Experience the Difference of Functional Medicine Done Right

Choosing a healthcare provider is one of the most personal decisions you will make. It goes beyond credentials and location — you need someone who will actually listen, who sees you as a whole person rather than a set of symptoms, and who has the tools and the commitment to help you find real answers. That is not always easy to find.

At Premier Integrative & Functional Medicine, we understand that many of our patients come to us having already been through the conventional medical system — sometimes for years — without getting the answers or the relief they were looking for. We built this practice specifically for you.

“We don’t just look at what shows up on a standard lab report. We dig deeper — because we’ve both experienced firsthand what it feels like when medicine doesn’t have the answers.“

The Premier IFM Difference

Here is what sets us apart from a conventional medical practice — and why it matters for your health.

We Find the Root Cause

We go beyond symptom management. Using advanced diagnostics and a whole-body approach, we identify what is actually driving your condition.

Personalized to You

No two patients receive the same plan. Everything is tailored to your unique labs, history, and health goals.

You Get Real Time With Your Provider

No rushed 7-minute appointments. We take the time (1 hour) to understand your full history, your lifestyle, and your goals before we ever make a recommendation.

We've Been There Too

Both Dr. Mortensen and Nurse Jessica have personal journeys with health challenges that led them here. They bring lived experience — not just clinical training — to your care.

Advanced Therapies Under One Roof

HBOT, infrared sauna, laser therapy, red light therapy — evidence-based regenerative treatments most practices simply don't offer.

 The People Behind Your Care

Our team didn't arrive here by accident. Their personal experiences with the healthcare system — and its limitations — are exactly what shaped the way we practice.

The only way to truly know if we are a good fit or not is to give us a call. Kristen, Vic, Heather, or Kat can answer any questions you might have about our practice, Dr. Craig, Nurse Jessica, and our office.

One of my goals in my practice, as well as in my life is to be as upfront and transparent as possible. Throughout my website and in all of my videos, Facebook pages and newsletters, I try to portray who I am as a person and practitioner. I don’t try to hide anything or be vague.
