About Dr. Christie

Dr. Heather Christie is a board-certified Family Medicine physician and Founder of Christie MD Functional and Aesthetic Medicine.

She is passionate about partnering with her patients to identify the root causes of disease in order to restore and maintain optimal health. She practices functional medicine, which is based on the truth that our body systems function as an interrelated whole as well as the understanding that we have a natural ability to heal when provided with the correct ingredients. Her holistic approach integrates traditional testing and medications with advanced testing and natural treatments. Natural approaches to healing include nutritional supplements, food plans, hormonal support, physical activity, and stress reduction techniques. She may recommend prescription medications if indicated, although prefers to reduce patients’ reliance on prescriptions and to have patients become healthy enough to discontinue prescription meds when medically appropriate.

Her goal is to enable patients to take control of their own health through education about their disease processes and by detailed evaluation to uncover the root causes of underlying imbalances. She will partner with you to develop a personalized health plan, created for you and your individual needs, to restore and maintain your health. She is committed to helping you make sustainable changes in your lifestyles that will produce positive, life-changing outcomes and facilitate achieving your health goals.

Patient Testimonials

Apryl J

Patient

If I could give a million stars, I would. Over the years I have, without hesitation, recommended Dr. Christie to many family members, friends, and co-workers. From our first appointment, I liked Dr. Christie because I felt she understood the type of care that I wanted...not one to prescribe first, but analyze and find coping mechanisms for the future. Dr. Christie always responded promptly to my messages left in the Patient Portal. Throughout the 7 years I've been her patient, I’ve enjoyed her continued eagerness in efforts to uncover root causes instead of slapping a label on symptoms and prescribing a bottle. I never felt rushed in my appointments and she always takes time for my questions. Dr. Heather Christie is a rare gem in her field. If you are looking for a witty, caring, and positive physician, look no further!

I enjoy having Dr. Christie as my doctor. She is very thorough and asks a lot of questions, listening carefully about my concerns and health issues. I feel comfortable with her and she considers my feedback when I’m worried about maintaining lifestyle changes.

Anna C

Patient

I had health issues that could no longer be ignored and had a lot of apprehension about the medical profession. Past experiences were never pleasant. Dr. Christie was the first doctor in decades that listened and actually HEARD me. She possess a quality and instinct I have rarely seen in others and has a rare gift few doctors possess of being able to put one at ease without being overbearing. She gained my trust and has been my doctor for many years. Anyone can dispense pills. I am grateful that I found her.

Dr. Christie is a physician who shows compassion and truly listens to her patient's concerns. She is also rare in that she inquires about her patients’ families and outside interests to get a better picture of how to best meet their needs.
