George Papanicolaou, DO, IFMCP, is a graduate of the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine and is Board Certified in Family Medicine from Abington Memorial Hospital, Abington, Pennsylvania. He is also an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner. (IFMCP). Upon graduation from his residency, Dr. Papanicolaou joined the Indian Health Service (IHS), where he worked on the Navajo reservation for 4 years at the Chinle Comprehensive Medical Facility, serving as the Outpatient Department Coordinator. He left the IHS to establish Cornerstone Family Practice in Rowley (MA) where he practiced with a philosophy centered on cultivating personal relationships and treating the whole person, not just the disease. He called that philosophy “Whole Life Wellness”.
It was at Cornerstone Personal Health that he incorporated the principles of Functional Medicine and established a practice dedicated entirely to the Functional Medicine model. Dr. Papanicolaou became known for transforming his patients’ lives by getting to, and treating the root cause of conditions, not just symptoms. Dr. Papanicolaou had the opportunity to meet with Dr. Hyman and the connection was instant. Their shared passion for treating people with food as medicine within a Functional Medicine model resulted in Dr. Hyman inviting Dr. Papanicolaou to bring his expertise and twenty years of experience to the UltraWellness team.
