Your interactive, collaborative physician assistant employing integrative medicine, root cause medicine, and medical coaching to relieve your medical issues - with you.
You become a partner in your own best health.
Physician Assistant Tammy Jett-Parmer focuses on your needs and challenges.
Tammy's passion is seeking the root causes of illness. With medical tools such as natural nutritional and hormone support, uncovering food sensitivities and repairing gut imbalances, and supporting sleep and stress response, she helps you alleviate those issues through focused individualized treatment plans. Tammy spends the time with you to help you improve your life.
Tammy treats the whole person, not just one symptom or the disease. She focuses on your needs, problems, and intended outcomes, taking the time and attention to review and treat issues that other practitioners may miss, dismiss or lack time to focus on. She searches for the root causes of the issues you have been experiencing, and uses many types of solutions - integrative medicine: integrating many modalities - to help you feel better. This is also called “root cause resolution”, solving the root causes of issues.
Tammy Jett-Parmer began her physician assistant career in 1997; working in several treatment settings including emergency and internal medicine, and was drawn expand her practice into integrative medicine in 2007. Learn more about Integrative Medicine on the Medical page.

She has been in clinical practice in the Maryland area since 2014. Tammy collaborates closely with the practice’s physicians, as is a requirement under the state of Maryland guidelines for licensed physician assistants.
Tammy’s training includes certifications and continuing education in Wellness and Health Coaching through the highly regarded Wellcoaches training institute. Her dedication to her clients and patients has helped them navigate lifestyle challenges critical to their success.
Wellness- coaching is a cornerstone to Tammy’s successful patient interaction. Coaching is a powerful method to connect with a patient’s level of interest or abilities in their own health. While many doctors ‘direct’ their patients, coaching is an interactive process which gives the patients co-creation in their own health.

Tammy Jett-Parmer is a Physician Assistant ("PA"), one of several types of licensed independent medical practitioners: PAs, nurse practitioners and physicians (M.D.s), and in some states, naturopathic physicians and acupuncturists.
PAs consult with their own patients under the supervision of a physician or in a collaborative relationship with other members of a patient’s healthcare team.
PAs can diagnose disease and prescribe medication. PAs undergo rigorous medical training, licensing and certification. Not unlike physicians and nurse practitioners, PAs must complete extensive continuing medical education throughout their careers.
The "C" after "PA-C" means that Tammy has an up-to-date certification.
