Dr. Faisal M. Fakih

Dr. Faisal M Fakih is a dually board-certified, Osteopathic physician, with board certifications in both Internal Medicine and Sleep Medicine. He also has a certification in the practice of Functional Medicine practitioner through the Institute for Functional Medicine.

He received his undergraduate degree in biology at Drexel University in Philadelphia, then went on to complete his medical training at the Lake Erie Collage of Osteopathic Medicine in Bradenton, FL.

He then went on to complete his residency in Internal Medicine at Doctors Hospital in Columbus, OH, which was then followed by a Sleep Medicine fellowship at Larkin Community Hospital in Miami, FL. Since the completion of his medical training, Dr. Fakih has practiced in multiple clinical settings including acute inpatient care as a hospitalist, clinical research as a physician investigator, and as an outpatient physician specializing in sleep disorders.

Throughout all his education, training, and clinical work experience, Dr. Fakih realized that “traditional medicine” lacked an emphasis on lifestyle, nutrition, and overall wellbeing, as a means to achieve health and longevity.

It was this that motivated him to pursue further education in Functional Medicine and become an IFM-certified practitioner. As a result, Dr. Fakih has the same capacity to diagnose and treat a wide range of diseases like most classically trained physicians, however his emphasis on health optimization as a means for true disease prevention and longevity, sets him apart.
