A Nurse Practitioner-Led Practice Focused on Metabolic Health & Access
Where your health & well-being are our top priorites
At Willow Tree Functional Medicine, our care is led by a licensed Nurse Practitioner with a mission to make modern, preventative, and personalized healthcare accessible. Our practice is built around two core services: a structured Metabolic Health Program designed for long-term improvement, and Telehealth Urgent Care that delivers same-day medical access when you need it most.
We believe healthcare should be proactive, clinically sound, and designed around real life—not long waits or fragmented care.

A Clinical Path Built Around Metabolic Health & Early Intervention
Through decades of frontline medical work, Amanda consistently saw patients struggling with preventable chronic conditions and limited access to timely care.

-
A structured Metabolic Health Program focused on sustainable outcomes
-
Telehealth Urgent Care for same-day evaluation of common, non-emergency conditions
Her training in functional medicine informs her clinical perspective, but the foundation of the practice remains metabolic health and accessible medical care, delivered within clearly defined boundaries.
