About Restorative Functional Medicine

What is Restorative Functional Medicine?

Restorative Functional Medicine is a functional medicine practice at 10426 Jackson Oaks Way in Knoxville, Tennessee. Emily Kopek, PA-C founded it, and she and Kayla Herron, PA-C are its prescribers. Kayla Herron is listed as a functional medicine practitioner and skin expert. In its own words: "Instead of just masking symptoms with a quick fix, we find and treat the root cause of your health issues to restore optimal, long-term wellness."

Its services include hormone and thyroid care (bio-identical hormones as pellets, creams or troches, male testosterone therapy, and thyroid function), everyday wellness (primary care, annual women's exams, weight loss support, and adrenal fatigue recovery), gut and chronic illness care, vitamin injections, and aesthetic treatments with disport, skin pen, PRP and chemical peels.

Among its services, hormone therapy is the one most clearly described. Weight loss appears only as weight loss support, with no program described, and no peptide therapy is named. Virtual visits are offered from anywhere. Its Google listing shows a 5 rating from 4 reviews.

This listing is for its Knoxville office at 10426 Jackson Oaks Way Ste 103.

What does it cost?

A new patient visit is $315. It runs 1 hour and covers your health history and a wellness plan. Follow-up visits are $160 for a 30-min appointment, $235 for a 45-min extended appointment, and $235 for an established annual women's exam. Both prescribers work on a pay-per-visit model, and no membership is described.

Office visits are cash pay: "We do not accept insurance for office visits." The clinic takes HSA and FSA cards, major credit cards, checks and cash. It offers no payment plans and does not accept CareCredit. Bloodwork run through LabCorp or Quest in the office can be billed to insurance, and most specialty tests are self-pay. Aesthetic pricing is not fixed because each treatment is customized, so the clinic asks you to call for a quote. It does not publish hormone therapy prices or say whether medication is included in visit fees.

What should you ask before you book?

The clinic does not publish a phone number, so use the Book Appointment option to put these questions to it.

Ask who writes and manages your hormone or thyroid prescription, and how often you will see that person. Ask whether medication is billed on top of visit fees, and what a typical first year would cost. Ask whether the hormone products are brand-name or compounded, and which pharmacy fills them. Ask what follow-up lab work costs and which tests will go to insurance. Ask whether virtual visits are priced the same as office visits. Ask how long a follow-up wait runs, since you can join a waitlist. Ask how appointments are cancelled or changed and whether a fee applies. Ask how long the practice has been open, because it does not publish that.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want hormone, thyroid or primary care from a Knoxville practice, or a virtual visit, and you are comfortable paying per visit by cash, HSA or card. It is less likely to fit if you are looking for a weight loss program or peptide therapy, since neither is described in any detail.
