Our Services
Functional Medicine Atlanta
Functional Medicine in Atlanta is an innovative and effective approach to healthcare that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of illness rather than just treating symptoms. Our team of functional medicine specialists is dedicated to helping you achieve optimal health through Functional Medicine.
What is Functional Medicine?
Functional Medicine is a science-driven, systems-based approach that views the body as an interconnected whole. It recognizes that chronic conditions don’t arise from a single cause — they develop over time through the interaction of multiple factors. Our goal is to uncover these root causes and design an individualized plan to restore optimal function.
We use the Functional Medicine model to support a wide range of conditions, including:
- Autoimmune disorders
- Digestive issues (IBS, SIBO, leaky gut)
- Hormonal imbalances (thyroid, PCOS, menopause)
- Metabolic concerns (weight, blood sugar, cholesterol)
- Chronic fatigue and brain fog
- Inflammatory and lifestyle-driven conditions

Personalized guidance to help you shift daily habits around food, stress, sleep, and movement — because these are often the most powerful medicines of all.
Individualized Treatment Plans:
Based on your assessment, we design a custom plan that may include dietary changes, targeted supplementation, detox support, stress management strategies, and other integrative therapies.

My wife was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer almost 2 years ago and we have seen a significant turnaround in her response to the chemotherapy and immunotherapy that she has been receiving for over a year and a half year with only slight changes but after starting with Atlanta Integrative and Internal Medicine, we have seen her numbers drop, many of the tumors she had when we started with them are now gone and the remaining tumor she has is down by 85%. The entire team is incredible and does whatever they can to help you in your time of need and I cannot recommend them enough.Posted on Google![]()

Dr. Cardwell totally changed my life! He helped me return to a normal immune system & life after living in a house with mold. It took time/driving but it was so worth it! I can confidently say I’ve never met a doctor that has cared so much and helped with every health issue with patience and vast knowledge. He is a true gem and I am so grateful to him and Atlanta Integrative & Internal Medicine. They are all so warm and lovely for IVs, etc and make you feel like family. It’s how visiting the doctor should be!Posted on Google![]()

After a bout of strep, I developed a rash and went to both my GP and derm who each prescribed me oral and topical steroids. Topical helped while using, but it would come back when I stopped and I was diagnosed with psoriasis. I went to AIIM and saw Jessica Caspar, APRN. She suggested ozone IVs and gave me ozonated olive oil. Within a few days of using the cream, my skin looks dramatically better! I am very hopeful and glad to not be relying on steroids. Highly recommend Jessica!Posted on Google![]()

This has been a good experience. Dr. Patel is kind and takes time to explain things. I have learned more about my health here than at any other time in my life. The only downside is that all expense is out of pocket.Posted on Google![]()

Dr. Cardwell has been treating me for the past five years. He is by far one of the best doctors I have seen. His level of compassion and the time he takes with his patients is something you very rarely see these days. I have some complicated issues and he has spent a lot of time researching what issues I am experiencing to help find a cure. I would recommend Dr. Cardwell and his staff to anyone.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
