What is functional medicine?
A functional approach to health aims to uncover and understand the root causes of a disease. Treatment protocols are also designed to address root cause with a more natural, organic approach whenever possible.
Do you prescribe medications?
Yes, Dr. Carson Shearer is a board-certified Internal Medicine physician and prescribes medications as necessary. Prescriptions are managed under our Functional Medicine Membership.
Dr. Steffany Shearer is also a board-certified physician and prescribes conventional medications as necessary. Dermatologic scripts may be prescribed outside of our General Derm Membership and Aesthetic membership for a $50 fee, or complimentary under membership.
Do you accept insurance?
Our practice is insurance-free, allowing us to focus on you and your health instead of your insurance company. This enables us to maximize our ability to manage your healthcare more efficiently, transparently, and seamlessly. In addition, TFM uses innovative and preventative strategies which are generally not covered by insurance.
Do you provide superbills?
TFM can provide a copy of your visit summary (including billable codes) upon request, and copies of your itemized receipts are made available within your patient portal. We do not provide superbills or insurance-specific documents.
