About Dynamic Functional Medicine

What is Dynamic Functional Medicine?

Dynamic Functional Medicine is a functional medicine and urgent care practice in Modesto, California. It offers visits by telephone or video. Tammy Hamon, FNP-BC, MSN, is the founder and the only prescriber the clinic names. It describes her as a Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner with over three decades of experience in healthcare.

Weight loss is one of several services. The clinic also lists women's and men's hormone therapy, insomnia, skin conditions, naturopathic and holistic medicine, and aging and lifestyle care. It describes its weight loss work as medical approaches that include prescription medications if needed, along with lifestyle changes and nutrition guidance. It lists no peptide therapy. Besides Modesto, it lists Manteca, Stockton, Turlock, Atwater, Merced, Fremont and Lodi. Its Google listing shows a 4.8 rating from 6 reviews.

What does it cost?

An urgent care telephone or video visit is $120. That covers the evaluation, prescriptions sent electronically to the pharmacy you choose, and labs or imaging as needed. Follow-up visits for the same condition cost less, but it gives no figure. Bundles of 5 visits cost $510 ($600 value), and bundles of 10 cost $960 ($1200 value). Anyone in your immediate family can use them, with no expiration.

It does not publish weight loss or hormone therapy prices. It asks callers to phone for functional medicine pricing and to book a 15-minute consultation, but it gives no consultation fee. No stated price says whether medication is included. Its weight loss material says you pay the pharmacy directly for your prescription.

It is cash pay only. In its own words: "we do not contract directly with insurance companies." It provides a superbill you can submit for possible reimbursement, and it notes that prescriptions, labs or imaging may still be covered, depending on your plan. Google Wallet is listed as another payment method.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs a weight loss prescription. The clinic names only Tammy Hamon and does not say who prescribes for weight loss specifically. Ask whether the medication is brand-name or compounded, and what it costs at the pharmacy. Ask whether any weight loss or hormone therapy price includes the medication, and what follow-up visits and lab work cost, since the clinic gives no figures for either. Ask what it takes to cancel, because it states no membership terms for weight loss or hormone therapy. Ask which of the listed towns have in-person visits, since it does not say.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a telephone or video urgent care visit and can pay cash, or if you are comfortable calling for weight loss or hormone therapy prices before you book. It is a weaker fit if you need published prices or a named weight loss prescriber before you call.
