Welcome to Rooted!
I'm Dr. Manessa Shaw

A BOARD-CERTIFIED FAMILY MEDICINE PHYSICIAN

I'm dedicated to providing a healthcare experience that is personalized and empowers you. 

My goal is to support you in achieving your best health by integrating conventional medicine with evidenced based holistic approaches that address the root causes of illness. My passion is to empower you with the knowledge and tools you need to make informed decisions about your health and actively participate in your own wellness journey.

I founded Rooted with a vision of providing comprehensive, patient-centered care that prioritizes your unique health needs.

“I've always felt that true healthcare should go beyond simply addressing symptoms.”

Healthcare should be about truly understanding each patient as an individual, listening to their concerns, and empowering them to take control of their own health.

Rooted Integrative Medical Clinic

My Philosophy of Care

After years of experiencing the limitations of traditional healthcare systems, I knew I wanted to create something different. I’ve always thought that healthcare should be about truly understanding each patient as an individual, listening to their concerns, and empowering them to take control of their own health. That's why I founded Rooted Integrative Medical Clinic—a place where patients receive personalized care that honors their unique health needs and goals.

“The Direct Primary Care model allows me to practice medicine the way I always envisioned it…”

with time to build meaningful relationships with my patients, freedom to explore a wide range of treatment options, and a focus on whole-person wellness.

I'm passionate about integrating conventional medicine with holistic approaches to help my patients achieve optimal health and well-being.

My ultimate goal is to partner with you on your health journey, providing compassionate care, expert guidance, and the tools you need to thrive.

At Rooted Integrative, we believe that healthcare should be a partnership between the patient and their provider. We are committed to providing personalized care that addresses all aspects of your health and well-being, empowering you to make informed decisions about your own care.
