Thyroid Replacement
Customized thyroid hormone replacement addresses hypothyroidism through comprehensive testing and bioidentical hormone prescriptions. We evaluate TSH, free T3/T4, and antibodies to create tailored treatment plans combining medication, nutrition, and lifestyle changes. Patients receive ongoing monitoring to optimize hormone levels and alleviate symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, and depression.
IV Therapy
IV vitamin and mineral infusions deliver targeted nutrients directly into the bloodstream for rapid absorption. Our Get Up & Go, Brainstorm, and Immunity blends address energy deficits, cognitive fog, and immune support. Treatments are customized based on individual health goals and may include amino acids, antioxidants, and electrolytes to enhance cellular function and recovery.
Mold Toxicity Treatment
Specialized protocols address mold-related illness through urine mycotoxin testing, binders, and antifungal therapies. We combine genetic analysis, visual contrast sensitivity testing, and detoxification support to reduce systemic inflammation. Treatment plans incorporate vagal nerve stimulation and gut microbiome restoration to mitigate symptoms like brain fog, fatigue, and immune dysfunction.
Hormone Replacement Therapy
Bioidentical hormone replacement addresses age-related declines in estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. Saliva and blood spot testing guide personalized BHRT regimens to alleviate menopausal symptoms, low libido, and metabolic imbalances. Patients receive ongoing monitoring to balance hormones while reducing risks for osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, and cognitive decline.
Cardiovascular Screening
Advanced cardiovascular assessments detect early atherosclerosis through CIMT scans, DNA analysis, and inflammatory markers. Our Bale Doneen Method-certified providers create prevention plans combining lipid optimization, exercise protocols, and IV therapy. Treatment focuses on reversing plaque buildup and reducing stroke/heart attack risks through personalized nutrition and metabolic support.

Questions
What makes functional medicine different from conventional care?
Functional medicine focuses on identifying root causes of illness through comprehensive testing and personalized treatment plans, rather than just managing symptoms with medications.
Do you accept insurance for integrative medicine services?
While we do not directly bill insurance, we provide documentation for potential out-of-network reimbursement. Some lab tests may be partially covered by insurance.
How are thyroid replacement therapies customized?
We use advanced thyroid panels (TSH, free T3/T4, antibodies) and symptom assessments to create individualized hormone replacement plans using bioidentical or desiccated thyroid medications.
What cardiovascular screening methods do you use?
Our screening includes CIMT/FIMT scans, coronary artery calcium scoring, DNA analysis, and inflammatory marker testing to detect early atherosclerosis risk factors.
Can IV therapy help with chronic fatigue?
Yes, our IV treatments deliver high-dose nutrients directly into the bloodstream to improve cellular energy production and alleviate fatigue symptoms.
How do you treat mold toxicity without insurance coverage?
We offer cost-effective treatment protocols using binders, antifungals, and detoxification support while prioritizing essential testing like urine mycotoxin analysis.

Report
I just left my first visit with Dr. Roberts for a well woman's exam. I was so impressed with him I couldn't write a review fast enough. My gyno moved out of the area last year and so I've needed to find one for a few months now but fear held me back. I wish I hadn't waited so long now! I highly recommend this doctor. He is very thorough, sensitive, and GENTLE. Very knowledgeable too. And all of his staff was wonderful to me too! Thanks Dr. Roberts!

Problem - night time incontinence, and some day time accidents. I am not all the way there yet, but I am very pleased with the progress that I have made in the last few months with pelvic floor therapy (PFT), and especially in this last month with my at home device!!! Hoping soon to have NO problem with either!!
