Our Functional Medicine Approach: A New Standard of Care
At SouthPark Functional Medicine, we believe that true health is more than the absence of disease—it is a state of complete vitality. We recognized that the conventional “symptom-care” model often fails patients with complex, chronic conditions, leaving them without answers. Our practice was founded to provide a different path.
Our Functional Medicine methodology is built on a foundation of physician-led, root-cause analysis. Led by Sarita Mahtani, MD, IFMCP, one of the respected holistic doctors in North Carolina, we move far beyond managing symptoms. We use advanced diagnostics and dedicate extensive time to investigating the intricate web of genetics, lifestyle, and environmental factors that influence your health. This is not generic wellness; it is precise, evidence-based medicine that seeks to understand your body’s unique blueprint.
But world-class diagnostics are only half of the equation. Our mission is to collaborate with you as a true partner. Through compassionate care and deep expertise, we demystify your health, providing you with the clarity and knowledge you need. We empower you to take control of your health narrative and build a foundation for a resilient, healthier future.
This is a partnership designed not just for recovery, but for lifelong optimization.

Your Questions, Answered
Clear answers to help you begin your journey with confidence. Explore some of our most common questions below.
1. What is the difference between functional and conventional medicine?
Conventional medicine is essential for acute crises and focuses on managing symptoms, often with medication. Functional medicine is a distinct approach that seeks to understand and address the complex, underlying root causes of chronic disease. It is the only methodology that uses a systems-biology framework to investigate how genetics, lifestyle, and environment interact to influence your long-term health.
2. What does my first visit include?
Your initial consultation is a comprehensive deep-dive into your health. It includes a thorough pre-visit review of your medical history by Dr. Mahtani, a dedicated one-hour, one-on-one consultation, the creation of a personalized initial action plan (which may include advanced lab orders and dietary recommendations), and a comprehensive after-visit summary.
3. Do you take insurance?
SouthPark Functional Medicine is an out-of-network provider and does not bill insurance directly. This allows Dr. Mahtani to provide a level of in-depth, personalized care that is not possible within the constraints of the insurance model. Our fees are:
- Initial Consultation (60 minutes): $599
- Follow-up Consultation (30 minutes): $299
We are happy to provide you with a detailed superbill to submit to your insurance company for any out-of-network benefits you may have.
