From women's health and nutrition to pain management and physical therapy programs, patients have loved coming to MediCenter for all of their urgent care and treatment needs.

In May of 2015, Dr. R. Lynn Carlson was certified by the Institute for Functional Medicine as a Certified Practitioner. IFM's Certification Program deepens and widens the knowledge base of providers in the doctrines and practice of functional medicine, which is great news for families in the Kenai area.

Functional medicine is aimed toward investigating the root cause of a disease. Dr. Carlson is now in the top tier of functional medicine practitioners due to all of his dedication and hard work. With this certification he can provide a higher level of medical care to all of his patients.

In order to earn this certification, Dr. Carlson proved he was able to:

  • Use patient-focused diagnosis and apply the principles of antecedents, triggers, and mediators in assessment
  • Become skilled in using the Functional Medicine Matrix and systems thinking

  • Become skilled and learned in the treatment of patients with complex chronic disease employing diet, lifestyle, phytonutrient, nutrient, mind/body, and pharmaceutical modalities
