A Life Outside Medicine
Dr. Azizian’s journey towards functional medicine was inspired by a desire for a more personalized approach to patient care, focusing on a healthy diet, active lifestyle, and stress reduction. This approach is deeply rooted in the latest research in gut microbiome, genetics, usage of biomarkers, appropriate supplementation, and more.
She has a special interest in early prevention of chronic diseases and longevity/anti-aging supported by the latest studies. Her skin clinic, Mindful Medical Care in Falmouth, Massachusetts, focuses on skin conditions and skin cancer.
Combining her expertise in dealing with surgical conditions with skin cancer treatment, rashes, and functional medicine, Dr. Azizian offers a truly holistic approach to health. She treats patients in person at her clinic and via tele-visits.
Originally from Armenia, Dr. Azizian comes from a family of physicians and was inspired by her grandfather, a trauma surgeon during World War II. She immigrated to the United States as a teenager in 1990 and has resided in and enjoyed the beauty of Cape Cod, MA since 2013.
In 2019, she formed a non-profit 501(c)3 organization, MedArmeniaPhilanthropy, dedicated to helping hospitals in her native Armenia. During the 2020 war involving Armenian land, Dr. Azizian volunteered as a trauma surgeon at the National Burn Unit in Armenia, where she continues to work closely.
Dr. Azizian completed her undergraduate education at Clark University, attended the University of Vermont College of Medicine, and completed her residency in General Surgery at Fletcher Allen Hospital at University of Vermont.

What is Mindful Medical Functional Clinic ?
Mindful Medical Functional Clinic is a telemedicine clinic founded by a physician and dedicated to functional medicine approach. It is a part of Mindful Medical Care PC, our clinic in Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
Who can use Mindful Medical Functional Clinic services?
Our clinic is for the residents of Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont, reflecting the states where our providers are licensed. We are planning to expand to more states in the future.
These services are for adults who are at least 18 years of age. We do not see children.
Can Mindful Medical Functional Clinic guarantee that my medical issue will be cured?
While we strive for the best possible outcomes, it is important to know that results vary for each individual. We are committed to providing the highest standard of care in our recommendations for testing, and treatment, including lifestyle changes and supplements.
Just like in conventional medicine approach, there is, unfortunately, a never guaranteed result of a complete cure or improvement.
What can I learn during my 15 min consultation with the physician?
Whether you are booking a short 15-min “Get to Know You” Consultation with a Personalized Health Report or a 60-min consultation, you will be prompted to register in our HIPAA protected platform first.
All our visits are televisits via HIPAA protected zoom link. We use a platform called GetHealthie.com (link). Although it is helpful to download GetHealthie app (link), it is not necessary. The platform can be accessed from desktops, laptops, smart phones and tablets. Please have your camera and microphone on for televisits.
Please note that you need to make an account to access this HIPAA protected platform.
Can I submit my medical records for an Mindful Medical Functional Clinic provider to review?
The purpose of our 15-min consultation and a Personalized Health Report is to answer any questions regarding functional medicine approach and our clinic, and help steer you in the right direction in terms of your health needs. Some general recommendations will be made, but this short visit is not to be used for an in-depth medical intake / review / recommendations and treatment.
What if I am interested in a specific test, and want to forgo the initial consultation?
Prior to your 60-minute initial appointment it is highly recommended that you submit your previous pertinent lab results through our HIPAA protected platform GetHealthie.com prior to your initial consultation. You will be prompted to make an account and fill out both clinical (medications, allergies, etc) and non-clinical (consents, privacy policy) forms. After you have registered, please send your medical paperwork via Healthie only. Please do not use any other emails to send your private medical information to. Please note the review of previous medical records only applies to a 60-min initial visit, and it is not included in a 15-minute initial appointment.
How do I get the test kit?
You may order one of our featured TEST packages. All our packages come with a 60-min post-test consultation / results review with our board-certified physicians.
Do you have other tests, aside from the ones that are featured in your packages?
We use CLIA-certified laboratories through our partner, RUPA HEALTH. Once you purchase a test, you will get an email from RUPA HEALTH within 12-24 hours confirming the shipment of the test kit.
As our partner, RUPA HEALTH, provides customer support if you have any questions pertaining to the test, how to do it, where to ship it, etc.
Do I need a blood draw for the test?
We have access to hundreds of labs. Please contact us at info@ilabmd.com if you are interested in a specific test.
How long do lab results take?
All the tests that we feature in our TEST packages do not require blood draw. They require a blood spot fingerstick or urine or stool samples.
However, we have access to hundredths of labs (not included in our featured test packages), and some of them require a blood draw. RUPA HEALTH finds a phlebotomist near you or arranges a mobile phlebotomy. There is a separate charge ($30-100) per phlebotomy visit depending on location.
What happens after I receive my lab results?
Depending on the type and complexity of the lab test, the results typically take 2-4 weeks. When you are purchasing a test package, the system will not let you book a post-test consultation. Once your results are in, you will receive an email with a link to book a post-test 60-min review consultation with our physician.
Do I need a follow-up visit after the initial consultation?
We include a post-test consultation for every test we offer. We base our medical recommendations, including supplements and lifestyle changes, based on your medical history and test results.
Payments and insurances
Since every treatment is individualized, the number of subsequent sessions varies, as well as the interval in between them. In general, based on a functional medicine approach, we provide recommendations, but our patients are the ones to decide whether to follow them. During the initial session, the number of follow-up sessions and their frequency is decided mutually by the patient and the provider.
Supplements
We are happy to provide you with a superbill for our services. While some of our labs are partially covered by Medicare, most of them are not. We do not guarantee reimbursement, and we do not work with insurance companies.
The client is responsible for all payments for consultation and testing (most of them are bundled) at the time of purchase.

The Treatment Course consists of one (usually initial) 60-min visit and 5 follow-up 30-min sessions, and it is discounted at $1500
