Physician

Job DescriptionOverviewRestoration Healthcare - a Southern California-based medical practice that is on a mission to restore hope and optimize the body's innate ability to heal from within through the compassionate delivery of functional medicine - has an immediate opening for a full-time Functional Medicine-minded Physician interested in using an integrative approach to medicine to diagnose and treat the root causes of chronic illness.

Working in a direct patient care capacity alongside other practice physicians and our Medical Director - who herself is a nationally-recognized osteopathic family physician with deep roots and expertise in functional medicine and the treatment of complex health issues - the Physician interviews and examines patients, assesses patients current and ongoing health, orders and interprets lab and test results, makes initial and ongoing diagnoses, determines and documents plans of care, prescribes medication and supplements, offers education, and updates patient records in our electronic health records platform.
