Dr. Gelane Gemechisa

I am a board-certified Family Medicine physician and certified life coach, treating patients with a variety of conditions including hormone dysfunction, autoimmune disease, irritable bowel syndrome, and degenerative musculoskeletal disorders. I employ an approach to understanding both symptoms and the experience of the symptoms that allows for a dynamic partnership to help restore wellness to the whole being.

To begin your return to well-being, together, we will first gain a clear understanding of your current state of health including the use of cutting-edge diagnostics to determine the root of the problem. Just as one’s health does not deteriorate overnight; a true reversal of the disease process will also take time. However, it truly is better to do what is meaningful rather than what is expedient, especially when it comes to health.  

I am thrilled to be part of your journey toward restored well-being, and I look forward to working together to bring about your most robust, thriving health!

Surpassed my expectations by leaps and bounds!

Dr. G was great. This is my second time working with an integrative medical practitioner and the first time with DCIM and Dr. G. My experience with Dr. G surpassed my expectations by leaps and bounds. She asked probing questions, listened to my feedback and did not rush through my appointment. I look forward to working with Dr G and DCIM.
