Why Dr. Mary Migliori Chose a New Path in Patient Care

Why Dr. Mary Left Anesthesiology for Integrative Medicine to offer Better Patient Care

Dr. Mary Migliori’s transition from anesthesiology to integrative medicine was driven by a clear realization: while conventional medicine plays a vital role in acute care, it often falls short in addressing the long-term health challenges many patients face.

After years of working in the operating room and seeing patients cycle through surgeries and medications without lasting improvements, Dr. Migliori began seeking a more comprehensive, root-cause approach to health.

Her background in anesthesiology gave her a deep understanding of physiology, pharmacology, and the critical importance of safety and precision in medicine. But it also revealed the limitations of treating symptoms in isolation.

Over time, she saw more patients with complex, chronic conditions that weren’t being resolved through standard care models. These experiences led her to explore functional and integrative medicine—an approach focused on understanding the whole person, not just isolated symptoms.

Integrative medicine offered what Dr. Migliori felt was missing – the time and tools to fully investigate why a patient wasn’t feeling well. It allowed her to ask deeper questions about lifestyle, environment, nutrition, stress, and genetics—and to develop individualized care plans that support the body’s natural ability to heal.

Dr. Mary became board certified in Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine, adding a new dimension to her already extensive medical background.

This shift wasn’t just philosophical—it was practical. Patients were increasingly looking for solutions that went beyond prescriptions. Many were dealing with fatigue, hormonal imbalances, inflammation, or metabolic issues that didn’t show up clearly in standard labs or didn’t respond to conventional treatments.

Dr. Migliori saw an opportunity to offer a different path—one grounded in science, but expanded to include the personalized strategies needed for sustainable wellness.

At Integrative Medicine of Idaho, Dr. Migliori combines the precision of traditional medicine with the holistic scope of functional care. She and her team really make an effort and take time to understand each patient’s history and health goals, using advanced testing and proven lifestyle interventions to create targeted treatment plans.

Dr. Migliori’s commitment to integrative medicine stems from a simple yet powerful belief: that patients deserve more than temporary relief—they deserve to understand their health and reclaim their vitality. Her work today reflects that belief, offering a high level of care tailored to each individual’s unique biology and health journey.
