Raphael Kellman, MD, graduate of Albert Einstein College of Medicine, has been at the forefront of functional medicine. Inspired by his study of the philosophy of science as an undergraduate, Dr. Kellman has a broad and unique view of health and wellness. His understanding of functional and holistic medicine goes beyond many other practitioners in this space, as his approach is focused on the holistic unity of nature, as well as the health of humans on multiple dimensions, not just physical.
He pioneered a groundbreaking brand of medicine and healing called “Microbiome Medicine.” Dr. Kellman was the first doctor to recognize the profound importance of the microbiome and its link to all aspects of human health. Research and conventional medicine is only now catching up to this, however Dr. Kellman has been focused on the microbiome as a root cause of many chronic diseases, as well as a crucial factor in the reversal of these conditions, for many years.
