Welcome to Attenda Medicine!
Your journey to recovery and better health should be as unique as you are. Diagnosis, treatment, health assessments, screening tests, lab work, and referrals should be tailored SPECIFICALLY to you!
The greatest power to heal resides within ourselves. To unlock this power, we look for the underlying root causes of the illness, and then restore the balance with evidence-based conventional and complementary medicine, while empowering you with knowledge every step of the way to your optimal health.
The Mission
What We Do:
We offer attentive, individualized treatment approaches for patients who are suffering from a variety of complex life-changing conditions, including Autoimmune disorders, thyroid and hormonal imbalances, Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, IBS, Dementia, mold-related illness, Chronic Lyme and tick borne infections. These conditions are typically challenging because they can be hard to diagnose and hard to treat. Conventional treatment usually just treats the symptoms. At Attenda Medicine, we look for the causes of these conditions, and can then determine the best comprehensive, integrative treatment. That usually involves using a variety of therapies, including botanical medicines, nutritional supplements, pharmaceutical drugs, bio-identical hormones, nutrition and detoxification programs, effective holistic, alternative, and functional medicine treatment methods to help our patients heal and manage these diseases.

Using the ‘functional medicine’ approach, she searches for specific causes of illnesses and then works to help rebalance the system, decrease inflammation, and enhance immune function. Irina Nikitina completed her Adult Nurse Practitioner (ANP) degree in 2007 through the George Washington University and George Mason Collaborative Program. She received additional advanced training in integrative and functional medicine while working with leading Lyme and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome experts.
