Received a dermaplanning facial for the first time with Merielle and it was amazing! My skin felt sooo smooth afterwards and all of the staff was very friendly and knowledgeable

Not Today

This place is a joke. Chris has a very limited knowledge and the only thing she cares about is how to take your money. I've never seen such an unprofessional "doctor" in my entire life. Avoid by any means.

Chris Anne and AK Functional Medicine team, I was delighted with my appointment with you yesterday. The entire experience from the time I stepped in the door was so incredibly refreshing and personal. I completely forgot that I was there for a medical assessment.

My health has steadily improved after Chris Anne Bennett’s very good diagnosis skills, working with other doctors, and lifestyle changes. I have several difficult to treat conditions. Chris Anne Bennett, Dr Nichelle Renk and Dr Ezequiel Lagos found out what it is I have and finally things make sense. Bottom line Chris Anne has helped me by finding out what’ wrong and the whole team helped me through difficult times very compassionately. I am follow the recommendations and am much healthier. Thank you Chris Anne and the whole team you have gone over and above what I expected! It feels good to start feeling healthy!

Excellent care provided by Chis Anne Bennett. She takes the time to listen to you and make sure she understands all your health concerns. If you are tired of being a name on a file and herded through a medical office in record time then go to Alaska Functional Medicine.

Well-rounded approach to medicine and aesthetics. All service providers do their research and approach their craft with knowledge and passion. The facials and spa services will make you feel rejuvenated and youthful. The medical side will leave you feeling hopeful and revitalized, especially if traditional medicine has left you disappointed. Gotta check this place out! :)

I've been seeing Chris for the past 3 years and I cannot express my gratitude for such an amazing and caring staff. She's extremely knowledgeable, eager to help and absolutely LGBT+ Friendly. I've recommended many of my friends to her, as I will absolutely continue to do. Thank you for helping me get my life back on track (and all the amazing gluten and soy free breads ya'll continue to hook me up with) :) #alwayspleased

Chris Anne is amazing. She listens to you and works with you. You can tell she truly cares about her patients and their heath. She is knowledgeable, yet willing to think outside the box to make sure you get to feeling your best. She works from a functional medicine approach working with compounding perscriptions if you need it which is hard to find. I highly recommend this clinic.

Chris Ann was the first provider that took my symptoms and complaints seriously. I had seen a PA, NP, a naturopath and 5 physicians including 2 specialists who all claimed ,"You are fine". You know, as long as you aren't sick or dying, you are "fine", right? One even tried to refer me for mental health. In contrast, after just 1initial appointment, Chris Ann nailed the diagnosis and helped me on my way to optimal wellness. She wants you to look and feel your best. She takes her time with you and really cares. I was in her office for a full hour on my first visit. (The one star rater had a problem with the long waits but I'm glad to wait if it means I am going to get a lot of attention from her. I have waited much longer in other offices only to get 5 minutes with the doc.) If you have urgent needs, go to the ER or a doc in the box. If you want to look 10 years younger, feel 10 years younger, find the root causes for your problems-not just patch them with a never ending cycle of pharmaceuticals, go see Chris Ann.

Very nice lady! Knowledgeable and caring!

Chris Anne is friendly, she listens, and you will get better. This clinic is the only one in Anchorage currently that combines adjunctive and holistic types of therapy with traditional western medical thought. They are sharp, effective and open minded to new strategies for treating common ailments. I could not be more pleased to be a patient here, and look forward to my next visit.

Chris Anne MacDonald is very knowledgeable, thorough, friendly, and helpful.She will go out of her way to help you with what you need. I needed Botox injections for nerve issues (blepherospasms) with my eyes and even though she hadn't used Botox for that issue before, she did the injections and it worked like a charm. Her technique is awesome and I could barely feel the injections at all. I highly recommend her to anyone.

I love this place... I really do... I love the people... but my GP Chris Anne Bennet, who I'm friends with on facebook, has been posting a lot of anti-vaccine pseudoscience. Because of this I'm changing doctors and can't in good conscience say this is a good place to come. If your GP ignores science, they, no matter how nice they are, are a threat to your health. It hurts to write this... it really does. Im sorry.

not happy at all with my experience here... I went to Chris Anne on a recommendation from a friend. First visitation good, got set up for some blood work and had high hopes of getting things figured out. Went back for my follow up a week later. She literally walked in, said she didn't believe my results from the blood test, set me up to redo it and left. So a week later I got back, my blood results were the same as the week before. She said she didn't know how to treat me (low test and barely above normally blood thickness) and said she was going to have another DR call me to deal with it. I never heard from another Dr, I missed hours of work for these visits, paid $30 each time for copay and then I get 2 bills in the mail equal to $400 for the bloodwork, when I didnt even need the second test to begin with. So now this ordeal is costing me well over $600 and I still have not been treated. Definitely do not recommend anyone going here.

Everyone was very professional and knowledgeable. I had all my questions answered and they were very willing to accommodate my work schedule. Highly Recommend.

Tami Vania

I have had excellent service from all members of the staff. The office is beautiful and welcoming. Merielle is knowledgeable in the services provided and it is relaxing to be in her care. I appreciate the level of attention given during an appointment.

Pam Skogstad

The staff at Alaska Functional Medicine is amazing! Chris Anne takes the time to listen and evaluate, working on a holistic approach to preventative medicine and care. The Spa with excellent products is a great pairing for Alaska Functional Medicine, I would highly recommend Alaska Functional Medicine.

Jennifer Christensen

I truly beleive that Chris Anne helped save my life. If not from death, than from a terrible misdiagnosis. She was able to help identify that I had metal poisioning within the first first fews and provided treatment that helped get my brain, body and life back. I am so incredibly grateful for the experience. It fundamentaly changed the way I view my the medical system and my health. Please consider Chris Anne to help get to the root of the problem.
