As a board-certified pediatrician at Camarillo Children’s Medical Group (CCMG), I see children for general physicals, sick visits, and chronic illness management. While conventional medicine is excellent for acute issues, some children don't fully thrive under the standard paradigm. You may find that asthma remains uncontrolled, allergies persist, or ADHD/anxiety medications only offer partial relief. Functional medicine fills this gap by focusing on "root cause" medicine. Instead of just managing symptoms, we identify and fix the "holes" in your child’s inherent physiological processes, restoring their body’s natural ability to heal.

Our comprehensive package includes 7 targeted sessions to ensure deep, lasting healing: ●       The Clinical Deep Dive (45–60 min): We review detailed screening forms and history to identify deficiencies in your child’s healing and order specialized functional labs. ●       Analysis & Strategy (Two 60-min sessions): We analyze lab reports and build a structured, realistic plan to start the healing journey. ●       Progress & Support (Four 15–20 min sessions): These status checks allow us to monitor progress, clarify supplement questions, and modify treatment plans based on your child's response.

Our packages typically span 6–12 months. Healing is a journey, not a quick fix. The timeline depends on the complexity of the case and how quickly the family can adapt to new diets and routines. Commitment and consistency from the entire family are the biggest drivers of fast, sustainable results.

Every biological system requires time to reset. For example: ●       Red blood cells: 120 days to renew. ●       Skin turnover: 28–40 days. ●       Neurotransmitters & Mood: Often 3–6 months to see significant change. ●       Inflammation reduction: 4–8 weeks. It takes an average of 60 days to reach "automaticity" with a new habit. While we cannot guarantee a specific outcome, healing is a natural process that begins once we mitigate the triggering factors causing the insult.

Pricing is based on case complexity. Our standard comprehensive package is $4,500 and includes: ●       All 7 scheduled visits (3 one-hour and 4 twenty-minute sessions). ●       Comprehensive functional testing: Stool analysis, Urine Organic Acid Test (OAT), and a detailed Genetic SNP test. ●       Direct access to the EHR portal for questions. ●       Discounts: Patients who see me as their PCP at CCMG receive a discounted rate. Prices can also be adjusted for those with recent labs or those opting out of genetic testing. Additional visits are $250 each.

Yes. We want this care to be accessible and currently accept CareCredit and Cherry Care for financing.

Safety is my highest priority. I use a vast database to research every product, ensuring they have been used in clinical trials with children and show significant efficacy with minimal side effects. All brands are third-party tested for purity and safety. Furthermore, we use your child's genetic profile to ensure they can metabolize these remedies appropriately.

All functional medicine consultations are conducted via a HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform. I continue to see pediatric patients at Camarillo Children’s Medical Group for in-person physicals and acute care (accepting PPOs, Tricare, Seaview HMO, or Cash; Medi-Cal is not seen). Because functional care is comprehensive and typically not covered by insurance, it is managed exclusively through our online platform.

Our habits, fears, and personalities are often cemented in our subconscious mind. As a certified handwriting analyst, I use Graphotherapy to help parents who feel overwhelmed by lifestyle changes. By analyzing your handwriting, we can identify subconscious obstacles and use specific writing exercises to help you become a stronger, more confident, and happier version of yourself.
