our environmental illness specialization focuses on identifying hidden environmental root causes such as toxic mold exposure and tick-borne infections. Our approach involves supporting natural detoxification, immune, and nervous system balance through advanced testing and personalized, integrative care. Led by Sara Hernandez, PA-C - a certified mold literate and ILADS trained provider - our approach targets the true drivers of complex, chronic disease rather than just symptoms alone.

We strive for true healing and wellness optimization through patient education, lifestyle and behavior change, therapeutic, nutrition, intentional movement, sleep and nervous system restoration.

Reviews
I had been feeling unhealthy for so long - after referrals to several specialists, everyone told me there was 'nothing wrong with me.' But I knew something was not right, and I just needed someone to listen to me and look into the areas I felt for sure were off balance. Sara helped guide me on which tests would be most beneficial to getting to the bottom of my symptoms, and it wasn't even the end of our 3 months that I was already feeling such a difference in my energy, mental health, and motivation...it was like a weight had been lifted off of me! I only wish other providers would listen and work with their patients the same way.
I did the six month membership and my health has done a complete 180. In addition, I have gained so much knowledge about my body, I feel confident to proceed forward on my own and confident that if I have a setback I can reach out to Sara to help me get back on track!
I am a believer! Sara helped me figure out the root cause of my inability to lose weight, and after working on my gut and detoxifying my metabolism pathways, I am down 15 pounds and feel better than I did in my 20's! I am so thankful I finally decided I was worth investing in my health and wellness!
