LEVERAGE FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE TO

Take Control of Your Health

Don’t waste another second suffering alone, or second-guessing your next steps.

You were made for health.

It’s time to start a new chapter of your life with renewed hoped and restored health.

My own journey with Functional Medicine actually started with our first daughter, who we took in as a foster child, then adopted.

She has cerebral palsy and countless dietary issues.
We went to specialist after specialist, and even as a physician I felt let down and confused.

My daughter’s health struggles forced me to confront an uncomfortable realization:

Our current health care system doesn’t have all the answers.

My wife, a brilliant–and very stubborn–occupational therapist refused to give up hope.

She ultimately pointed me towards functional medicine.

Our daughter and two other children thrived.
After years in family practice, I felt called to make a dramatic shift.

I had to do something, for my own family’s health and for anyone who has suffered unnecessarily from a system that fails to support whole-person health.

The human body is infinitely complex. Functional medicine caters to this complexity.

We listen, to your whole health story, then help you apply data-driven solutions to start healing.

That means seeing you as the individual, looking at your home and your environment, your diet, your daily habits, and your health history. Then, we help you identify leverage points in key areas to restore health and wellness. The root of the word doctor is from the Latin word docere, meaning “to teach”.

We’re doctors and medical science scholars (okay, total nerds), who are here to teach you solutions, not just treat symptoms. So you can harness your body’s remarkable power to heal and start living the vibrant life you deserve.

We’re passionate about helping you heal with an integrative approach to conventional and alternative medicine.

RIFM has provided quality care for my complex conditions (POTS, MCAS, hyper mobility) and I feel extremely lucky to be a patient of theirs.  I have been dismissed by many doctors who thought my symptoms were just anxiety.  After many years and seeing many doctors I was finally diagnosed with POTS.  I thought the hard part was over, but I was wrong.  Finding a doctor who wants to treat POTS is even harder.  Dr. Hartman doesn't shy away from hard.  I've seen Dr. Hartman for many years and he is one of the smartest doctors I've ever come across.  He listens, understands, and partners with you to come up with solutions to help manage my conditions.  He has run tests that most doctors don't that have uncovered causes of some of my symptoms.  He is constantly learning new information, thinks outside the box, and shares this knowledge with his patients.  Not only have I had such positive experiences with Dr. Hartman, but I have had positive experiences with both of his nurse practitioners Jodi Caddell and Veronica Porterfield.  Recently, Ms. Porterfield saw me for an illness and possible tick bite infection and she spent so much time with me and followed up with me when I was having issues and questions, even calling me on her personal time on a Sunday night.  Never have I felt more cared for.  I have not seen Dr. Jenski but know people who do see him and have just as amazing things to say about him.  RIFM is filled with providers who truly care about you and want to help you find solutions to feel your best.  Don't hesitate to join this practice - you won't regret it!

Veronica was great as always and wicked smart and such a wonderful bedside manner. A great asset to Richmond Integrative and Functional Medicine. Angela was also great and everyone from front to back was very nice!

So grateful for this place and for how my family's life is being changed through their care! I've never had someone (with the exception of a midwife during pregnancy) take the time to really hear about all my concerns and see how they are linked together.

I love working on my health with Dr Jenski and his team. He really listens and takes my concerns seriously. After many many years of having my symptoms either dismissed or not finding anything wrong with me, Dr Jenski knew almost immediately what the problem was…mold. Bloodwork confirmed it. Now that my home is finally remediated, I’m on my way to great health!

I cannot say enough great things about RIFM!! I have been working with Dr. Jenski for over three years and he has helped me in multiple ways. He found answers to my baffling symptoms through his remarkable knowledge and rounds of lab work. While a slow process to healing, I'm getting there. No other doctors in Richmond were able to figure out the root causes of my metabolic issues!! I highly recommend RIFM!!!

When my other doctors said, "I can't help you, find another doctor," I found Dr. Hartman.  He has helped me go from nearly bed ridden to fully functional in a year, with a plan to get even better.  He listens carefully, synthesizes all the info, does extensive testing, and based on test results and diverse symptoms, develops a plan for eating, lifestyle, supplements and minimal pharmaceuticals that has gradually helped me get my life back.  He is thoughtful, kind, smart, responsive to inquiries, and actually, sort of fun.  He is an amazing doctor, I couldn't recommend him and his staff more highly.
