Meg McElroy MS, PA-C, IFMCP
Meg McElroy is a board-certified Physician Assistant, with more than a decade of experience as a patient and practitioner of functional/integrative medicine. Her approach is focused on being a health detective, providing thorough patient education, and a “less-is-more” approach (less testing, less supplements/pills) – what she terms “practical medicine”. She is not a fan of excessive use of supplements and dogmatic diets, which often cause overwhelm and may inhibit healing. Functional medicine is not a quick fix, but she never gives up on finding ways to help people feel better!
