Dr. Omar Akhter's Functional Medicine practice in Austin, TX specializing in hormone health.
Let me paint you a picture. You develop symptoms or have a chronic disease and visit a physician. They see you very briefly, run some lab tests and prescribe some medications. But you don't really have an answer of what's going on, or more importantly why! Maybe you were told it's nothing to worry about or that you're just getting older or that it's all in your head. Maybe no one took the time to listen to you. You have a deep feeling that something is wrong and needs to be fixed. Sound familiar?
The picture I just painted is exactly how our healthcare system works right now for chronic disease. A lack of quality time with a physician, lack of personalized approach, and an overemphasis on prescription medication without taking a holistic approach.
That's why I started this practice. My approach aims to look at the patient as a whole and work hard to OPTIMIZE health, especially hormone health. More and more people are waking up to the realization that this model is the best approach for chronic disease. I welcome you to find out more below!
