My Philosophy
The path to healing is different for everyone, but I believe for each of us it requires more than prescriptions, supplements or dietary changes. I think true healing also requires appreciating our resilience, trusting our bodies, and finding a sense of joy within ourselves. To heal, we must first become whole, which requires a deep look inside our bodies, minds and hearts. Medicine is so much more than medication. It is the careful synthesis of science, skill and compassion.
After all, human beings are complicated, so why should treatments be universal? My goal is to explore each patient’s unique physical, emotional and spiritual needs, and understand how those needs affect their health and wellbeing. Maybe they’ve been to 15 different doctors before they come see me, and keep getting told the same thing: “You are fine.” But their gut says otherwise.
I want every patient to feel heard—to feel supported and cared for, and know they are in a safe space. Together, we will discover the small adjustments that can make a big difference.
The beauty of working together from a functional and integrative medicine
approach is that your healing journey is tailored specifically to you
First, we establish care with an initial in-office appointment. This appointment takes about 90 minutes, billed at the hourly rate. During this time, we discuss your health concerns, health history, goals for our work together, current diet and lifestyle, and decide which tests to order. We want you to leave this appointment with strategies for improving your diet and lifestyle, but most prescription interventions will come once your test results are available. Our first follow-up appointment typically takes about an hour, depending on the number of tests we have to review, and should be scheduled anywhere from two to six weeks after our first appointment.
From there, we recommend additional follow-ups every four to eight weeks during the initial phase of treatment, so your plan can be adjusted if needed. These appointments are typically 30 minutes long, but we also offer 45- and 60-minute options. Once you feel better, you can check in as desired. We recommend an appointment at least once a year to get a comprehensive blood panel and make any necessary changes in maintenance supplements.
“Integrative medicine is a journey to better understand the patient’s mental, emotional and spiritual needs, and how those needs affect their physical health and wellness.”

“Dr. Nett strikes the balance I’ve been looking for in a healer: robust medical training, and a holistic point of view. The expertise to chase down complex solutions, and the wisdom to zoom out when simplicity is called for. She can see the forest from the trees. She listens.
I’ve worked with several functional providers, and Dr. Nett is the one I continue to refer to friends and family. After a distressing and confusing health journey, she helped me regain my health, and confidence in my resilience. The stunning baby on my lap is a testament to Dr. Nett’s work; I’m unbelievably fortunate to have found her.”
“Dr. Nett has single-handedly transformed my health. When I first became a patient of Dr. Nett, I struggled with digestive symptoms related to Crohn’s disease. Every other doctor told me we had exhausted the options. Dr. Nett’s incredible expertise and caring approach helped me see that my symptoms were in fact connected, and that there was SO much more that could be done for optimal health. Her personalized approach and evidence-based methodologies gave me hope. And that hope paid off. Since working with Dr. Nett, my health and wellbeing are in a completely different state. I am stronger, more resilient, nourished, and knowledgeable about what it takes to restore and stay healthy. I’m immensely grateful for Dr. Nett’s support during an acute time in my health, and for her continued support to keep me healthy now that I’ve recovered!”
“Dr. Nett and I worked together to heal my body on many levels. I was suffering from an autoimmune condition, heavy metal toxicity and amenorrhea. It was a slow and steady process—not the silver bullet quick fix of surgery or medications that seem to be the only tools in the tool boxes of conventional doctors. We have worked together for five years now, and I am healthier now than I have ever been. I am grateful for her practical application of cutting edge thinking in the field of functional medicine. It brings me great peace of mind to know that she is my doctor.”
“Dr. Amy Nett has helped me uncover the root causes of many annoying and debilitating symptoms that my Kaiser doctors have simply brushed off. Using a combination of nutritional supplements and medications, as well as lifestyle changes, I am much healthier and stronger than I was before we began collaborating together. Using targeted testing to discover a cause allows for a true plan of attack, and Dr. Nett’s sensitivity and broad depth of knowledge help to give peace of mind during the process. I am very grateful to have found her.”
“At 68 years old, my health and my energy are my greatest concerns. Fortunately, with Dr. Nett’s very capable care, I am in excellent health. Dr. Nett has helped increase my energy and eliminate my aches and pains with targeted nutritional supplements and lifestyle changes. Dr. Nett’s care has increased the quality of my life and she is the most thorough and knowledgeable doctor I have ever had the pleasure to work with. ”
“I am fortunate to have Amy Nett accompany me on my health journey. Our relationship is built on trust and mutual respect. I have never felt dismissed by her, only supported. Amy is a deep listener, highly intelligent, caring, and open to many modalities of healing. It is clearly evident she loves what she does and truly cares for her patients. I am grateful to have found Amy, who embodies and transmits health and healing.”
“Dr. Amy Nett is a creative problem solver who possesses all of the tools for complex autoimmune issues. She has always provided me with a calming, steady hand when finding solutions within a framework of natural supplementation, prescription medication, and modalities that emphasize finding inner calm and joy in order to truly heal.
We have run the medical gamut from hormone balancing to tick bites and everything in between. I value her accessibility in acute situations, as well as her perceptive insight during our routine follow up appointments.
Amy Nett is smart, personable, and caring. She has been a wonderful resource through this journey and I always look forward to our positive conversations about healing and life. ”
