Amy Matthews, VMD, PhD

Dr. Matthews grew up in a household that embraced all healing options, with an M.D. for a father and chronic illness in the family that caused them to explore all holistic options. Her own formal education echoes that early start. She went to the University of Pennsylvania on a full scholarship, excited to explore the wide breadth of Western scientific knowledge, and graduated with a veterinary degree as well as a PhD in Immunology. Her immunology thesis lab explored cancer vaccines, oral immune tolerance to prevent or treat autoimmune disease, and brain-specific immune responses – because immunology is just that interesting! After interning with a specialty clinic in NC for a year, and spending another year in general medicine, she realized that she longed for better options to support the health of her patients. This started her on a journey in holistic healing options that continues today. (Source)
