Heather A. DeHaan, MD

Functional Medicine Physician

Dr. DeHaan is a board-certified family medicine physician specializing in integrative and functional medicine.

  • Education expand_more

    Dr. DeHaan earned her medical degree from Boston University School of Medicine and completed her Family Medicine residency at Naval Hospital Camp Pendleton.
    During her service as an active-duty physician in the United States Navy, she saw firsthand how nutrition, sleep, movement, and stress management influence health and well-being. She later completed a fellowship in Integrative Medicine at George Washington University, furthering her expertise in lifestyle and functional medicine.
    Those experiences strengthened her passion for integrative and functional medicine and continue to shape her approach to caring for patients. Her clinical interests include mental health, women’s health, including preconception and perimenopause, and adolescent health.

    Inspired by her mother, a medical professional during World War II, Dr. Stivi’s passion for medicine ignited at the age of six, when she accompanied her mother on hospital rounds. This early exposure instilled in her a lifelong commitment to alleviating suffering and providing compassionate care.

    Recognizing the limitations of conventional pharmaceuticals, Dr. Stivi has embraced lifestyle, functional, and integrative medicine, focusing on prevention and identifying root causes of disease. Her holistic, systems-based approach emphasizes a thorough understanding of human physiology and biochemistry. In her practice, she fosters a supportive environment, listening attentively to her patients and considering every detail to ensure accurate diagnoses and personalized treatment plans.

    Outside of her medical practice, Dr. Stivi enjoys ballroom dancing, playing classical piano, and exploring diverse gourmet cuisines during her travels. She values quality time spent with family, enriching her life with cultural experiences and culinary adventures.

    Dr. DeHaan incorporates lifestyle and root-cause principles to support her patients across several key areas:

    • Mental Health: Supporting emotional and cognitive well-being through integrative strategies.

    • Women’s Health: Specializing in key hormonal transitions, including preconception care and perimenopause.

    • Adolescent Health: Guiding young adults toward sustainable, lifelong wellness habits.

  • Patient Care Philosophy expand_more

    From an early age, she knew she wanted to become a physician, but watching her older sister struggle with a chronic illness of unknown cause truly solidified her calling. That experience inspired her to practice medicine differently by listening deeply, understanding the whole person, and helping patients uncover the root causes of their health concerns.

    She believes every patient deserves to feel seen, heard, and understood. She takes time to learn each person’s story and goals before creating an individualized plan that supports lasting health and wellness through a collaborative, patient-centered approach.

  • Personal Interests expand_more

    Outside of the office, Dr. DeHaan enjoys hot yoga, beach volleyball, gardening, cooking with seasonal ingredients, painting, writing, dancing, and spending time with her goldendoodle.
