About Dr. Lawson
Dr. Lawson is a physician who practices Functional Medicine at her clinic in Winchester, VA. She is board certified in Family Medicine and Integrative Medicine. She was certified in functional medicine in April of 2017 by the Institute of Functional Medicine. Dr. Lawson believes in a "whole person/whole systems" approach to managing chronic illness and preventing disease. Dr. Lawson loves learning and is always continuing her medical education.
