Virtual Functional & Integrative Care for Women in Florida
Virtual Functional & Integrative Care for Women
Specialized care designed for women who want to look beyond symptoms and better understand the hormonal, metabolic and functional factors influencing their health.
Women throughout Florida can work virtually with Dr. Kourtney Sims for specialized physician care focused on functional and integrative medicine, perimenopause and menopause, hormone replacement therapy, weight and metabolic health, and thyroid optimization.
Dr. Kourtney is a board-certified OB-GYN, obesity medicine physician, menopause specialist and functional medicine physician who brings these disciplines together to provide a whole-person approach to women's health.
Dr. Kourtney Sims provides virtual specialty care for women in select states with a focus on functional and integrative medicine, hormone replacement therapy, perimenopause and menopause, medical weight management, metabolic health and thyroid optimization.
Because virtual specialty care is not intended to replace your local primary care physician or gynecologist, patients outside of Texas should maintain an established local healthcare provider for routine preventive care, physical examinations, acute concerns and conditions that require in-person evaluation.

How Virtual Care Works for Florida Patients
You don't have to travel to Texas to work with Dr. Kourtney. Eligible patients located in Florida can receive specialty care through secure telemedicine visits from home.
Depending on the reason you're seeking care, your evaluation may include review of your medical history, symptoms, previous laboratory results and treatments, along with additional testing when appropriate. Your care plan may incorporate conventional medical treatment alongside nutrition, lifestyle, supplements, botanical approaches and other functional or integrative strategies when appropriate.
Because this is specialty virtual care, Florida patients should maintain a local primary care physician and gynecologist for preventive care, physical examinations, acute concerns and conditions requiring in-person evaluation.
