About
Desiree Inman, DO began her path in medicine as a nursing student in Lynchburg, VA. Her experiences in nursing school led her to pursue a medical degree so she could more fully advocate for and treat her patients. She completed her medical education at Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine (VCOM) in Blacksburg, VA and her clinical training at Cape Fear Valley Medical Center in Fayetteville, NC. She then completed her Family Medicine residency at Virginia Tech Carilion in Roanoke, VA. Dr. Inman chose direct primary care to build stronger patient relationships and deliver more attentive care. She also provides osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) for both acute and chronic conditions. Originally from Rustburg, VA, she settled in Christiansburg for its familiar small-town character. She and her husband Ted, a Registered Nurse, are raising three boys together.
