What Our Clients Are Saying
“Dr. Davis is great!
He is interested in solving the root cause of my issues, not just prescribing drugs and sending me on my way.
He always spends over an hour with me going over every aspect of my health.
Such a contrast to my last cardiologist that never spent more than 15 minutes with me, prescribing drugs that negatively affected me, never looking for the cause of my problems, and only doing what the insurance company would pay for.”
Norma Rosenberg
“I recently took my family member to see Dr. Davis due to the research that I have doing on heart disease on the internet. Dr. Davis went beyond all my expectations! It is very difficult to find a integrative functional medicine cardiologist who also knows the conventional approach as Dr. Davis. He was very compassionate and did not make you feel like he was in a hurry. He listened very intently to everything we had to say. He definitely is not your conventional cardiologist that has a revolving door of prescribing statins to their patients. The best thing about Dr. Davis was his holistic approach to heart issues. He considers in all the different contingencies involved in heart disease. I highly recommend him to anyone who really wants to get to the root cause of their heart disease. His staff was also amazing!”

“Dr. Cris Davis was previously a top rated cardiovascular surgeon. He now brings that skill base into his current wellness practice which is especially important to me as a patient of his with cardiac disease. His practice is phenomenal and my health has improved significantly! I’ve experienced a tremendous decrease in my weight as well. He’s a genius at this and all I can say is please don’t hesitate to make an investment in yourself towards longevity!”
Frank Griffith Jr.
“I’m an ex pharmacist based in Australia and came across Dr Chris Davis in a magazine publication.I was looking for a cardiologist who could help my dad in London with a more holistic approach to minimise the number of medications but maximise his health through exercise, healthy lifestyle and any preventive actions he could take. My dad also had a lot heavy legs and hip pain. He had been to multiple different hospital appointments in London with no real positive outcomes. He was low on energy and at 77 starting to think he is getting old! Dr Chris made recommendations to my dads general practitioner and offered specific healthcare advice. 3 months later my dad has lots of energy, is walking 10 times the
distance he could walk before and is virtually pain free. Seeing my dad happy and like a little kid again is priceless. Thank you so much.”
Hament Chavda
“In February I decided to seek out a functional doctor for numerous issues I have had, from thyroid issues, to sleep issues, anxiety, HRT, to just name a few. From day one the office staff was super helpful in gathering all of my medical records. My first visit with Dr. Davis lasted close to two hours. He listened, discussed, reviewed and ordered labs to gather details that my previous doctors had not looked at. Upon completion of my labs, we had another two hour visit to complete an action plan/next steps. The changes he made and the supplements he prescribed have already started working and I am feeling so much better. Dr. Davis is caring, thorough, and attentive to my health care needs. The office staff is also outstanding.”
Kelly Dancer
“I believe it’s essential for every patient to have a doctor like Dr. Davis when it comes to their wellness journey- whichever path that may be! He truly is a whole different breed in the best way possible. What he has created and is continuing to expand in his clinic is the future of medicine. His knowledge is unmatchable. He’s driven and motivated to find the root cause, not just suppress your symptoms which is key! I cannot say enough good things about him and his staff! They are always personable and very on top of things. If you’re looking for the gold standard of a doctor, staff, testing, diagnosing, an individualized treatment plan, etc. Look no further, you just found it! I feel blessed to have found a doctor that I truly trust and will continue to be a loyal client of his for many years to come!”

Can You Order Your Own Blood Tests In Florida?
In Florida, you’re allowed to order your own blood tests without a doctor’s prescription. Florida is one of the states that allow direct access testing (DAT), so you can choose and purchase lab tests directly from licensed laboratories. Some labs offer online portals where you can select tests, schedule appointments, and receive results. It's convenient for monitoring your health or checking specific concerns, but your physician is more qualified to interpret the blood testing lab results and guide your follow-up care.
What Does A Full Blood Test Include?
A full blood test, is usually called a complete blood panel, and includes tests to assess overall health and identify potential health issues:
- Complete Blood Count (CBC): Measures red blood cells, white blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and platelets to evaluate potential conditions like anemia, infection, or clotting disorders.
- Metabolic Panel: Includes tests for blood glucose, electrolytes, and kidney and liver function to assess organ health and metabolic status.
- Lipid Panel: Measures cholesterol levels, including HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides, to determine cardiovascular health.
- Thyroid Function Tests: Evaluates thyroid hormone levels for thyroid disorders.
- Nutrient Levels: Tests for deficiencies in iron, vitamin D, vitamin B12, or folate.
- Markers of Inflammation: May include C-reactive protein (CRP) or erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) to detect inflammation in the body.
Depending on your health concerns, additional tests like hormone levels, kidney or liver enzyme markers, or specific disease screenings might be included
What Problems Can a Full Blood Count Detect?
A full blood count (FBC), also known as a complete blood count (CBC), a first step in identifying underlying health problems. Follow-up tests may be required for a more specific diagnosis. It can identify:
Anemia: Low red blood cell count or hemoglobin levels, often caused by iron deficiency, vitamin deficiencies, or chronic diseases.
Infections: Elevated white blood cell count could indicate bacterial, or viral infections.
Blood Clotting Disorders: Abnormal platelet counts can signal clotting problems, like thrombocytopenia or thrombocytosis.
Inflammatory or Autoimmune Conditions: Changes in white blood cell types may suggest conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or lupus.
Leukemia or Other Blood Cancers: Unusual increases or decreases in white blood cells might be a sign of blood cancers.
Nutritional Deficiencies: Abnormal red blood cell size or count may point to iron, vitamin B12, or folate deficiencies
Dehydration: Elevated hematocrit levels can show dehydration.
What Is RDW And What Does It Mean When RDW Is High?
RDW, or Red Cell Distribution Width, is a measurement included in a CBC blood test that shows the variation in the size of your red blood cells. A normal RDW indicates that your red blood cells are relatively uniform in size, while a high RDW means there is a greater variation in cell size, known as anisocytosis.
A high RDW can indicate nutritional deficiencies, caused by low levels of iron, vitamin B12, or folate. Certain types of anemia, including iron deficiency anemia or pernicious anemia, result in a high RDW. Chronic liver or kidney disease, and chronic inflammation can lead to high RDW levels. Blood loss or transfusions can cause size variation due to the presence of both new and old red blood cells. High RDW is evaluated with blood parameters to determine the underlying cause.
How Often Should You Get Blood Work Done?
A full panel of bloodwork is recommended once a year or every 3 to 6 months, depending on your health status and when you will be getting a health assessment in Sarasota, FL. An annual blood test detects potential health concerns early. Those with chronic conditions, like diabetes, high cholesterol, or thyroid issues, might need more frequent testing to manage their condition. If you’re on specific medications or experiencing new symptoms you might need to be tested more often. Your physician can guide you on the appropriate schedule based on your health needs.
