A New Approach to Personalized Medicine with Sara Gottfried MD

No, she is a board-certified gynecologist who practices Integrative, Functional, and Precision Medicine. You must have a local primary care physician who can coordinate your care with Dr. Sara.

You'll need to include the contact information for your local primary care physician on your application.

Dr. Sara has not accepted insurance since 2006, and her new practice will likewise not accept insurance.

When she was in the insurance model, she had 7.5 minutes per patient. She could not deliver the superior quality of care that she was trained to provide. And it caused her unnecessary stress and burnout. She needs the time to provide you with the care you seek and to have time to review your laboratory results and sensor data.

Your health demands her absolute undivided, unhurried attention. You deserve it.

Yes, her care is more expensive for patients, but it is well worth it. Most patients find that Health Spending Account (HAS) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) combined with a superbill is the most affordable way to pay for her services.

No. We will be using a lottery to assign the six weeks of appointments. After you complete the application, you will be offered an appointment if you qualify based on random allocation.

Based on your appointment, a mutual decision will be made to move forward.

Here’s a summary of what to expect.

To establish yourself as a new patient, you will complete an application for telemedicine care. You must see Dr. Sara in person once per year (and within the first year of care). You will have several options:

• You can see her via video telemedicine appointments, one-on-one. This corresponds to what she's offered in my medical practice for the past 20+ years. You'll collaboratively perform a comprehensive assessment of your health and wellbeing, collect data to identify vulnerabilities and root causes of dysfunction (genomics and biomarkers from blood, urine, and stool), and then co-create a customized protocol just for you.
• You will have the option to join her for medical “group visits” in small groups, and at a lower cost. The group visits will be led by Dr. Sara, and you’ll be in the company of like-minded people seeking to transform around a particular goal.
• You will have the opportunity to see her one-on-one for an exclusive and unprecedented level of care with deep phenotyping that includes integration of wearable sensors, multiomics, and the latest technology to advance your health.
