Functional Medicine in Austin, Texas
Functional Medicine Doctor in Austin, Texas
Dr. Daniel Gonzalez is a functional medicine physician serving Austin, Texas, and patients across Texas and the United States online. The focus is on finding and correcting the root causes of chronic symptoms, not managing them one prescription at a time.
A different starting question
Most medical visits begin with a symptom and end with a name for it. Functional medicine begins earlier, with the conditions that produced the symptom in the first place: what you eat, how you sleep, the state of your gut, your hormones, your blood sugar, the load your body is carrying. Over time, your life becomes your biology. The work is to read that biology carefully and then change the inputs that shaped it.
If you have been told your labs are normal while you clearly do not feel normal, or you have collected a diagnosis for each symptom without anyone asking how they connect, this is the kind of care that was built for that gap. You can read the full approach on the functional medicine overview.
Who you would be working with
Dr. Daniel Gonzalez is a functional medicine physician who works with patients in Austin and throughout Texas, as well as online across the United States. His practice is built around a long, unhurried first visit and a plan that treats your history as a single connected story rather than a list of separate complaints. The aim of every plan is to make you need it less over time, not to keep you on it.
Conditions this approach is built for
Functional medicine is most useful for the chronic, multi-system problems that conventional visits tend to fragment. A few of the areas covered in depth:
Hormone health
Thyroid
Blood sugar and metabolic health
Autoimmune conditions
Chronic fatigue and pain
Brain health and mood
Chronic inflammation
Much of this work rests on looking closely, which is why comprehensive functional medicine testing is part of most plans.

Insurance, cost, and what to expect
Functional medicine works differently from an insurance-based clinic, and the money question deserves a straight answer before you book. The short version: this is a membership practice built to give you far more time and depth than a coded office visit allows. The full breakdown, including how insurance and HSA or FSA dollars fit, is on the cost and insurance page.
If you are wondering what a first visit actually looks like, the honest answer is that it is longer and more thorough than you are used to. You can start with a free 15 minute consult to see whether this is the right fit before committing to anything.
Frequently asked questions
Are you in-network with my insurance?
The practice does not bill insurance directly. It runs as a membership so that visits can be as long and thorough as your situation needs, rather than limited to what a billing code allows. Many patients use HSA or FSA funds, and you can often submit for out-of-network reimbursement. The cost and insurance page explains exactly how this works.
Do you see patients online, or only in person?
Both. The practice is online first, so most patients across Texas and the United States are seen by secure video. If you prefer to be seen locally, there is a business location in the Austin area at 3736 Bee Cave Rd #9.
Where are you located?
The Austin business location is at 3736 Bee Cave Rd #9, Austin, TX 78746, in the West Lake Hills area. Most care is delivered online, so a local address is not required to become a patient.
Do you serve Round Rock, Pflugerville, and the rest of the Austin area?
Yes. Because visits are primarily online, there is no commute involved for patients in Round Rock, Pflugerville, Cedar Park, Georgetown, or anywhere else in the greater Austin area and across Texas.
What conditions do you work with?
The focus is chronic, multi-system issues such as gut and digestive problems, hormone and thyroid imbalances, blood sugar and metabolic health, autoimmune conditions, and persistent fatigue and pain.
