“ Hello, I'm Dr. Hillary Bassett, an integrative medicine physician deeply committed to reshaping your health with passion and purpose. My journey began with a profound interest in nutrition and preventative medicine long before medical school. During my undergraduate years, I explored courses in alternative medicine and what is now the burgeoning field of Psychoneuroimmunology, laying the foundation for my integrative and personalized approach to medicine today. Initially drawn to Primary Care for its focus on prevention and comprehensive healthcare, I found myself at a crossroads during my medical school rotations. The reality of managing chronic conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure with medications left me feeling unfulfilled, prompting a last-minute decision to pursue Emergency Medicine for its excitement and the prospect of a balanced work-life dynamic.

However, post-residency training, the flaws in the healthcare system became painfully clear, particularly in the ER where patients with chronic health issues were left without the care they needed. It was a frustrating cycle of ruling out emergencies, prescribing medications, and witnessing patients navigate the medical system without finding answers. I longed to make more of a difference and develop meaningful relationships with my patients. Passionate and eager for change, I immersed myself in integrative medicine, wholeheartedly embracing its principles and practices. I am determined to bridge the gap between conventional medicine and holistic healing, addressing the root causes of health issues. My focus is on empowering individuals to take control of their health and well-being. I embrace and am fully committed to a personalized, patient-centered and partnership-based approach.

Welcome to The Heart of Wellness - a healthcare journey where my passion meets your purpose. I am here to partner with you to make a lasting impact on your health and wellness, one compassionate consultation at a time. ”
