What is Wertheimer Center for Functional Medicine?
Wertheimer Center for Functional Medicine is a functional medicine practice at 801 Franklin Avenue, Suite 2, in Franklin Lakes, New Jersey. Dr. David Wertheimer prescribes. He is a board-certified cardiologist and internist, and the practice builds each treatment plan from diagnostic testing of a patient's biochemistry and physiology. Kristina Lecca-Martinez, RN, is on the nursing staff.
It offers six services: Precision Medicine, IV Therapy, Supplements/Herbs, Hormone Replacement Therapy, Bemer Treatment and Peptide Therapy. Its hormone therapy is offered for symptoms related to menopause, peri-menopause and andropause. Its peptide therapy uses peptides made in a lab at a compounding pharmacy. Bemer Treatment uses BEMER devices alongside other treatments.
Visits are by appointment only. The first visit runs two hours with Dr. Wertheimer, and later sessions are typically one hour. It has a Google rating of 5 from 2 reviews. In its own words: "We are accepting new patients."
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices or a consultation fee. It does not say whether any monthly price includes medication. It does not publish membership terms or a cancellation policy, and it does not say whether it accepts HSA funds or financing.
It is cash pay only. In its own words: "We do not accept any form of health insurance." At the time of your visit you are given a superbill with the billing codes, so you can file for reimbursement yourself.
Call (201) 891-2861 and ask for the cost of a first visit before you book.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask who writes and signs each prescription, and whether Dr. Wertheimer does so for every treatment.
Ask what the two-hour first visit costs, what each one-hour follow-up costs, and whether lab testing is billed on top. The practice describes extensive diagnostic testing but does not say what it costs.
Ask which hormones it prescribes and whether they are brand-name or compounded. It describes bio-identical hormones formulated in a laboratory but does not name them.
Ask which peptides it offers and which compounding pharmacy makes them. It does not name them either.
Ask whether any monthly fee includes medication, what refills cost, whether telehealth is available, and how cancellation and rescheduling work.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you are paying cash for in-person care and want a long first visit with Dr. Wertheimer. If you need telehealth, insurance billing or prices in writing before you commit, call first and get those answers before you book.
