I’m Chloe Pappas, a Physician Assistant-Certified (PA-C) with a Master of Medical Science (MMS), specializing in Functional Medicine (FMACP). I also have an extensive background in Emergency Medicine and completed one of the nation's top EM fellowship programs. It was a field I lived and loved deeply, but over time, I came to a difficult realization—most of the patients I treated were suffering from preventable conditions. The cycle of administering fluids, prescribing medications, and admitting patients for days, knowing that the right guidance could have kept them out of the hospital, became emotionally overwhelming.
