Integrative holistic medicine is the art and science that addresses the “whole-person” to bring body functions to optimal performance.
A “whole-person” approach involves the ability of the physician to address multiple aspects of mind & body, lifestyle & nutrition, inflammation, infections, immune system, toxic burden, allergies, hormone balancing, and most importantly, the gut integrity. At LA Integrative Gastroenterology, we endorse such an innovative approach to digestive care.
At LA Integrative Gastroenterology & Nutrition, our approach is not just holistic but also integrative. We blend the best of Western medical and scientific research with the concept of whole-body relationships to optimize your health in Los Angeles

Dr. Rahbar's Approach to Medicine
Whole Person Approach to Digestive Care
Sibo & Related Microbiome as Biological Markers of Systematic Illness
Dr. Farshid Sam Rahbar and his team incorporate the best of Western medicine and scientific research with integrative and functional medicine to deliver a holistic approach to digestive care. Integrative medicine addresses all aspects of a patient’s wellness, working to heal the condition causing the symptoms instead of just relieving symptoms.
The whole-person approach allows Dr. Rahbar and his team to address a patient’s mind and body by considering their lifestyle and nutrition. They look for the cause of inflammation, infection, immune system dysfunction, allergies, hormonal issues, and gut integrity. This approach helps patients improve and enhance their overall health as digestive problems often cause symptoms throughout the body.

You will not find a more caring, compassionate, and smart doctor like Dr. Rahbar!! This man goes above & beyond for his patients. He truly is the greatest doctor I have every worked with in 10yrs of chronic illness. I feel so fortunate to have him as part of my complex care team. He is one of kind, and you will not meet another doctor like him in 2020 most don't practice medicine the way he does. He is a true gem and great gift to the medical community and the patients he serves!

I visited Dr. Rahbar after having several GI and non GI complications over the years. On my first visit I was surprised how attentive his staff and Dr. Rahbar were to my needs. My initial visit when on for 2 hours as Dr. Rahbar asked detailed questions about my medical and personal history. It spoke to his holistic approach to find deeper issues that were affecting me which no other doctor had asked before. Living overseas also draws on new complications and treatment options (medicine, visits, etc.), however, he has worked with telemedicine before covid (amazing). After several lab tests, I walked away with a newfound sense of relief and resolve to find my root cause for my issues. Highly recommended!

I’ve been working with Dr Rahbar for about a year now and my gut health has improved drastically. At the time of my first appointment, I had zero motility; now I’m able to go daily! I had a terrible case of SIBO, infection in my mouth that was going into my gut, and mold in my sinuses and my gut. No wonder I was having so many issues! I had been to countless doctors who only diagnosed me with IBS - and did very little testing. I had a colonoscopy and was tested for celiac, both showing negative results for anything. Dr Rahbar is truly the most knowledgeable, caring, helpful doctor I’ve ever met and I’m beyond blessed to be under his care!

I just wanted you to know how much I appreciate you. I have never, ever met a doctor who cared so deeply about his patients. You have been the only medical professional I have been able to reply on. Thank you for always making time for me, even if it means coming into work early or leaving late. I honestly don't know how I would have survived the last decade without you. Your warmth & kindness shines through & I can't imagine where I would be without you. Thank you Dr. Rahbar...for everything. View Letter
