Our family loves Jessica and her whole practice. We feel well cared for, seen and heard! In this day and age of quick doctor visits and high costs of care, the care we receive here is integral to wellness.
Valerie is a board-certified Nurse Practitioner. She started out her medical career as a registered nurse in the emergency department for six and a half years. She loved the fast paced environment, but quickly realized they were often lacking adequate treatments and instead, giving the band-aid approach. Meanwhile, her body rapidly started to fall apart; developing new autoimmune diseases, mold toxicity, hormonal disruptions, and plenty of gut issues to name a few. She was gaslighted by every doctor she went to, which led her down the rabbit hole of figuring these things out on her own, through extensive scientific research.
She then became a Nurse Practitioner through Lewis University, determined to change the medical field forever. Right out of school, she began working in functional medicine, working with complex medical mysteries. With this and healing her own body, she fell more in love with root-cause medicine. Her previous ER career, love for kids, and five year-old-twin niece and nephew all inspired her to shift her world to pediatrics, where she feels she can make the biggest impact.
Valerie believes in integrating tools from both spectrums of traditional and alternative medicine and enjoys the puzzle-piecing it takes to understand how and why diseases occur. She has recognized that our bodies are made up of a complex interconnected web of biological systems and processes that require individualized and tailored treatment plans. With your collaboration, data, and time, she will do everything in her power to get the root of your health issues.

I want to send a huge THANK YOU to Victoria and the Well Rooted Practice as a whole. It began with Danielle calling me and taking detailed notes prior to our visit, which led us to being greeted by a welcoming staff and then, Victoria, the provider, who is simply amazing. She saw my son yesterday and was so knowledgeable and kind. I didn’t feel rushed at all. She took time to answer all of my questions.
Not only that, I felt wrapped in Jesus’ love hearing Christian music playing in the office.
Hand down the best practice around!
We are new patients at Well-Rooted. We were greeted by the friendly receptionist who answered all our questions. Even though it’s a temporary location, it was very well organized and clean. We saw Allison for our visit. She was knowledgeable, friendly and took the time to listen and answer any of our questions. She put our children at ease and made the appointment very easy. We are so grateful for this pediatric office and look forward to building a relationship with the staff!
Jessica and her staff at Well Rooted Pediatrics are very friendly and accommodating. We were welcomed with a smile and Jessica is very knowledgeable and thorough. Awesome practice!
Fantastic personalized care you won’t find anywhere else. Staff is amazing! Providers are helpful, informative and respond quickly. So glad I found this place and I won’t take my kids anywhere else. It’s a 50 mile drive and more than worth it!
