Thank you, Richmond.

For the fourth year in a row, Richmond Magazine readers voted us the best functional medicine practice in the city. The survey files us under alternative medicine, which is the closest category they have. We would call it complete medicine.

The survey is decided by readers, not by a panel. That is what makes it land differently. Every one of those votes came from someone who chose to spend part of their day saying so.

“Everyone on our team came to this work the same way… someone they loved hitting a wall with traditional medicine: A child with eczema no one could explain, a spouse with celiac, an “uncurable” daughter, their own health falling apart. We learned firsthand that “we don’t know” isn’t the same as “there’s nothing there.” That’s the medicine we wanted to practice, so we built it” — Aaron Hartman, MD
