They seek to help patients on a specific path to recovery rather than momentarily masking their ailments, drawing from their knowledge in pharmaceuticals, diagnosis, and naturopathic remedies. As a result, at Internal Healing and Wellness MD in The Woodlands, patients will not only receive treatment for the symptoms in question but will also gain insight into the root of the problem. This can result in permanent eradication of the illness.

MDs and Functional Medicine Doctors both complete four years of clinical education. However, Functional Medicine Doctors receive further training in comprehensive care using natural methods. They must also undergo years of medical training and obtain a license in order to operate.
