What Our Community Has to Say

Having been in the medical field coming up on 3 decades, I unfortunately found myself on the other side of the fence. After almost 2 years of being sick, going from one specialist to another, and no one could tell me why. My health continued to decline, until I came to see Dr. Hartman. He has this gift, an amazing ability to put all the pieces together and connect all the dots. I am grateful that he has chosen to share his gift in such a way that others can benefit from it. Not only did he figure out what was wrong, but is treating it and helping to restore me back as much as possible to where i was before I got sick. Once you seek this level of care, you will never look back. Thank you so much Dr. Hartman, I am forever grateful to you and your wonderful staff!

I'm 67 years old and have never experienced this level of comprehensive, professional, and reliable medical service anywhere in the Richmond area or any other place I've ever lived for that matter. The environment is friendly, warm, and relaxing. The medical staff is incredibly knowledgeable, personable, and talented. It's well worth the investment in yourself.

I went today for my first appointment. The practice is better than any that I have experienced and Jodi Caddell is the perfect addition! Jodi spends the time needed with her patients and more importantly, Jodi Caddell is kind and compassionate, something that you rarely find today. I am excited to see how my health improves now that I am going to Richmond Functional and Integrative!

Dr. Jenski and his staff are incredible. The care I have received has given me back my quality of life! i feel incredibly fortunate to have this exceptional level of practitioner right here in RVA. I had a high level of constant pain and I am at zero consistently. I would travel across the country for the care I’m receiving, and I highly recommend this practice.

Richmond IFM is a great resource for anyone who wishes to change bad lifestyle choices. A range of tests is done to determine your current health which leads to a plan for improvement! The staff takes time to greet and find out how they can help? Dr. Jenski, my Doctor, is fantastic in the way he delves into all possibilities of causes and treatments. I'm very happy with RIFM and their friendly staff.

Excellent care. SO refreshing and meaningful to me. Over 10 years of providers minimized/ignored my symptoms, and/or just wanted to give me a "band-aid" for symptoms instead of trying to find the root cause. THANK YOU to the WHOLE team - front desk, phlebotomist, nurses, to my Dr. I finally have hope that I will be able to participate in my life.

Dr. Jenski listens well, spending about 1.5hr the first appointment thoroughly discussing what I was experiencing health-wise and providing guidance and a plan. The 1hr follow-up appointment was an in-depth charted look at lab results, with him explaining findings in a patient and easy-to-understand way. I was given a plan to follow, a binder full of information, and next steps. It’s also worth noting that he is respectful of my plant-based diet and provides helpful suggestions and alternatives accordingly. His holistic approach to getting to the root cause(s) of concerns and improving health is greatly appreciated. Everyone on the team has been kind and helpful. I’m looking forward to continuing this healing journey at RIFM, and I’m grateful for Dr. Jenski and the team’s support.

Wonderful practice. Dr. Jenski listens to his patients and takes a truly holistic approach to wellness and medicine. He's the only doctor that has had any significant impact on my chronic conditions. I can't recommend him enough!

Dr. Hartman has improved my health tremendously. I can't thank him enough for all of his excellent guidance, his open mindedness and his leading edge approaches. I experience him to be an extremely bright, caring and devoted physician. Thank you Dr. Hartman! I'm back again to affirm my previous review a year ago of Dr. Hartman and his entire staff. Starting with the receptionist at the front desk, she made me and my wife feel welcomed and cared for. It's so nice to walk in the door and be greeted by such warmth and joy. The medical assistant who did my initial check in and vitals was also very warm, kind and professional. It's always great to have an appointment with Dr. Hartman. He is clearly dedicated to helping his patients achieve optimum health. I have fun seeing him as he can look at my health conditions from different angles, and he discovers and uses approaches that have never been considered by my other doctors. He has helped me tremendously. He also has a great personality and bedside manner. Thank you to all of the staff at RIFM for your warmth and healing environment! (The office is beautiful too:)
