Looking for a doctor who will treat you as a whole person?
- Your specialists each see one piece, and nobody connects them

- You’re ready for time, answers and a real plan
You’re not alone. Many of Dr. Kellman’s patients arrive after years of unexplained symptoms and being told their labs look normal. His job is to keep looking.
What is integrative medicine?
Integrative medicine combines conventional medical care with other approaches, such as nutrition, lifestyle changes, targeted supplements and mind-body practices, chosen for the individual patient. The goal is to treat the whole person rather than a single symptom or organ.
“Holistic medicine” describes the same whole-person view. The difference that matters most is who is practicing it: Dr. Kellman is a licensed physician trained in internal medicine, so integrative care with him starts from a full medical evaluation.
Integrative, functional and holistic: how they relate
- Integrative medicine brings conventional and complementary approaches together in one plan.
- Functional medicine focuses on finding the underlying reasons for chronic symptoms and how the body's systems affect one another.
- Holistic medicine is the broader idea of caring for the whole person, body and mind.
- Microbiome Medicine is Dr. Kellman's own framework, which puts the gut microbiome at the center of that picture.
