Functional
Telemedicine
Maximize Your Healthcare Journey From Anywhere
At Wellness First, we believe in the principles of functional (systems-based, root-cause) medicine. We also believe that anyone should have access to this type of treatment, no matter where they are physically located. Our Functional Telemedicine service allows us to serve patients throughout Florida and California.
Patients who become part of our Functional Telemedicine practice area are those who want to focus specifically on Wellness First’ functional medicine resources and expertise. They retain the relationship with their primary care physician and any other specialists.

Patients seeking longer, more comprehensive visits, functional testing beyond conventional medicine, and an integrative approach that focuses on nutrition, supplementation, and lifestyle changes can also benefit from our Functional Telemedicine services.
How Does It Work?
- Prospective patients should contact Wellness First at (561) 491-4666 to speak with a Patient Care Team Member who will provide information about our Functional Telemedicine Practice and learn a little about you and your healthcare goals.
- If you are interested in pursuing the functional medicine journey, you will be scheduled for a complimentary, fifteen-minute Telemedicine visit with one of our providers.

- From there, your provider will order a series of functional tests pertinent to your personal needs and goals. Many of these tests can be sent to your home for collection. If blood work is needed, we can provide options for getting them drawn at home or at a Quest near you.
- You and your provider will then schedule a follow-up appointment to review the test results and discuss your comprehensive, integrative treatment plan in more depth.
- Follow-up visits can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute blocks.
