Meet Dr. Marina Rasnow-Hill

Hello! My name is Dr. Marina Rasnow-Hill. My career bridges Family Medicine, Acupuncture, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Functional Medicine. I’m also a lifelong learner and creative entrepreneur, continually expanding my knowledge to provide the best care possible.

My own complex health journey inspires me to go beyond standardized Western medicine. I integrate science-backed approaches — including medical acupuncture, functional medicine, therapeutic exercise, and targeted nutrition — alongside conventional medicine to uncover root causes and promote lasting wellness.
