About Functional Medicine Specialists

What is Functional Medicine Specialists?

Functional Medicine Specialists is a functional and integrative medicine practice at 317 N El Camino Real Suite 407 in Encinitas, California. Cambria De Marco, MSN, ACNP-BC, IFM, founded it and is the only prescriber named. She has been an independently practicing nurse practitioner for 23 years, and she is also a certified Bredesen Practitioner. The practice lists North County San Diego and telehealth as its service area and says it is licensed in CA, FL, NV, NH, NM, NY, OR and WA. Its Google rating is 5 from 31 reviews.

It offers six services: neurological health, digestive health, cardiovascular health, autoimmunity and allergies, hormonal balance, and PRP and micro-current facials. Hormone care is one of those six, not the whole practice. For that service, the practice says: "use bio-identical hormones to safely bring back the harmony of your hormonal symphony." It does not name a weight loss program or any GLP-1 medication.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices or a consultation fee. It also does not say whether it accepts insurance or whether a monthly fee would include medication. Ask all of this before you book.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask which hormone medications would be prescribed, and whether they are brand-name or compounded. Ask whether hormone visits happen by video or in person, since the practice does not say. Ask what the consultation costs, and what follow-up visits and lab work cost on top of it. If a program has a monthly fee, ask whether medication is included or billed separately. Ask whether insurance is accepted at all, and whether HSA funds can be used. Ask how cancellation works.

The hours need confirming too. The contact page says the office is open Tuesday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, while the footer says Monday to Thursday, 9am to 5pm. Call before you plan a visit.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a nurse practitioner who takes a systems approach across several areas of health, and you are comfortable paying out of pocket without a published price list. It is a poor fit if you are looking for a named weight loss or GLP-1 program, or if you need to see prices before you call.
