Born in Augusta, Georgia, but raised in southern Ohio by parents native to Chattanooga, Dr. Mary McKenzie has always felt she had southern roots. Pursuing medicine has always been a life-long dream. She graduated valedictorian of her local high school then went on to attend Otterbein University where she majored in life science and played volleyball. She graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science degree with Honors in 2002. Under the US Air Force Health Professions Scholarship Program, she was commissioned second lieutenant attending Maxwell AFB Officer Training School in 2003. She graduated from Ohio University College of Osteopathic Medicine in 2007. After completing her internship in Emergency Medicine at Doctors Hospital, Columbus, Ohio she went on to serve her active duty tour for four years. Stationed in middle Georgia at Robins AFB, Captain McKenzie was trained as a flight surgeon specialized in aerospace medicine, primarily managing the care of aviators and special operations personnel. Dr. McKenzie served as Chief Resident and was awarded the Outstanding Resident Teaching Award.Her passion for the integrative medicine model evolved naturally as an osteopathic trained physician. A holistic approach to patient care is a mindset that takes into consideration the whole person. It acknowledges all the facets that contribute to health and well-being; the mind and body are connected. Patients need to feel heard and understood. Offering several medical disciplines (acupuncture, nutrition, mental health, hormone replacement, and massage) allows a patient easier access to more options for their healthcare. The mind-body-spirit triad to health and healing is exemplified by this practice and Dr. McKenzie. She lives on Signal Mountain with her husband and three beautiful, rambunctious boys. Dr. Mckenzie is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C). Her top areas of expertise are Menopause, Vertigo, Premenstrual Syndrome, and Insomnia.

Chelsea Ryan, DO grew up in the hospital. Her stepfather is an anesthesiologist, and her mother is a CRNA. In the small community in rural Pennsylvania where she lived, Dr. Ryan spent nearly every afternoon at the hospital doing homework until her parents finished their work for the day. Even though she didn’t know in what capacity, entering the medical field was something she always planned to do. “The hospital was like a second home and felt very natural for me. I wanted to explore and try everything before I decided on what course in medicine I would take,” says Dr. Ryan. “Ultimately I chose family medicine because I really valued the relationship aspect – and I didn’t want to choose between seeing children and adults. I really enjoy working with people of all ages.” As a DO, Dr. Ryan looks at the whole person – mind, body and spirit – when making a diagnosis or addressing a specific health issue. Although there may have been greater differences in the past between an MD and a DO, today’s medical education explores the interconnectedness of the body’s systems – no matter which path you choose. The osteopathic approach looks beyond the symptoms of an illness to see underlying issues and believes in fostering the body’s own natural tendency to heal, while also making use of every investigative and treatment option available to help people get well. The osteopathic mindset is one more tool in her toolkit for providing effective, high-quality and personalized care. Dr. Ryan is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C). Her top areas of expertise are Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Insomnia, Asthma in Children, and Asthma.
