Dr. Stephanie Peterson is a board-certified family physician who specializes in direct primary care and integrative medicine. In March 2020, she opened her own clinic after transitioning from a traditional insurance-based model, creating the time and space to provide more personalized, patient-centered care.
Inspired by her work with patients living with chronic and complex illnesses, including Lyme disease, Dr. Peterson pursued advanced training through ILADS and other integrative medicine programs. Her clinical interests and expertise include ozone therapy, neural therapy, medical acupuncture, thermography, and Autonomic Response Testing (A.R.T.).[cut]
Dr. Peterson’s approach centers on identifying and addressing potential root contributors to illness while recognizing the interconnected roles of the body, immune system, mind-body balance, environmental toxicities, and past trauma. She combines evidence-based medicine with integrative therapies to develop individualized care plans that support long-term healing and overall well-being.
