Alan Gianotti, MD MS ABEM
Dr Gianotti MD, MS, ABEM brings a curious and proactive mindset to concierge medicine. By maintaining a limited clientele and a calm supportive environment he prioritizes listening and understanding to best optimize longevity, wellness and joy. It is an unhurried and deeply personal approach to a longer and healthier life.
His training is unusually wide-ranging for a primary care physician: a microbiology degree from the University of Notre Dame; a medical degree from the University of Oregon; and residency training at Stanford University; followed by years of practice at both Sutter Health and Stanford University Medical Centers. He built his early clinical judgment as a Fulbright Scholar in infectious disease and then tested it in the field, delivering disaster relief and expedition medicine throughout the Himalayas - where a physician's judgment is often the only resource available.
That range extends beyond medicine. Dr. Gianotti is a former Division I collegiate soccer player, an Ironman triathlete, and a Himalayan mountaineer. This history shapes how he practices. He understands the physiology of performance from the inside, the mindset of people who push hard, the mechanics of injury and recovery, and the specific ways stress and anxiety show up in people who are used to operating at the top of their field.
In practice, this means Dr. Gianotti pays close attention to key manageable determinants such as sleep, nutrition, exercise, cardiovascular fitness, emotional health and metabolic function so that nothing falls between the cracks.
Beyond his own practice, Dr. Gianotti serves on the advisory board of the Painted Turtle Camp, Paul Newman's innovative camp for children with serious illnesses, and on the scientific advisory board of Andean Health and Development, where he has helped build hospital systems throughout Ecuador.
Patients describe him as fully present. As a physician, he is a rare find. Dr. Gianotti is someone with the time and calm demeanor to understand not only his patients' key biomarkers but the pressures that they endure day to day.
