ABOUT US
Be Well Natural Medicine is a well-established and reputable cash-based functional medicine clinic seeking a Nurse Practitioner with experience in functional medicine to join our group practice.
Our approach blends advanced functional lab testing, clinical applications of cutting-edge research and the wisdom of functional and naturopathic medicine to address patients' health on an individualized, root-cause level. We specialize in women’s health from fertility to menopause (over 80% of our patients are female), gastrointestinal dysfunction and disease, metabolic wellness, dermatological conditions, autoimmune disorders, endocrine imbalances, and mental-emotional wellness.
We’re looking for practitioners who thrive on big-picture problem solving, uncovering connections, and addressing root causes—going far beyond band-aid solutions to create meaningful, lasting health outcomes for patients.
We foster long-term partnerships with our patients, empowering them with knowledge and supporting their journey beyond resolved symptoms into true preventative wellness. Our practice essentially functions like "specialists," focusing on functional medicine modalities and philosophy, while referring patients to local Primary Care Providers or other specialists as necessary.
If this type of integrative, patient-centered practice aligns with your vision, or if you’re seeking an alternative to the fast-paced insurance model, we think you’ll love working here.
