Dr. Elisa J. Mercuro, DO

Dr. Elisa Mercuro DO | My StoryI am a board certified family physician that woke up one day, looked at my schedule and realized that I was dissatisfied with the care I was delivering. As a primary care physician my schedule was filled with chronic disease patients that in reality I was not curing or promoting wellness. I was using all of the pharmaceutical tools I had been taught to try to mitigate and manage the downstream effects of chronic disease but I was not promoting health.On the advice of a colleague and mentor I attended a functional medicine conference and I was brought to tears as I learned there was a whole other way of looking at disease. I attended a osteopathic medical school, and one of the pillars of osteopathic medicine is that the body has an ability to heal itself and the job of the physician is to facilitate that. Functional medicine is the perfect pairing with osteopathy. Functional medicine is a systems biology approach to identifying clinical imbalances and …treating these upstream causes of dysfunction. Finding this congruency in my personal and medical belief system and the way I practiced medicine changed my career, my own health, the health of my family as well as many of my patients. My personal mission is to share what I have learned about the foundations of optimizing health to impact the health care delivery system.
