Bert Atienza

Medical Doctor/Physician

Dr. Atienza began his medical career by enlisting in the United States Army Medical Corps at 17 years of age.  Serving a total of 12 years as a Medical Laboratory Specialist and Combat Field Medic.  He is trained in Family Medicine with additional training in both Sports Medicine and Functional Medicine.  Bert received his undergraduate degree in Biological Anthropology at The University of Maryland, College Park, and attended medical school at St. Matthew’s University School of Medicine.

More specific to Functional Medicine, he is Certified in Wellness Coaching through Maryland University of Integrative Health and Certified in Biological Hormone Therapy by the Academy of Preventive and Innovative Medicine by Worldlink Medical—a recognized resource for the latest medical treatments in the prevention of chronic disease, with a hormone foundation.

Philosophy of Care:

He treats most conditions with a firm understanding and belief that the body has a strong capacity to heal itself but with prevention being the key to healthy aging.  A detailed history and physical exam (still very much possible via Telemedicine) is the starting foundation for coming up with a precise and client-specific treatment plan.
