Mission Statement

We revolutionize care for those stuck in complex, chronic illness.
By uncovering root causes and bridging functional, integrative, and conventional medicine, we address what others overlook—empowering you to heal, reclaim control, and break free from the endless cycle of symptoms and prescriptions.

We Envision A World Where…

  • Complex chronic illness is no longer a life sentence - but a solvable challenge with the right, individualized care.
  • Healthcare is no longer corporate, impersonal, and reactive - but personal, integrative, and proactive.
  • Precision medicine and root-cause care replace symptom management, leading to true and lasting healing.
  • Patients break free from the frustration of a broken medical system and finally receive care that truly sees them.
  • Healing isn’t rushed - it’s thorough, strategic, and designed to restore vitality, not just manage disease.
  • IV Therapy is complementary to supplements and allows deep cellular healing and repairing processes.

Our practitioners have studied in conventional, integrative, functional and naturopathic medicine. Through decades of practicing medicine and treating thousands of patients with all types of illnesses we have perfected a method to get you functioning at your best. We believe in thriving, vibrant health, not just the absence of dis-ease. Achieving this quality of health, improves all aspects of your life.

Through natural, non-toxic and highly effective modalities, our philosophy is to first do no harm. Our role is to help the body’s natural ability to heal itself by discovering, treating and removing the cause. We believe in educating, empowering and motivating you to take responsibility for your own health. We believe prevention is the best medicine. As naturopathic medical doctors, we are preventative medical specialists. With our highly acute diagnostic skills we are able to save you time, money and uncertainty.

"Indigo is what healthcare should look like."

Our Values

Outcome-Driven

We don’t guess—we test, track, and course-correct. Good enough is never the finish line; we’re committed to measurable, ongoing improvement in your health.

Evidence-Informed Innovation

We apply the best available research while staying nimble. When data is limited, we draw from clinical expertise to make informed, forward-thinking decisions.

Mentorship-Driven Guidance

We value your research, instincts, and questions—and we’ll meet you there with expertise and clarity. Our role is to guide, not dictate, and to help you make informed, empowered decisions.

Patient-Forward

We care. You won’t wait months to be seen—and when you call, a real person answers. We build care around your story, your timing, and your goals.

Collaborative Care

Your care is a team effort. We collaborate closely across our in-house team—and with you—to design plans that are strategic, realistic, and aligned with your goals.

We Walk the Talk

The practices we share are the ones we live by. From nutrition to nervous system support, we’re on the path too—investing in our own health so we can better support yours.

A New Paradigm for Complex Chronic Illness

Traditional Insurance Falls Short Quick visits and prescriptions overlook root causes, preventing true healing.

Specialist-Hopping Isn’t the Answer True healing requires a whole-person approach—connecting the dots, investigating root causes, and understanding how every system in your body interacts.

Insurance Overlooks Prevention & Root-Cause Care The system isn’t designed for long-term solutions or proactive health.

Holistic Care for Lasting Health Diet, lifestyle, and emotional well-being are essential. We provide expert guidance to help you implement meaningful, lasting change.

A Comprehensive Healing ToolboxWe bridge the best of conventional, functional, and holistic medicine—using pharmaceuticals when needed, alongside herbs, supplements, targeted lifestyle modification and cutting-edge IV therapies.

Personalized, Family-Run Care We’re a family-run practice that prioritizes relationships over bureaucracy. You’ll always reach a real person, whether by phone or patient portal. With a dedicated team that truly knows you, nothing gets overlooked.

The Indigo Method: 6 Steps to Deep Healing

Learn who we are

01

Groundwork: Mindset & Mentorship

We begin with your foundation. Through steady guidance, next-level detoxification and nervous system support, we help you regulate, reframe, and feel anchored—so you’re mentally equipped for the path ahead.

02

Illuminate: Advanced Diagnostics

We uncover what others miss. Using cutting-edge labs and clinical insight, we decode your symptoms at the root—bringing clarity to complex illness and building the case for targeted care.

03

Target: Personalized Treatment

No templates, no guesswork. Your protocol is built around your biology—addressing infections, toxins, autoimmunity, hormone shifts, and micronutrient imbalances with precision and purpose.

04

Clear: Intelligent Detoxification

Detox is not a trend—it’s a strategy we return to throughout care. We help your body safely clear pathogens, biotoxins, and inflammatory waste, while minimizing reactivity and strengthening resilience.

05

Recalibrate: Immune System Balance

Whether your immune system is underperforming or overreactive, we bring it back to center. We target molecular mimicry, autoimmunity, and immune dysregulation—restoring clarity and control.

06

Sustain: Nutrition & Gut Renewal

This is where long-term healing locks in. With personalized nutrition, we repair your gut lining, reset your microbiome, and restore metabolic and immune integrity—day by day, meal by meal.

Healing the complex, uncovering answers, and restoring hope where others couldn't.

It is our mission to solve complex chronic illness with precision and compassion, bridging the gap between functional, integrative, and conventional medicine. Our mission is to create a future where true integrative, root-cause care transforms lives for generations to come.

Alexandra M.

"You brought me back to life! Thank you for the detailed and thoughtful health evaluation that helped create a plan that has lifted me back up after 2 very close back to back pregnancies. The supplement support and hormone therapy has put my body and spirit back on track."

Anonymous

"Dr. Sharkar gave me my life back. After exhausting every avenue to heal multiple health conditions, I had reached a dead end—until Indigo. Dr. Sharkar’s personal and clinical experience with thyroid healing gave me hope. Today, my body is healthier than it’s been since birth, and I’m deeply grateful for this transformation."

Cayce E.

"Working with Indigo was the best decision I’ve made for my health. I was quickly diagnosed and treated with targeted supplements and lifestyle changes, and my labs steadily improved to normal. Dr. Sharkar and her team are thorough, effective, and kind. I feel healthier and more energized than I have in over a decade!"

Jenna E.

"I just want to send my heartfelt gratitude to you all at indigo. The change I’m seeing in myself in more than one way just makes me so thankful. I’ve looked for this change in so many doctors' offices over the years and never found a place who could give me what I needed."

Joy K.

"Beautiful environment, balanced with personal and professional, but mostly if you follow their guidance, it works!"

K. E.

"Indigo Integrative Health is a GEM! I am already feeling better than I have in years. I am beyond grateful and couldn't recommend Indigo enough."

Kate D.

"I am not being dramatic when I say Dr Sharkar saved my life. I was having a very hard time since the birth of my daughter. She identified the problem and I started treatment right away. I had seen a lot of doctors before Dr. Sharkar and no one has ever compared. I owe her everything. She has given me my life back."

Katherine L.

"Before Indigo, I struggled daily with gut issues, dizziness, acne, and fatigue. Nothing worked- until I found Indigo. Yes, it was an investment of time and money- but one that changed my life. I no longer feel bloated, woozy, or in pain. Most importantly, I had a healthy pregnancy and thriving postpartum experience. What sets Indigo apart is their genuine care and commitment- I’ve never felt so supported. Today, I feel better than I ever imagined possible"

Kelly S.

"I was close to giving up to having a 'normal' life after multiple separate but related health issues, and never getting a comprehensive review of my entire body through traditional medicine. I have only been in the care of Indigo for a few months, but am now looking forward to my future potential as a healthy human! If you’re on the fence, reach out."

L. A.

"The entire Indigo team is phenomenal—warm, welcoming, and genuinely invested in their patients’ health. From day one, they made me feel cared for and supported. Their dedication, expertise, and the invaluable information they've shared with me have been life-changing. I am beyond grateful for their time and attention and highly recommend Indigo to anyone looking to take control of their health in a truly transformative way!"

Margaret G.

"My entire life, I had GI issues that were just dismissed by regular doctors. I knew [working with Indigo} was going to be expensive but I figured I might as well just go for it, get to the bottom of it. So after working with Indigo, I am no longer chronically ill. I'm sleeping better. I'm able to live life without any of that complication now. They’ve been miracle workers, medical detectives who get to the bottom of what's causing your symptoms. It's been life changing."

Marta S.

"Indigo didn’t just treat my Lyme. They helped me rebuild from the inside out. My body is now stronger and more grounded than ever before. Yes, it’s an investment. But it was the only path to root-level healing. It was scary to move away from conventional medicine, but this approach—holistic, evidence-informed, human—was what I needed to truly heal. I’m now able to live my life to the fullest."

Maureen M.

"After four years of worsening chronic symptoms, wasted money on random tests, and the prospect of lifelong medications, I came to Indigo exhausted. In just three months under Indigo’s care, my symptoms are steadily improving. This is truly the best care I’ve ever received. Indigo shouldn’t be a last resort - it should be the first place you go to understand and heal your body."

Paula R.

"This place is amazing. I no longer struggle with IBS symptoms. I have been so impressed with the level of attention and care received here. It's truly incredible. SO highly recommended."

Rina G.

"I can’t remember the last time my body felt this healthy. I came to Indigo with multiple autoimmune flares and prescriptions I hoped to move away from. Having worked with other functional providers, I can confidently say none match Indigo’s organization, attention to detail, and quality of care. My OBGYN was so impressed with my progress, she asked for Dr. Sharkar’s info. This has been one of the best investments I’ve made in my health- I’d do it again in a heartbeat. "

Rosie P.

"The way that my health has changed since Indigo is pretty drastic. After working with the Indigo team, I found out that I had Hashimoto's,. I finally got the medical help that I actually needed. I was able to conceive and have a baby. It's a higher evolution of medicine from my perspective. I love Indigo. It elevated my life"

"The care and treatment I have received from Indigo Integrative Health Clinic has, without exaggeration, saved my life. I had been suffering for over 3 years with serious symptoms [...].The medical industry gave up on me. Indigo gave me accurate and thorough testing and was able to diagnose me quickly. I was put on an effective treatment plan that showed me improvements in my health quicker than I thought possible."

Sonia K.

"This clinic literally saved me after a terrible shingles outbreak and a horde of autoimmune disorders. Competent, compassionate, excellent doctors. Cannot recommend them strongly enough. What they do at Indigo is the future of medicine. "

Stephanie H.

"No doctor that I've been to with any of my symptoms, even talked about Lyme.. Dr. Sharkar understood it inside and out and answered every question I had—about long-term outcomes, healing timelines, and everything in between. I feel like I have my life back!"
