Philadelphia Integrative Medicine

PIM offers a free 20-minute optional consultation so prospective patients can learn more before committing. This call helps the team understand your health goals and determine which provider fits your needs. New patients complete a detailed intake process before their first appointment to ensure the visit focuses on care rather than paperwork.

Standard follow-up appointments run 30 minutes, while initial and extended appointments such as the Impact Your Genetics program run 60 to 80 minutes. Most patients return every six weeks on average, though each provider tailors the schedule to individual treatment plans.

PIM offers appointment packages for existing patients, including four standard 30-minute follow-up visits with Lynda Sherland for $1,100. Specialty testing costs range from $0 to $714 per test depending on the panel. Patients spend around $150 per month on supplements on average.

PIM providers function as integrative medicine specialists and do not act as primary care physicians. Patients should check with their insurance carrier directly about possible reimbursement for out-of-network specialist visits. Some standard lab work through Quest Diagnostics or LabCorp may qualify for insurance coverage.

The practice uses a wide range of advanced diagnostics. These include GI-MAP gut analysis, DUTCH hormone testing, saliva and urine hormone panels, mold and mycotoxin panels, IgG and IgA food sensitivity testing, mitochondrial function and oxidative stress testing, and MTHFR genetic panels. PIM partners with Quest Diagnostics and LabCorp for standard blood draws; the practice does not perform in-office blood draws.

The Impact Your Genetics program allows existing PIM patients to have their raw genetic data interpreted as part of a personalized treatment plan. Dr. Georgia Tetlow conducts these sessions in 80-minute extended appointments. The program examines functional genetic factors including MTHFR pathways and detoxification routes.
