If you’ve ever left a doctor’s appointment feeling rushed, unheard, or like you were just handed a prescription without real answers, you’re not alone.

I started AshCare Functional Medicine because I believe healthcare should be personal, empowering, and focused on finding real solutions, not just managing symptoms. After years of working in traditional medical settings, I saw the same pattern over and over again: people came in with complex concerns and left with a 10-minute visit and a one-size-fits-all plan.

That wasn’t enough for me, and it’s definitely not enough for my patients.

At AshCare, we do things differently. Whether you’re dealing with fatigue, weight gain, hormone imbalance, gut issues, or just want to feel like yourself again, my team and I are here to dig deeper and treat the root cause.

Let me walk you through the three key ways our approach sets us apart.

1. We Give You Time—Because You Deserve It

Most traditional doctor’s visits last about 10–15 minutes. By the time you’ve gone over your concerns, there’s barely enough time left for questions, let alone for a meaningful conversation about your lifestyle, lab results, or long-term health goals.

At AshCare, our appointments are longer on purpose. Your first visit is 60 to 90 minutes, and follow-ups are usually 30 to 45. Why? Because your health story is complex, and it takes time to unpack.

We ask about your sleep, your stress levels, your diet, your digestion, your family history, your environment, and even your mindset. We review your labs together, in plain English. You won’t be rushed, interrupted, or made to feel like a checklist.

Instead, you’ll feel heard, respected, and involved in every decision we make. That’s how healing begins, not with a prescription pad, but with a real conversation.

2. We Blend Modern Medicine with Herbal & Holistic Tools

Yes, I’m a licensed physician. I’ve prescribed antibiotics, written referrals, and interpreted diagnostic scans. I value everything that modern medicine has to offer.

But I’m also trained in functional medicine and herbal therapies, and I believe that nature often gives us powerful tools that work with the body, not just against symptoms.

At AshCare, we use a blended approach. That means we may recommend traditional treatments when necessary, but we also explore:

• Herbal remedies for inflammation, stress, or hormone support
  
• Nutrition plans tailored to your metabolism and gut health
  
• Supplements backed by science and chosen specifically for your body
  
• Lifestyle strategies to support your nervous system, sleep, and energy
  

We don’t throw pills at problems. We get curious. We ask why your symptoms are happening and what your body needs to come back into balance. And we tailor every recommendation to your personal story.

3. We Focus on Relationships, Not Just Results

Let’s be honest, some healthcare experiences feel cold and transactional. You check in, wait 30 minutes, talk to someone for 10, and then get a prescription and a bill.

That’s not what we do here.

AshCare was built on the idea that relationships are at the heart of healing. You’re not just a patient, you’re a person. And your care should reflect that.

That’s why we:

• Build long-term partnerships, not just one-off visits
  
• Offer direct communication between appointments so you’re never left in the dark
  
• Celebrate your wins, big and small from better sleep to lab improvements
  
• Support you emotionally, not just physically, as you go through life’s ups and downs
  

We also know that healing isn’t always linear. Some weeks are harder than others. Sometimes you try something and it doesn’t work. We’re here for all of it with empathy, encouragement, and a plan B if needed.

Why This Matters—Especially Now

More people than ever are burnt out, overwhelmed, and feeling disconnected from their bodies. They’re told everything looks “normal,” but they still don’t feel well. They’re tired of waiting months for answers, tired of feeling dismissed, and tired of being treated like a number.

I hear you, and that’s exactly why I created AshCare.

Our approach isn’t about trends or quick fixes. It’s about root cause medicine, thoughtful support, and building lasting wellness together.

So if you’ve been searching for something more: more answers, more time, more compassion, I invite you to experience the AshCare difference. You deserve a care team that listens deeply, thinks holistically, and believes your health is worth the time it takes to truly heal.
