What is functional medicine?
Functional medicine looks for the
root cause of a health concern instead of only managing its symptoms, and it treats you as a whole person, considering how your nutrition, sleep, stress, hormones, and history all connect. You can read more on our
What Is Functional Medicine page.
Do I have to be a Christian to come to IFM?
No. IFM is rooted in a Christian faith that shapes how we serve, through kindness, humility, integrity, and genuine care, but we warmly welcome people from every background, belief, and walk of life. Our faith is not who we serve; it is how we serve.
Do you take insurance?
No, IFM does not bill insurance. We are cash-based and intentional, which keeps care focused on what actually helps, with no insurance guesswork, and it means you always know what you are getting and why. We do accept FSA and HSA cards for payment.
Will IFM replace my primary care physician?
No. IFM works alongside your primary care and your existing healthcare team. Dr. Sumaili is a board-certified family physician who draws from both conventional and functional medicine to help you understand and address what is suboptimal, often before it becomes disease.
How do I book an appointment?
Every journey begins with a 15-minute Discovery Call, and the only way to schedule it is by phone. Call
+1 (229) 302-4172 and we will get you started.
What is the Discovery Call?
It is a focused 15-minute conversation and the required first step for every new patient. We learn what you are facing, what you have tried, and whether IFM is the right fit, then recommend the best next step for you.
What if IFM isn’t the right fit for me?
That is completely okay. Even if we are not the right fit, we will point you in the right direction. The Discovery Call is valuable either way.
Do you see children and families?
Yes. IFM is family-focused and offers a Pediatric Wellness Assessment to help parents and caregivers support healthy foundations for their children.
What kinds of concerns do people come to IFM for?
Common reasons include fatigue or low energy, digestive concerns, chronic inflammation, brain fog, sleep challenges, hormonal changes, healthy aging, and general prevention and optimization.
