About Dr. Hartman

My own journey with Functional Medicine actually started with our first daughter, who we took in as a foster child, then adopted. She has cerebral palsy and countless dietary issues. We went to specialist after specialist, and even as a physician I felt let down and confused.

My daughter's health struggles forced me to confront an uncomfortable realization:

Our current health care system doesn't have all the answers.

My wife, a brilliant--and very stubborn--occupational therapist refused to give up hope. She ultimately pointed me towards functional medicine.
