Practice
Dr. McCarty is a women’s health care provider at Seattle Integrative Medicine. She enjoys spending time with and getting to know her patients, learning their personal and health histories to aid in discovery of the root causes of symptoms. She believes the body has the power to heal itself, given the proper support, and that it takes a thorough investigation to learn what that support should be, as it is unique to every individual.

Her practice is enriched by family practice experience in community health care settings, including a two-year Family Practice residency at the Bastyr Center for Natural Health.
