Functional Medicine Doctor
Functional Medicine provides individualized, personalized medical care that focuses on discovering the underlying factors that cause illness and unpleasant symptoms. We look to understand the root cause of disease and then treat the cause in order to remove the symptoms as opposed to alleviating symptoms without addressing the underlying problems.
Doctor Anita Sadaty’s functional medicine practice in New York takes conventional medicine training, with its modern understanding of the human body, and integrates it with naturopathic practices, providing a customized solution for each patient.

Are Thrive Medical Programs Covered By Insurance?
The functional medicine model of care does not use a symptom-based approach to managing disease. Our programs focus on optimizing wellness and identifying imbalances that undermine your health. This integrative model of care incorporates extensive health history interviews and questionnaires, selective functional testing and the construction of highly individualized care plans.
Unfortunately, this type of preventive care and health optimization approach is not a covered service under private insurance plans and cannot be submitted for reimbursement.
