Stacy Ross, M.D. - Integrative Family Medicine

Dr. Stacy Ross is a family physician who believes that health involves the whole person – spirit, soul and body (holistic medical approach). Health is not the absence of disease, but the harmonious balance between spirit, mind, emotions, feelings and the body. Dr. Ross utilizes both conventional and complementary/alternative therapies (integrative medicine) in her practice.

“In the evaluation of a patient, I use a functional medicine approach which offers a different approach to patients with chronic and complex conditions. Functional medicine asks the question – what core imbalances in the spirit, mind and body occurred over a period of time to create a disease state, in order to restore those imbalances to achieve optimal health. In addition, this methodology evaluates the uniqueness of a patient - the uniqueness in his/her beliefs, genetic background, environment, past medical illnesses and symptoms in order to individualize therapy.”

Dr. Ross received her medical degree from Howard University College of Medicine twenty years ago. She completed her residency training at the University of Maryland in Baltimore and has worked for several private practices. She has been the Associate Director of the Prince Georges Hospital Family Practice Residency Program in Cheverly, Maryland. During the past several years, Dr. Ross has received additional training in nutrition and functional medicine.

Dr. Ross has several areas of interest which include women’s health, preventive medicine, nutrition, hormone balancing and the future development of an obesity program. Her passion is to evaluate patients with seemingly unrelated symptoms for which they may have seen numerous specialists in the past and investigate the interrelationships between the symptoms to find the core imbalances. For instance, stress, poor nutrition, mood disorders, poor concentration and fatigue are interrelated.
