How Functional Medicine Transformed My Family’s Health Journey: From Eczema to Parkinson’s Support
Sue Milcsik – Fusion IFM Google Review – November 2, 2024
“In 2019, after exhausting every traditional medical option—including visits to our allergist, dermatologist, and primary care physician—I took my 14-year-old daughter to see Dr. Jessica Miller at Fusion Integrative and Functional Medicine in Marlboro. My daughter’s “head-to-toe” eczema left her physically and mentally in distress, but Dr. Miller’s expertise and holistic approach made all the difference.
Dr. Miller began with a comprehensive history and engaged my daughter directly, ensuring her thoughts and feelings were heard. She used clear, visual language to explain potential triggers, ordered thorough lab work, and guided us through a challenging but necessary dietary change. Identifying food allergens and incorporating specific dietary supplements provided significant relief, even though my daughter’s flare-ups persisted due to her year-round swimming.
It was Dr. Miller’s insight that led us to seek further specialist care, and her collaboration with Dr. Jason Miller, a well-known dermatologist, helped us finally understand and address the triggers behind my daughter’s eczema. Dr. Miller’s dedication to treating the root causes and willingness to seek additional support were invaluable.
Her impact didn’t end there. In 2022, my 22-year-old son, who had struggled with ongoing health issues, was initially skeptical about functional medicine. Yet, after meeting with Dr. Miller, he was impressed: “She connected the biology and the systems; it made sense.” He continues to work with her, making diet changes and seeing a specialist she recommended.
Most recently, in July 2024, my husband was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease. The first person I thought of for guidance was Dr. Jessica Miller. As a medical doctor with a background in Physiology and expertise in functional medicine, she gave my husband a comprehensive evaluation. Her approach included lab tests that considered both biological and environmental factors—crucial for a lifelong firefighter. Dr. Miller’s proactive care and compassion address the whole person, not just their symptoms.
Our family’s journey with Fusion Integrative and Functional Medicine has been life-changing, and I’m endlessly grateful for the support and expertise of Dr. Miller and her team.”
