Welcome to the Kellman Wellness Center. We’ve put together some of the questions we hear the most from prospective patients to help you get to know us, and how we work. If you have additional questions, please call us at 212-717-1118 and speak to one of our patient representatives.
What is Integrative and Functional Medicine?
Functional medicine is a science-based health care approach to assess, prevent and treat complex chronic disease. Dr. Kellman was one of the first doctors to identify the microbiome, and gut health, as a primary component in overall health and wellness. Functional medicine evaluates the body as a whole with special attention to the relationship of one body system to another and the bacterial and nutrient imbalances, toxic overload and other barriers that may adversely affect these relationships.
Most illness is chronic and almost always preceded by a lengthy period of declining function in one or more of the body’s systems. Functional medicine is a new clinical model that replaces outdated and ineffective acute-care models of health care to return patients to wellness.
The Kellman Wellness Center is known worldwide for its superior testing model. With our groundbreaking testing, we are able to find the deepest root causes of your illness. From there, we create a treatment plan which might consist of IV Vitamins, natural compounds, supplements and our advanced technology treatments.
Are You Accepting New Patients?
Yes, Dr. Raphael Kellman is accepting new patients.
How Can I Schedule An Appointment?
Please call us at 212-717-1118 and one of our patient representatives can answer your questions and schedule your appointment.

Can a Non-Patient Schedule Magnesphere and Novothor Appointments?
Yes. These therapeutic treatments are available to anyone, regardless of whether you are a patient of our practice. Learn more about Magnesphere and Novothor.
Can a Non-Patient Schedule an IV Treatment?
At this time, our IV Center is available to existing patients of our practice. We conduct extensive testing to fully understand exactly what compounds and nutrients would be the most beneficial to you. Microbiome Diet patients will receive individualized weight loss plans which might include IV Therapy.
Where are you Located?
We’re at 7 West 45th Street in Manhattan, just west of Fifth Avenue. We’re steps away from Grand Central Station, Times Square and Bryant Park.
Do I Need to Bring My Health Records?
If you have any recent (within the past three months) test results from blood tests or other relevant tests, please bring them to your first appointment so that we can add that to your record. You can also email your tests to us at info@kellmancenter.com.
Do You Accept Insurance?
The Kellman Wellness Center is an out-of-network practice. If you have out-of-network benefits, we can submit a claim on your behalf. Please contact your plan to determine your benefits, or to inquire about your remaining deductible, if any. Additionally, your insurance plan might cover certain testing and procedures; we can also submit those claims to your insurance carrier. Please call our office at 212-717-1118 for more details, and to schedule your appointment.
Do you accept Care Credit?
Yes! We accept Care Credit in addition to traditional credit cards. Care Credit is a credit card used for non-reimbursable medical expenditures. They offer excellent terms and no annual fee. Quick apply here (check “Other” for category): https://www.carecredit.com/apply/
What If I Don’t Live Near New York?
We do offer telephone appointments for patients outside the New York area. Many patients arrange to come for at least their initial appointment in person. We have patients who travel from around the world to visit us. (Any reason to visit New York is always a great idea!)
Is There a Cancellation Fee?
Patients who miss an appointment and do not cancel or reschedule with 24 hours advance notice will be charged a no-show fee.
How Can I Get My Prescriptions Refilled?
Please call us at 212-717-1118 to request a prescription refill. If you have not been seen in over six months, please schedule a follow-up appointment so that we can provide continuous care as well as oversee (and refill) any prescriptions.
