Our Prices
We encourage all our newly registered patients to see both doctor and dietitian to take advantage of the wealth of their combined clinical knowledge and expertise. We have observed the best outcomes in patients who choose this approach. This does not come as a surprise: the functional medical model is rooted in personalised nutritional interventions based on research and medical evaluations that are unique for each patient. The ability to combine medical expertise with nutritional expertise is the key to successful outcomes. Indeed, the Institute for Functional Medicine encourages this type of combined approach for this very reason.
For most presenting conditions, a ‘typical’ patient journey may last 6-12 months and will look something like this:
Foundation Programme - Information & Pricing

Overview
Most patients beginning a functional medicine programme require on average, over a 4-6 months period:
- 2 doctor appointments (Initial assessment, plus one follow-up)
- 4 dietitian appointments (initial assessment plus 3 follow-ups)
These appointments form the Core Foundation Programme, designed to deliver a comprehensive assessment, personalised plan, and the best chance of successful outcomes.
For a limited time, the full programme is available with a 10% discount when paid in full at the start of the process.
Individual appointments remain available at full price (see below).
Structured care with practitioners support and 10% savings.
Foundation Programme
Discovery Call — 15 mins
Discuss concerns, assess fit, arrange tests. Allow around 4 weeks for test results before the initial consultation with the dietitian.
Initial Comprehensive Assessment (Doctor + Dietitian, Joint or Sequential)
- Joint doctor and dietitian appointment: allow 2–3 hours. This means you will tell your story once, to both doctor and dietitian. The test results will be available to discuss at this appointment
Or
- Alternatively, the first appointments with the doctor and the dietitian can be carried out sequentially, and last 90 mins each. This is suitable for those patients who want to get started as soon as possible with the doctor, and are happy to wait to see the dietitian after the test results become available ( 3-4 weeks turnaround time).
- The first appointment with the doctor is primarily dedicated to taking a very detailed history, discussing past tests and management plans, and setting goals. The first appointment with the dietitian covers the test results (e.g. comprehensive stool analysis), dietary review and starting a 3 month gut healing programme
1st Follow‑Up — 60 mins
4 weeks after initial dietitian consultation.
Focus: Early progress review and plan adjustments
2nd Follow‑Up — 45 mins
4 weeks after the first follow‑up.
Focus: Core phase of gut‑healing programme and dietary review.
3rd Follow‑Up — 45 mins
4 weeks after the second follow-up.
Final adjustments before doctor review.
Doctor Review (60 mins)
Usually aligned with the 3rd dietitian follow‑up.
Focus: progress assessment, response evaluation, and next‑step planning.

Fees Structure
We encourage all our newly registered patients to see both one of our Functional Medicine Doctors and one of our Functional Medicine Dietitians to take advantage of the wealth of their combined clinical knowledge and expertise. Since the early days of their professional collaboration, Daniela and Lynda observed the best outcomes in patients who consulted them jointly. This does not come as a surprise: the functional medical model is rooted in personalised nutritional interventions based on research and medical evaluations that are unique for each patient. The ability to combine medical expertise with nutritional expertise is the key to successful outcomes. Indeed, the Institute for Functional Medicine encourages this type of combined approach for this very reason.
However, we understand that for some patients a combined approach is not suited to their needs. In this case, we offer a separate solo fee structure for first appointments that reflects the extra time required to cover aspects of the initial assessment normally carried out by the other professional in the team.
A 15 min Discovery call is suggested to see whether Functional Medicine is a suitable approach for you. On booking a Discovery Consultation we ask for a £50 deposit which will be deducted from your first appointment with Dr Mo. If you do not go on to book an appointment this deposit is non-refundable and covers the cost of time taken for the phone consultation. If you are not available when the doctor calls you for this consultation the deposit is non-refundable unless you cancel or postpone the call within 24 hours.
New joint patient appointments are typically on alternate Tuesday and Thursday mornings with a 9.30 am start time and alternate Fridays am and pm. The appointments are approx 2.5 to 3 hours. Full payment is required seven days in advance for a new patient appointment.
A typical Functional Medicine episode from first assessment to conclusion will require two follow-ups with the doctor and four to five follow-ups with dietitian in a 6-month period. Naturally, there is much variation on this typical scenario, with some patients requiring less input, and some more.
Follow-up fees are the same whether the first assessment was combined or solo.
Prior to Your Initial Consultation
Recommended tests:
To make use of the lead time to the first consultation and allow all appropriate data gathering, during the Discovery Call we typically recommend a comprehensive stool analysis to be done ahead of the initial appointment.
This has the advantage of avoiding delays in treatment whilst waiting for test results to be available. Treatment is therefore tailored specifically to you and initiated at the initial appointment. Whilst testing ahead of the first consultation is not mandatory, and may in some limited cases not be appropriate, the majority of our patients choose to run tests that are discussed during the Discovery Call.
Should your clinician see the need for further tests, this will be discussed at the initial consultation and the information will be added to your report. We use a variety of clinically relevant tests and a list of typical tests is available upon request. The list is not exhaustive and may not be specifically relevant to each individual; it does, however, give an idea of the range of potential costs involved. DOWNLOAD LIST OF TESTS

Cancellation policy
You may cancel a follow-up appointment at any time on giving 24 hours’ notice. You may cancel any follow-up appointment at any time by notifying us in writing or by telephone.
You will not be charged if you cancel a follow-up appointment up to 24 hours before the scheduled start time of the relevant appointment. There will be a 100% charge for no-shows or late cancellations. Exceptional circumstances may apply. Please refer to FMW Cancellation Policy.
Communication
We encourage our patients to contact us via their secure patient portal. Please refer to FMW Communications Policy.
NOTE: If there is a need for longer discussion or more complex answers, please book a follow-up appointment. Questions requiring more than a 5-minute response fit this scenario. Additionally, if it has been longer than 8 weeks since your last appointment, an email exchange may not best suit your clinical needs, and a follow-up appointment would be more appropriate.
Before your initial appointment
We require that all new patients complete and return their new patient paperwork. The below items are for completion and will be attached to your appointment confirmation email. These must be completed and returned at least 3 days in advance of your appointment:
- Pre-Appointment Form
- Medical Symptoms Questionnaire
- 3 Day Food Diary
- BRIEF GP SUMMARY We require details of your NHS GP or primary care giver and would need an “Brief Summary” from your GP. You may be able to obtain this if you are registered online with your GP or you can call your surgery and request that they either print one for collection or email it to you. You can request a similar report from your primary care giver if you do not have an NHS GP. This information is to be available by your first appointment. Some NHS GP Surgeries can take approximately 14 days to provide this information.
- FMW ELECTRONIC CONSENT FORM The FMW Electronic Consent Form will be added to your secure patient portal. Patients MUST read and accept the items within this consent form to proceed with their appointment.
The new patient forms and questionnaires must be completed and returned NO LATER THAN 3 WORKING DAYS prior to the appointment. If they are not received within this time frame, we will reschedule the appointment and cancellation fees will apply.
Confidentiality
Please refer to FMW Privacy Policy.
Every member of staff whether clinical or administrative is bound by rules of confidentiality.
Exceptions to confidentiality rules apply if there is disclosure by you of any risk or intention of self-harm or harm to others.
Your records are kept safely, and their contents may not be disclosed to anyone without your authorisation, or unless the law authorises or compels us to do so. You are required to sign and return your confidentiality statement which will be stored in your patient portal.
Does it seem expensive?
The actual time spent researching your individual case is considerably longer than the time you will be charged for. Functional Medicine differs from the conventional approach, in that it tries to find personalised answers to your very specific case.
In the conventional setting, it is rare for any in-depth research to be carried out. The clinician will apply a well- rehearsed, standard management protocol to all patients presenting with the same symptoms. A typical 20-minute consultation with a conventional consultant will cost around £150-200, and will result perhaps in a prescription, some standard investigations and a single management letter.
A personalised approach. Tailored solutions.
The Functional approach could not be more different. Your first consultation with one of our FM GPs or with one of our FM Dietitians is considerably longer than a standard consultation. This is because the key to identifying the root cause of disease is to take a very detailed history.
The work begins in earnest at this point: analysis of existing results, and in-depth reference to existing literature and publication/s that help us explain and manage your condition. You are unique, your medical issues are unique, so a unique solution must be sought. Rarely is there a quick answer or a quick fix. It may take many hours for the clinicians to do this unique and personalised research. Our goal is to find the best possible solution for you, whatever time it takes.
How long will it take to see improvements? How many appointments will I need?
In our experience, a ‘typical’ functional medicine management plan would take about 6 months, during which time you would see one of our FM GPs 2-3 times, and one of our FM Dietitians 5-6 times. Changes in symptoms may be seen within the first few weeks.
Naturally, this will vary depending on the level of complexity of each person’s presentation, and on individual needs. Every person has a different pace of change. We work to suit our patients’ needs and expectations.
