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!”

Sarasota Bioidentical Hormone Therapy FAQs
Who Can Benefit from Bioidentical Hormone Therapy?
If you want to regulate your hormone levels for increased vitality and achieve a better quality of life, receiving hormone replacement therapy at our Sarasota longevity health center may be a good option for your long-term health. Whether you’re coping with age-related changes or specific medical issues, HRT can help you achieve more balance and energy.
What Is The Difference Between HRT and Bio Identical HRT?
Traditional HRT uses synthetic hormones or those from animals that aren’t identical to those in your body, but they’re FDA-approved, regulated, and widely available. Bioidentical hormones match the ones in your body and are sourced from plants like soy or yams. Both types of HRT therapy reduce hormone imbalances.
How Much Does Bio-Identical Hormone Therapy Cost In Sarasota, FL?
The cost of bio-identical hormone therapy depends on your insurance coverage, the complexity and type of therapy, the cost of lab testing, and the HRT treatments involved.
What are the risks of bioidentical hormones?
When properly monitored by their physician, biomedical hormones are used safely by both men and women. The Cleveland Clinic reports that FDA-approved bioidentical hormones have passed safety testing, and other studies show that there has not been an increase in chronic diseases when BHRT is administered correctly. It's normal for some people to experience some side effects like fluid retention or mood changes when beginning hormone therapy, but these are manageable, and your dosage can be adjusted by your doctor.
Who is not a candidate for bioidentical hormones?
If you have a history of breast or endometrial cancer, or strokes, a functional medicine doctor will likely recommend that you avoid bioidentical hormone therapy. People with blood clotting disorders, active liver disease, or unexplained vaginal bleeding may be guided to other types of treatment due to their risk factors.
Does insurance cover bioidentical hormones?
Insurance coverage for bioidentical hormone therapy varies. So our attention can be placed on providing you with proper care. Reveal Vitality doesn’t accept insurance or file insurance claims. But you can ask us for an itemized invoice and submit it to your insurer for possible repayment.
Why am I gaining weight on bioidentical hormones?
Weight gain during bioidentical hormone therapy may occur due to temporary fluid retention, appetite changes, or when your metabolic system is adjusting. Your body may be finding its new rhythm, but a review of your hormone levels with your doctor can help to minimize these effects.
