Frequently asked questions.
What makes this different from my primary care physician?
Our approach begins with listening. We take the time to understand your complete health story, conducting thorough assessments that conventional medicine often overlooks. By identifying the unique factors affecting your health, we create personalized treatment plans that address root causes rather than masking symptoms.
Working with Dr. Ward means having a dedicated partner in your health journey—someone who combines advanced medical knowledge with compassionate care to help you achieve optimal wellness.
What is functional medicine?
Functional medicine is a patient-centered, science-based approach that looks at the body as an interconnected system. It focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of health issues rather than simply managing symptoms.
