What is Functional Medicine?

Functional medicine takes a personalized approach to your health. We partner with you to create wellness as we use advanced diagnostics and root cause analysis in order to treat symptoms such as fatigue, hormonal imbalance, cardio-metabolic dysfunction, and gastro-intestinal issues.

We explore holistic treatments, look at lifestyle, nutrition, genetics, environment to understand the problem and find solutions. We support you with supplements and medications when needed all while fostering a trusting, compassionate relationship with you.

You want to be Heard. We want to Listen.

We aren’t going to bounce you around between specialists, or rush you through your appointments. Taking care of your health shouldn’t add stress to your life or feel like a full-time job. We are here to help you, providing medical care and consistent support so you never feel like you’re doing it alone. We follow up with you regularly to check in on results, prescriptions, help you problem solve and provide lifestyle coaching — and you’re not stuck chasing us for answers.

How We’re Changing the Landscape

Standard medical practices focus heavily on disease management and diagnosis, in other words, “name it, blame it, and tame it.”

At Koren we want to do better for our patients. We use a systems based approach by:

  • Exploring your personal story

  • Looking at your unique biology

  • Examining how exposures and stressors affect your health

Each person is completely unique, so we create a custom treatment plan together using:

  • Cutting edge evidence-based medicine

  • Clinical Expertise

  • An integrative approach that centers on physiology and function

  • Teaching and support all along the way

  • And, just as important as our medical expertise: concierge level customer service

Why Koren Health & Wellness?

Simply put: we provide a higher level of care and services not traditionally available in conventional medicine or only available through a series of specialist referrals. Who has time for that?

  • "Suzana helped me understand how my background and story affects my health and helped encourage me to take the steps needed to get better. And she was there anytime I needed her expertise or support"

  • "I didn't understand what functional medicine was at first, but I realized its just a way to understand where your symptoms come from. Suzana is very thorough in her appointments and I was able to see how different stressors affect my Crohn's disease just as much as my diet and medication."

  • "I'm two months into my program and I already understand more about my body than I have in 40 years. No doctor or nurse has ever asked me so much about myself- Suzana is like a detective and is able to explain her recommendations in a really easy and thorough way- no jargon here."

Board Certified, Never Judgmental, Always Holistic

I started Koren Health & Wellness so I can help change the trajectory of chronic disease in the United States by focusing on prevention and a return to wellness by looking at the root cause of disease, addressing social determinants of health, and helping people find lasting wellness.

My passion for functional medicine was inspired by my own personal journey to wellness and my previous work in emergency medicine, open heart surgery, ventricular assist devices, and liver/heart transplant. During my twenty years in conventional hospital settings, I saw first hand that the current healthcare model of treating symptoms of a patient’s disease instead of focusing on the root cause of these symptoms frequently resulted in pain and suffering for my patients and their families.

Whether you suffer from fatigue, hormonal imbalance, cardio-metabolic dysfunction, gastro-intestinal issues, unexplained symptoms, or just want to understand your body and be the best “You” that you can be, book a free 15 minute consult and let’s see how Koren Health & Wellness can help you.
