When your health problems are complex, it can be difficult and frustrating to find answers. Your primary care physician may be treating your symptoms without understanding the root of your illness or pain. At the Kaplan Center, you will find a highly dedicated and skilled team of medical professionals working towards one common goal: returning you to optimal health and keeping you there. Our uniquely integrative, non-surgical treatment approach, combined with a functional medicine perspective, is highly successful in identifying and addressing the root cause of disease. For more than 30 years, we have delivered superior, cutting-edge health care in the Washington, DC area.
We take the time to listen to and understand a patient’s medical history
so we can determine therapies that will work best.
As Functional Medicine practitioners, we assess the interactions of the patient’s history, physiology, lifestyle, unique genetic makeup, and mind-body-spirit that affect the function of the body as a whole.
Functional Medicine practitioners assess six major areas of health.
In looking for clues that may be contributing to symptoms of illness or disease we systematically assess and optimize the following six major areas of health:
- Immune system: We look for signs of inflammation and auto-immune diseases (including Hashimoto’s thyroid disease, Lupus, Multiple Sclerosis, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, pain, allergies/sensitivities, etc.).
- Energy systems: We assess for factors that may be depleting your body’s energy, including your mitochondrial (energy part of cells) health, nutrient deficiencies and excesses.
- Heart and metabolic systems: We evaluate for signs of heart and vascular disease and abnormal blood sugar values.
- Hormone systems: For women, we assess for signs of PMS, fibroids, perimenopause and menopause, estrogen dominance, and other conditions of hormone imbalance; and for men, we assess for signs of loss of motivation, focus, low libido, andropause (low testosterone), erectile dysfunction, poor work-out recovery, poor exercise endurance, fatigue, and other conditions of hormone imbalance.
- Detoxification system: We assess for signs of toxin overload or the inability to release toxins from your liver and body. This system is key for optimal health of the body as well as maintaining a youthful appearance and vitality.
- Gastrointestinal/digestive systems: We look for signs of inflammation in the gut, food sensitivities, and infections. This system is also vital to all other systems operating effectively and preventing autoimmune diseases, weight gain, and inflammation throughout your body (joints, sinuses, lungs, thyroid, etc.).
Better Health Starts Here
If only there was a single pill that could resolve your condition.
The reality, however, is that the causes of illness and pain are multidimensional, and effective treatment requires a multidimensional approach.
Integrative & Functional Medicine Treatments May Include . . .
At the Kaplan Center for Integrative Medicine we offer patients a unique diagnostic protocol — taking the time to talk with patients to understand their symptoms, their medical history, which treatments have and haven’t worked in the past, and reviewing patients’ musculoskeletal, physiological and even emotional systems.

What Patients Are Saying…
The Kaplan Center has a wide range of caring specialists who can diagnose and treat most orders. I have recommended the Kaplan Center to others and will continue to do so.
I love Dr. Gary and the whole practice. They are not only super competent, but kind and welcoming.
The Kaplan Center is a life saver! I don’t know what I would have done if I hadn’t found them. Dr Lisa is so wonderful!
Insurance Participation
At the Kaplan Center for Integrative Medicine, we have chosen to work outside of commercial insurance plans. By doing so, we have realigned our priorities with yours: returning you to optimal health.
Please note: If your insurance policy has out-of-network benefits a portion of our charges may be covered. Before your first visit, talk to your insurance company about your out-of-network benefits and what they include, as every plan is different.
To help our patients file accurate claims for reimbursement, we provide detailed billing forms containing all of the appropriate codes to submit to your insurance plan. For those who would like us to submit the claims on their behalf, we are happy to do so for an additional charge. Some of our practitioners are “Non-Participating providers” with Medicare, but Dr. Kaplan and Dr. Lilienfield have “Opted-out” of Medicare. We are not accepting Medicare Advantage patients.
