Frequently Ask Questions

What is the BIGGE approach and how is it different from conventional care?

The BIGGE approach focuses on the interconnected systems of your Brain, Immune, Gut, Genetic, and Endocrine health. Instead of just treating symptoms, Dr. Serle looks for the root imbalance across these five systems—because real healing starts when we understand the “why” behind your condition..

What conditions can functional medicine help with?

Functional medicine can support a wide range of chronic issues including fatigue, anxiety, ADHD, digestive problems, autoimmunity, and hormone imbalances. By assessing your BIGGE systems, we can develop a personalized plan to rebalance your health and restore function.

How much is a consultation, and do you take insurance?

The initial consultation costs $297, and the follow-up consultation costs $100. We do not take insurance.

Does insurance cover bloodwork, and what is our out-of-pocket expense for bloodwork?

When ordering blood work (if necessary), Dr. Serle utilizes lab companies (QuestDiagnostics and LabCorp) that accept all major health insurance plans, except for Medicare and Medicaid. For patients with Medicare or Medicaid insurance, the cash price for blood work will be between $250 and $450, depending on the health issues. This applies to patients who have no health insurance as well.

What’s a brain map?

The brain map is also called quantitative electroencephalography (QEEG). Its analysis involves recording digital EEG signals, which are processed, transformed and analyzed using complex mathematical algorithms. The QEEG/Brain map is an extensive exam used at Harvard, UCLA, Utah, South Carolina, and Tennessee. It will provide a picture of the patient’s brain wave patterns and help Dr. Serle determine the areas of concern in the brain.

Are there any side effects with a brain map?

No, the Brain Map is Non-Invasive. There’s no current going into the brain. The brain map records electric impulses (brainwaves) just like an EKG records electrical impulses from the heart.

What’s the age requirement?

Dr. Serle does not treat children less than 16 years old.
