Meet Dr. Donna Ficaro
Personalized Functional Medicine for Hormone Balance, Metabolic Health & Lasting Wellness
I’m Dr. Donna Ficaro, and I work with patients who want more than a quick fix for their symptoms. My approach to functional medicine focuses on understanding the bigger picture – how hormones, metabolism, nutrition, lifestyle, and other factors may be influencing how you feel.
Why I Practice Functional Medicine
I believe you deserve more than a quick fix.
For more than three decades, I’ve worked with patients who knew something wasn’t right but often felt they weren’t getting the answers they needed. Over the years, I came to recognize how important it is to look beyond individual symptoms and understand the patterns and connections that can influence how a person feels.
That perspective shaped the way I practice today. I take the time to understand your health history, your concerns, and your goals—and to look at how hormones, metabolism, nutrition, lifestyle, and other factors may be working together.
My goal is not simply to address what you’re feeling today, but to help you better understand your health and create a personalized path forward.
Experience You Can Trust
With decades of clinical experience in nutrition, pain management, orthopedics, acupuncture, brain health, and functional medicine, Dr. Ficaro brings a broad, integrative perspective to each patient’s health journey. As a Chiropractic Physician and Licensed Dietitian Nutritionist, I look beyond individual symptoms to understand how the different aspects of your health may be connected—and how they may influence the way you feel and function.

A Personalized Approach to Your Health
Your health is personal — and your care should be, too. I take the time to understand your health history, symptoms, goals, and the factors that may be affecting how you feel.
Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all protocol, I use your individual history and appropriate testing to help identify patterns and develop a personalized plan designed around your needs.
Understand the Whole Picture
Personalized Care
Evidence-Informed Testing
Ongoing Support
I look beyond individual symptoms to understand how your health history, hormones, metabolism, nutrition, and lifestyle may be connected.
Your care plan is built around your unique health history, goals, needs, and priorities — not a one-size-fits-all protocol.
When appropriate, testing can provide additional insight into patterns that may be contributing to how you feel.
Your plan can evolve as your health changes. We’ll focus on practical steps that support meaningful, lasting progress.
A Whole-Person Perspective
My approach brings together what I’ve learned across decades of clinical practice to help you understand the bigger picture of your health—not simply manage one symptom at a time.
I bring that broader perspective to every patient relationship—combining my clinical experience with a personalized approach designed around where you are today and where you want to go.
