The Clinical Model
01. Evaluation
Every patient journey begins with a comprehensive, systems-oriented evaluation. We assess the interconnected whole—metabolic and hormonal pathways, microbiome health, neurological and energetic function, structural dynamics, and environmental influences—using advanced functional diagnostics, genomic insights, and holistic clinical observation to uncover hidden root causes that conventional approaches often overlook.
02. Orchestration
Rather than managing symptoms in isolation or relying on single-modality treatments, we orchestrate a unified, multidisciplinary protocol. Each therapeutic element is carefully selected and sequenced so that modalities reinforce one another: regenerative therapies support structural healing, neuroscience tools enhance mental clarity, nutritional and detoxification programs restore gut integrity, energy medicine optimizes cellular vitality, and time-honored traditions complement cutting-edge interventions.
03. Transformation
This intentional, precision-guided coordination—blending modern science with ancient wisdom—creates measurable progress and profound, sustainable transformation. Patients move beyond merely coping with chronic conditions to reclaiming lasting energy, clarity, resilience, and whole-system harmony.
Our Philosophy
"We practice with unwavering precision and heal with profound intention."
Our approach weaves together the most advanced frontiers of modern science—genomic insights, functional diagnostics, regenerative medicine, and neuroscience—with the timeless wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture, Ayurvedic medicine, naturopathy, and Western and Eastern herbal traditions.
Every protocol is deeply personalized, crafted not from standardized templates but from a genuine understanding of each patient’s unique biology, life story, and aspirations. This harmonious integration of evidence-based innovation and ancient healing arts creates a powerful synergy that addresses root causes, restores systemic balance, and cultivates vibrant, sustainable health for a lifetime.
At Pittsburgh Integrative, we are committed to guiding you beyond symptom relief toward true vitality—where body, mind, and spirit align in lasting harmony.

Clinic Director
Dr. Quezada represents a rare convergence of medical disciplines.
