Functional & Integrative Medicine Physician

The Physician at AIM for Wellbeing is a board-certified or board-eligible clinician with a primary care foundation and a deep commitment to functional and integrative medicine. This provider delivers comprehensive, root-cause-driven medical care as the clinical anchor of a multidisciplinary integrative team - working in true partnership with chiropractors, acupuncturists, dietitians, health coaches, massage therapists, Rolfers, and energy healers to produce whole-person care outcomes that conventional medicine alone cannot achieve.

The Physician brings clinical depth to the full spectrum of functional medicine diagnostics and therapeutics - from advanced laboratory interpretation and complex treatment planning to nutraceutical protocols, lifestyle medicine, and mind-body integration. This provider also serves as a clinical educator within the practice, participating in monthly interdisciplinary learning, mentoring learners, and contributing to AIM's research and quality improvement initiatives.
