About
Wertheimer Center for Functional Medicine is a functional medicine practice that addresses the root causes of chronic disease rather than treating symptoms alone. The practice is led by Dr. Wertheimer, a double board-certified internist and cardiologist who combines conventional medical knowledge with integrative diagnostic and treatment approaches. The center serves patients seeking both preventive care and treatment for complex chronic health conditions.
The practice operates on the principle that chronic diseases result from multiple interconnected physiological and biochemical factors. Dr. Wertheimer conducts extensive initial consultations lasting two hours to understand each patient's complete health history and lifestyle before developing personalized treatment plans. The center emphasizes nutrition, reduction of environmental toxin exposure, identification and treatment of food sensitivities, and targeted supplementation. While medications are used when necessary, the focus is on identifying underlying causes and implementing comprehensive treatment modalities tailored to each patient's unique biochemistry rather than applying standardized solutions.

• Comprehensive functional medicine evaluation and assessment • Preventive care focused on disease prevention rather than early detection • Treatment of chronic health conditions including autoimmune diseases, diabetes, heart disease, gastrointestinal disorders, and neurological conditions • Food sensitivity and allergy testing and treatment • Personalized supplement and nutrition recommendations • Advanced biochemical and physiological diagnostic testing • Treatment for conditions including Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, Hashimoto's disease, IBS, type 1 and 2 diabetes, coronary artery disease, celiac disease, GERD, and SIBO
