My Story

This multidisciplinary foundation allows her to bridge modern diagnostics with holistic strategies that address the true root causes of illness. Before becoming a physician, Dr. Spring spent nearly 20 years as a Clinical Laboratory Scientist, leading and supervising hospital laboratories across the U.S. This strong diagnostic background deepens her ability to interpret lab results and design individualized, data-informed care plans.
