Beth Netter, M.D., is a graduate of the University at Buffalo’s School of Biomedical Sciences. She did her residency training in anesthesiology and high risk obstetric anesthesiology at Harvard University’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, and served as director of obstetric anesthesiology and staff anesthesiologist at Memorial Hospital in Worcester.

It was while she was practicing anesthesiology that she felt inspired to discover more natural and holistic ways to support people in feeling healthy and happy. She now practices holistic mind-body medicine which includes medical acupuncture, meditation and breathing therapies, and strategies for wellness and pain and stress reduction.
