Your Investment in Health
At SouthPark Functional Medicine, we believe that the most effective healthcare is built on a deep, consistent, and direct partnership between a patient and their physician. Our fee structure is designed to support this singular focus.
Your investment covers Dr. Mahtani’s extensive time and expertise, both during and between your appointments. Unlike platform-based models with multiple providers, your entire case is personally managed by Dr. Mahtani from start to finish. This includes in-depth analysis, personalized research, and the creation of a sophisticated health plan designed only for you.
Our practice operates on a fee-for-service basis and does not participate in any insurance plans. This allows us to provide a level of care that is not possible within the constraints of the traditional insurance model. Care at SPFM is structured into two distinct phases: The Diagnostic Phase and Ongoing Care.
PHASE 1: The Diagnostic & Foundational Phase
Your journey begins with a comprehensive evaluation to uncover root causes and build your initial protocol.
- Comprehensive Initial Consultation:
- Expert Pre-Visit Analysis: Before you meet, Dr. Mahtani personally conducts an extensive review of your entire medical history, previous labs, and all intake forms. This ensures your time together is dedicated to high-level discussion and strategy.
- Dedicated Physician Time (60 minutes): You will spend a full hour, one-on-one, with Dr. Sarita Mahtani, MD, IFMCP. This unhurried visit is focused on understanding your full story and co-creating the initial steps of your health journey.
- A Foundational Action Plan: You will leave with a clear, personalized plan that includes orders for conventional or advanced functional lab testing, initial dietary and lifestyle modifications, and targeted supplement recommendations.
- A Comprehensive Summary & Roadmap: Following your visit, you will receive a detailed electronic report outlining your initial treatment plan.
- Comprehensive Lab Review & Follow-Up:
- Once your initial functional labs are complete, your second visit is dedicated to thoroughly analyzing your new clinical data. Based on these findings, Dr. Mahtani will refine and finalize your targeted health protocol.
PHASE 2: Continuing Your Care: The Membership Partnership
Functional medicine works best as an ongoing partnership rather than a series of isolated visits. After your initial consultation and first follow-up, patients are invited to continue their care through our membership — a simple, predictable way to stay closely connected with Dr. Mahtani as your health plan evolves.
- The SPFM Membership
- Three follow-up consultations per year, approximately every four months (included).
- Direct messaging with Dr. Mahtani through our secure patient portal, for questions related to your active treatment plan.
- Ongoing review and refinement of your personalized plan as new results and information arrive.
Membership is optional and is offered following your first follow-up visit, once your foundational plan is in place. For patients whose health is stable and who prefer to continue their care on an as-needed basis, follow-up consultations are available à la carte ($375/visit). (Please note: To ensure Dr. Mahtani has the dedicated time required for complex medical analysis, direct portal messaging between visits is a feature reserved exclusively for the membership track. For our à la carte patients, we kindly ask that you schedule a brief follow-up consultation for any clinical questions. This ensures Dr. Mahtani can review your chart safely and give your health the thorough, face-to-face attention it deserves.)
