About Us

Meet Dr. Bogdan Popa

I am originally from Romania, Eastern Europe and was fortunate to be able to emigrate to the United States as a teenager with my family. A few years later I enrolled at Georgetown University Medical school where I obtained my medical doctor degree. I always wanted to be an anesthesiologist, so immediately after medical school I spent the next 4 years in an anesthesiology residency at Stanford Medical Center in Palo Alto, CA. I still love anesthesiology and continue to practice it to this day. Soon after I turned 40 I had a sudden health challenge and I was fortunate to be treated by a naturopathic doctor back to full health. That is when I found my second (professional) love: natural and integrative medicine, in other words treating the “root cause” of a medical problem because it helped me so much in my own journey. In 2016 I became an Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM) Certified Practitioner.
