About
Dr. Lonnie Empey is a board-certified internist and Fellow of the American College of Physicians with three decades of experience in medicine. 0: a proactive, preventive approach that treats illness at its source. His clinical focus spans internal medicine, preventive medicine, functional medicine, cardiovascular health, hormone optimization, and longevity.
A personal experience shaped Dr. Empey's philosophy in a lasting way. His father's struggle with severe Parkinson's disease showed him the limits of a reactive healthcare system that waits for diagnosis before acting. That experience pushed him to build a practice centered on early intervention, advanced diagnostics, and individualized care. Today he treats conditions including diabetes, hypertension, hormonal imbalances, obesity, cognitive decline, gut disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, and musculoskeletal decline. He pairs regenerative therapies like stem cell treatment, NAD+ infusions, and hyperbaric oxygen with precision testing tools such as VO2 max, autonomic nervous system evaluation, and arterial stiffness assessment. His goal is straightforward: help every patient live a longer, healthier, more fulfilling life.
