Plastic Surgeon in Greenville, SC
Home 5 Wellness in Greenville, SC 5 Consultation Information

Your best health is your most valuable asset.

What are you waiting for?

  • Are you disappointed in conventional medicine? Maybe you love your primary care doctor, but want more out of health care?
  • Do you have unanswered questions about your health that no one has been able to answer? Are you living with mysterious symptoms that no one has found a solution for?
  • Are you “getting older” and not liking the way you feel? Do you look in the mirror and not recognize yourself anymore?
  • Do you avoid making plans because you never know how you’re going to feel that day?

If your quality of life is affected by symptoms that keep you from fully participating in your life, you owe it to yourself to find out why. Every day you wait is one more day of your life you can’t get back.

Several years ago I was in the same boat. I felt like I was losing control of my health and didn’t know why. My workdays were full of patients with the same issues I had: unexplained fatigue, mood swings, aches and pains, and generally just not enjoying life anymore. I was too young to feel like that! I did my best, but at that time I didn’t have the tools I needed to help them, or even help myself! I sought answers from trusted colleagues, met some new mentors along the way, and eventually learned a different way of practicing medicine. What I needed was a whole new toolbox, and that’s what I found in functional medicine. I now have a much deeper understanding of health and how to regain and maintain it. I feel better today than I ever have. I’m happier and more fulfilled. Most importantly, I feel like I can really help my patients.

SCROLL down to the bottom of this page and review what we have to offer! We are transparent about pricing and descriptive about what is included.

What is Functional Medicine?

Functional medicine is an evolution of the practice of medicine that better responds to the healthcare needs of the 21st century. Focused on addressing the whole person, not just an isolated set of symptoms, functional medicine incorporates the latest information and understanding about how environmental and lifestyle factors, genetics, nutrition, and individual physiology influence health and wellness.

Each patient is an individual with a different background, life stressors, medical history and daily symptoms. As an MD, Dr. K takes the time to learn about and partner with each patient to provide more personalized and comprehensive health care using the best of what conventional Western medicine has to offer combined with her functional and integrative medical training. 

Use of advanced laboratory testing and other diagnostic techniques, lifestyle and dietary modifications, and prescribed combinations of medications, hormones, and nutritional supplements allow you to feel better, live with more vitality, age more slowly, and even prevent disease. 

Dr. K’s areas of focus are metabolic health and weight control, mid-life hormone management, gut & digestive health, and age management.

What Can You Expect From Dr. Katherine?

  •  She is an experienced, licensed, board-certified medical doctor trained and boarded in Pediatrics and Emergency Medicine, and has over 15 years of experience in conventional medicine. She got her functional medicine training and certification through the Institute for Functional Medicine and has also trained in Bioidentical Hormone Replacement therapy, Peptide therapy, IV Nutrient therapy, Age Management Medicine and Balance Protocol.  She has studied with the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine, the Age Management Medicine Group, the International Peptide Society, International IV Nutritional Therapy, Specialty Med Training, and many other organizations and notable individuals, and continues to actively learn and apply new ways of thinking about health.
  • She accepts a limited number of new patients per month in order to maintain a personalized experience and the highest quality of care. Dr. Katherine gets the best results with patients who are willing to maintain a close working relationship with her and her team, provide frequent feedback, and check in often. She works for her patients, not for the pharmaceutical industry or insurance companies.
  • Dr. Katherine prefers to treat you as a whole person instead of focusing on a specific illness or disease, and takes into consideration all of the systems of the body and how they are inter-related. Your workup and treatment plan is designed to balance your body at a cellular level in order to reach and maintain your goals.

What Does Dr. Katherine Expect From You?

  • Dr. Katherine asks that those interested in her functional medicine and wellness programs complete the application for consultation and book a call with her before she sees you as a patient.
  • She requires that you have a primary care doctor for routine health needs. She serves as a specialty consultant and cannot take the place of your regular doctor when it comes to acute illnesses, injuries, and routine health maintenance like mammograms, pelvic exams, prostate exams, cardiac stress testing, and colonoscopies.
  • She asks that you always be open, honest, and thorough in providing the required information. Dr. Katherine also asks that you be patient and willing to implement healing strategies that may take 3 to 6 months and sometimes longer for complex issues.

What Does Dr. Katherine Not Treat Specifically but Addresses
as Part of a Whole-Person Approach:

    • Mental illness and psychiatric disorders
    • Alzheimer’s disease
    • Parkinson’s, ALS, or other neurodegenerative diseases
    • Lyme disease
    • Cancer
    • Chronic Pain

Dr. Katherine offers her services to those interested in a more comprehensive and preventative approach to health and longevity. Please review the information below and feel free to ask questions during your pre-consultation call.

The purpose of this call is for you to learn about us and for us to learn about you, and mutually determine if we are a good fit to work together. Although Dr. Katherine and Amy Martin are licensed medical professionals, this call is for informational and screening purposes only. This session is designed to help you gain clarity and identify potential areas of need. The pre-consultation call does not establish a provider-patient medical relationship.

You will be contacted to schedule a call after submitting the application. Potential patients are assigned to an appointment type or program after the call and are given an estimate for their plan of care, including lab fees. Yes, it’s expensive, but it’s an investment in your health. You’re paying for the time it takes to focus on you and your case, and any education or research that may need to be done to provide you with the best care.

“What accounts for our rates? More than half of the work is done when you are not even here! This is when we devote time to your specific case and interpret your labs, create a care plan for you, do extra research or reading, answer your portal messages, and concentrate on what your goals are and how we are going to achieve them, together.”

You must have a separate primary care doctor! OSMD offers specialty consultation services only, and fills in the gaps left by primary care.

OSMD does NOT do workups for potentially serious new symptoms like chest or abdominal pain, neurologic symptoms, or anything potentially life threatening that has not been formally evaluated prior to seeing us.

After you reach maintenance phase, you may be offered the option for ongoing care by becoming a member of the practice. Membership confers many benefits, including substantial discounts on products and services, regular and timely appointments built in to your plan, and access to the doctor when you need extra support, including urgent care services for Platinum and Gold members. Membership is limited and by invitation only, so you may be placed on a waiting list. You will be given more information about membership options after your consultation or program.

We are a membership-based practice for ongoing wellness care: Only the Platinum and Gold concierge memberships include Dr. Katherine as your main provider for scheduled visits, urgent issues, work-in appointments, and questions after hours. However, you may see any of her expert team members in between regular appointments or when she is out of the office. The Silver membership primarily provides access to Amy Martin, NP for continuing care and urgent care issues, but we all work as a team and care equally about all of our membership patients, so you may see either one of us. We also have Hormone, Health Coaching, and IV Therapy Memberships.

Follow-up visits with Dr. K for non-members are billed as follows:

  • Comprehensive Non-member Follow-up Visit $495
  • Brief Non-member Follow-up Visit (15 min) $295
  • 15 min Phone Call $100
  • Prescription Refill/Dose adjustment $75

 

Appointment & Program Types:

OptimalSelf MD

Initial Comprehensive Case Review

Discovery • Clarity • Strategy

The ICCR is our proprietary intake experience designed to give us a full-spectrum view of your current health status and future goals. This foundational appointment marks the beginning of your personalized journey at OptimalSelf MD. We start by uncovering your unique health blueprint. Through baseline labs, body composition analysis, and an in-depth consultation, we can design a personalized plan to restore balance. 

During your ICCR, we will:

  • Conduct a consultation with Dr. K or Amy Martin, NP to explore your symptoms, history, and goals
  • Review your Comprehensive Biomarker Lab Panel to assess key functional and metabolic markers
  • Review any prior medical records or labs you upload for continuity and deeper insight
  • Provide an in-depth review of your lab findings and health history through a functional & integrative lens
  • Assess your nutrition, lifestyle, and stress factors for targeted intervention
  • Offer optional body composition analysis using the InBody scanner
  • Perform a targeted (clothed) physical exam

This is more than an intake—it’s the clinical blueprint for restoring and optimizing your health with precision and purpose.

At this visit, you’ll receive a personalized program recommendation based on your current health status, specific needs, and long-term goals. This tailored plan is designed to help you move efficiently toward optimal wellness using the modalities and therapies most appropriate for you.

In select cases—such as patients transitioning from another functional medicine practice for continued maintenance, or those interested exclusively in hormone pellets or weight loss—you may be eligible to join one of our membership tiers without completing a full protocol first.

However, to get the most out of your time with us, we highly recommend you opt for the program we recommend because it is an experience you won’t forget, and an investment in your health, your confidence, and your future. And, it is mandatory for anyone needing a functional medicine evaluation for multiple symptoms.

We offer a variety of specialty testing and therapeutic options to help you reach your health and wellness goals. Our mission is to get you looking and feeling amazing so you can live your best life!

*A detailed list of labs we do is available upon request.

Sexual Wellness Consultation

Procedure Focused

At OptimalSelf MD, we believe sexual wellness is an essential part of good health. For that reason, we have developed and are proud to offer procedural options for women and men interested in improving sexual functioning and response. As part of a comprehensive treatment approach, we ask that you fill out a set of detailed online questionnaires before meeting with your provider. Your consultation will focus on the nature of your concerns and the best course of action for resolution. This appointment is not for those seeking hormone therapy. If you are looking for a hormone or medical evaluation, you would be better served by coming in for an Initial Comprehensive Case Review, where we can also cover procedural options!

This is a complimentary consultation by phone or in person. Procedure fees are due at time of scheduling to reserve your appointment. Please fill out the online form labeled “Other” to schedule.
