Welcome.
Hello, this is Doctor T. I hope to be able to help you.
I am an internal medicine physician who specializes in the use of natural medicines in advanced and complex medical conditions. I have specialized training and a focused interest in using natural therapies with a long history of clinical use – like mistletoe, IV vitamin C, chelation & detoxification practices, among others.
My clinic in Asheville, NC is an access clinic for those seeking intensive natural therapies to support advanced conditions like cancer, neurodegenerative conditions, cardiovascular disease, and severe autoimmune diseases. Members of my practice have access to these therapies at-cost to reduce bias and improve access to care.
To your health,
– Doctor T
About Doctor T, MD
Dr. Teresa Campanile, MD is a double board-certified internal medicine and integrative medicine physician who specializes in the use of alternative and complimentary medicines for advanced chronic disease. She has 14 years of clinical experience practicing in both standard medical (inpatient acute hospital care) and alternative medical settings.
Dr T obtained her medical degree at The University of Connecticut School of Medicine and completed her training in internal medicine at Case Western Reserve University. Her career began as a dedicated physician and teacher, serving as professor of medicine and faculty at Columbia University, University of North Carolina, and MAHEC. She developed an early interest in alternative & integrative modalities while listening to her patient’s health & healing stories. She sought specialty trainings in various alternative medicines and opened Doctor T, MD PLLC in 2021 to provide high quality integrative medicine care to her local community in Asheville, NC.
Several natural medicines have become foundational in her practice in the treatment of advanced chronic conditions – IV Vitamin C, Mistletoe, chelation therapy to name a few. The high out-of-pocket costs and sparsity of trained physicians for these therapies in our current model of care make them difficult to access with proper medical supervision. Our clinic is now dedicated to improving access to these therapies, is focused on fundraising for community care, and is in the process of applying for 501c3 status to better serve our community.

American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM)

ACCESS AT-COST THERAPIES

During active membership, in-office therapies, supplements, and diagnostics are all provided at-cost.

We estimate this model reduces annual costs for these therapies by >50% for those on intensive treatment protocols.
