Who We Are and What We Do

At the Marcus Institute of Health, we diagnose and treat conditions—such as chronic pain, autoimmune disorders, metabolic dysfunction, and hormone imbalances—that negatively impact your quality of life. Many of our patients arrive after years of searching for answers, feeling dismissed, or being told that “everything looks normal,” even when they know something isn’t right.

Here, you’ll find a medical team that listens to you: your story, your symptoms, and your health goals. Your concerns are met with curiosity and compassion, not quick conclusions. Using advanced diagnostic tools, precision therapies, and a truly integrative approach, we uncover the root causes of illness to help you move from frustration to understanding—and from temporary relief to lasting wellness.

Who We Are

Launched in 2019 through a grant from The Marcus Foundation, the Marcus Institute of Integrative Health was created to blend scientific rigor with a deeply personalized, whole-person approach to care. This approach not only improves patient experiences—it improves outcomes.

Part of Florida Atlantic University's Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine, the Institute has become a hub for advanced integrative medical treatment, research, and education under the leadership of Director Branson J. Collins, M.D., FAAMFM, ABAARM, a triple board-certified anesthesiologist, pain medicine specialist, and anti-aging physician.

Our team combines precision diagnostics, evidence-based therapies, and regenerative treatments to help patients achieve long-term wellness. Whether you visit us in Boca Raton or connect through telemedicine, you’ll receive the same personalized, world-class care.

Our Approach to Integrative Health

Integrative health takes a whole-person approach to care—focusing on your overall well-being, not just a set of symptoms or one diagnosis. It combines the best of conventional medical testing and intervention with proven, evidence-based complementary therapies designed to help you reach your personal wellness goals.

Integrative health recognizes that physical factors, emotional well-being, and lifestyle all play a role in how you feel. We focus on identifying and treating the root causes of illness rather than managing symptoms. Patients may also be familiar with the term “functional medicine,” though not every functional medicine practice follows the same rigorous standards of care.

At the Marcus Institute, your care may include advanced diagnostic testing, nutrition and hormone support, regenerative treatments, and mind-body strategies: all personalized to your unique biology and life circumstances. Every recommendation is grounded in science, delivered with compassion, and designed to help you achieve lasting health, not just temporary relief.

What to Expect as a Patient

Your experience at the Marcus Institute begins with a conversation, not a checklist. 

Our providers take the time to listen, to ask questions, and to uncover what’s truly driving your symptoms. During your initial consultation, we’ll review your health history, explore your concerns, and begin to map out a plan that fits your body and your lifestyle.

Using advanced lab testing, genetic and metabolic testing, and state-of-the-art ultrasound imaging, we identify what’s driving your symptoms and create a personalized path forward. You’ll receive a personalized treatment plan that may include regenerative injections, hormone or metabolic optimization, nutritional guidance, or other precision therapies.

This integrative model bridges traditional and functional medicine to address a wide range of health concerns, such as:

• Hormone imbalances
• Chronic fatigue
• Injury recovery
• Autoimmune disease
• Post-traumatic stress disorder

Our goal is to help every patient move beyond symptom management toward lasting vitality.
