About

Dr. Sommer White owns and leads Vitality Medical Wellness Center as its founding physician. Her path to medicine began with a desire to help people, one that first took her to Nepal with the Peace Corps and then to the island of Hispaniola on repeated medical missions. She trained as an emergency physician and found deep satisfaction in relieving patients of acute pain quickly. That drive to help people heal pushed her toward functional and integrative medicine, where she now focuses on deeper, longer-term recovery.

Dr. White believes illness stems from imbalances created by food, thoughts, and past trauma. She approaches each patient as a unique case, tracing the web of symptoms back to an individual root cause rather than applying a single standard solution. Her clinical philosophy holds that personalized medicine is not a preference but a necessity. She focuses on helping patients heal from within, combining advanced diagnostics with therapies that address the whole person.
