About me
My story
I am Dr. Rose Ngishu, certified by the American board of Internal Medicine. I also incorporate Lifestyle Medicine, wellness coaching, and to a lesser extent Functional medicine in my practice. I work with adult patients, to equip them to prevent, treat, and/or reverse their acute and chronic health problems. I have over 26 years of cumulative clinical experience, having started my healthcare career in 1998 as a certified nurse’s assistant. I worked for about 15 years as a registered nurse (retired,) and in hospital as well as home health care administration prior to becoming a physician.
I have great rapport with all my patients, in part due to our shared experiences. As a female African immigrant, a wife, a working mother, I can can speak ad nauseam on the impact of adverse childhood events, social determinants of health, stress, and many such related topics. As a tenured hands-on, health care professional, I can equally elaborate on the shortcomings of our current healthcare system; the failed sick-care-model, the poor access to care for some populations, the multiple concurrent pandemics – Covid19, mental illness, obesity, etcetera. As a ordinary conscious human being, I can speak to the environmental issues that threaten our long-term survival, and the urgent need for all of us to take personal responsibility for our health, and to be accountable to society at large for how we achieve that. However, some or all these issues don’t really matter to every patient, especially unless and until they feel good, are safe, and receive exceptional care every time they need it, while saving time and money in the long run. So, that’s why I individualize care, focusing closely to what matters most to every patient.
I have also noted, that nearly all my patients express a desire to obtain sound health education, presented in a manner they can easily understand, so that they can best care for themselves without causing harm. That’s why I teach, and guide them, providing legitimate resources for them. That helps clear-up some of the confusion and misinformation ubiquitous out there. Well, whatever your concerns, wherever you are in your health and life’s journey, I am ready to help you. My ongoing training, education and personal experiences have prepared me to meet my patients where they are, and help them find their clear path to well-being. I assess, diagnose, treat, and equip, my patients with the knowledge and tools necessary for them to enjoy exuberant health and wellness. I take a root-cause approach to diagnosis, and a holistic approach to treatment and management, within the evidence-based framework of internal and lifestyle medicine. Communication and collaboration helps overcome obstacles.
Let me #HELP you to Health, Energy, and Longevity, so that you can pursue your life’s Passions.

Testimonials
She doesn’t look at an existing medical issue in isolation but takes a more holistic approach with her patients.She cared for my shingles, but more importantly, she cared for me,asking me questions regarding my exercise patterns, sleep habits, and other things going on in my life. She listened intently to my concerns and stressors. She emphasized the importance of rest, diet, and healthy practices in living life. I love her approach to caring for her patients.
