Foundation and Diagnostic Programs

We have structured our services around individualized programs of care and treatment. These are designed at the start of the relationship with new patients, based on the patient’s history of illness and aspirations for wellness. We mutually commit to a schedule of care which involves understanding and addressing the root factors. We engage the skills and expertise of our providers with the skills and expertise of each patient to create a team and a plan for the journey, its duration, and its destination. The investment for each program is agreed upon at the time of the initial consultation. This arrangement removes further financial worries from interfering with the therapeutic process. We find this makes all the difference in establishing the rapport upon which positive work together is built. All programs begin with a 90-minute session with Dr. Sharp to take a complete holistic health history, provide you his interpretation of the underlying causes of your illness, and to design a program of care that best meets your needs.  

Diagnostic Programs

This program involves targeted functional medicine diagnostic testing with interpretation and recommendations provided by our medical director Dr. Michael Sharp.

Who is this program for?

This program is for the individual not yet ready or certain of the need for a specific treatment program but that is ready to undertake the hunt for more information and direction toward potential solutions. Whether you have little experience with non-mainstream medicine or are a veteran, a diagnostic program can uncover previously unknown root causes of or contributors to poor health improve your understanding of the underlying “why”. Even more important, these programs can illuminate the path forward to optimal health.

You will receive:

  1. Functional medicine diagnostic testing that can help establish or confirm with more certainty the root causes of illness and the most effective methods for treatment
  2. A comprehensive review of laboratory findings with Dr. Sharp including a list of recommendations to address the factors that were identified as contributing to your ill health.

Diagnostic programs are designed to easily transition to Foundation Programs when appropriate without added fees. This type of program offers a lower cost starting point for many of our clients.

Ongoing Wellness Support Programs

What comes after a foundation program? Our foundation programs are meant to begin the journey down the path of optimal health. This journey is life-long however and our clients often need occasional support to maintain gains, or follow-up testing after the conclusion of a foundation program. Follow-up programs are individually designed to provide the specific services our clients need, whether it is clinical support or additional laboratory testing. Plum Spring Clinic highly values the relationships we build with our clients and it is our mission to continue to honor these relationships by offering our program alumni the support and services they need to continue their journey.
