> ABOUT DR. BARONIA-WHITE

I pursued a career in medicine because I wanted to help people discover their best health.

I started my practice like all physicians do — wanting to change lives and help people find their best health. Not long into my career as a doctor, I discovered that there were limitations on how I could work with patients. The time constraints on my interactions and enormous amount of ‘busy’ paperwork left me feeling frustrated. I knew that lifestyle changes can help prevent and manage chronic conditions, but that meant taking the time to partner with patients which I lacked in traditional practice. The practice of Lifestyle Medicine is the perfect complement to the care patients get from their primary care and specialty doctors. Your health is transformed and you feel better about it! Whether you need to be on medications or not, I strongly believe that lifestyle should be the foundation to health.

I wanted something different. Something better. And my patients did too.
