RevitalyzeMD Named to 2025 Inc. 5000 List – One of America’s Fastest-Growing Medical Practices

I’m beyond thrilled to announce that RevitalyzeMD has been named to the 2025 Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest‑growing private companies. As founder and physician, this honor touches me deeply—not just as a mark of growth, but as a confirmation that our mission is resonating.

Growing up in Niles, Ohio—a hardworking steel town—I learned early the value of determination and perseverance, lessons my dad, a steelworker‑turned‑police officer, taught by example. I was the first in my family to attend college, earning degrees in Pharmacy and Medicine at The Ohio State University, then completing my Emergency Medicine residency at MetroHealth in Cleveland. Those early years—20+ years as a board‑certified ER physician—taught me the urgency of care, the clarity of crisis, and the compassion of presence.

It was in 2010 at an Anti‑Aging conference that I had a paradigm shift. I fell in love with the potential of regenerative and functional medicine to transform lives—not just treat emergencies. So in January 2017, I founded RevitalyzeMD in Knoxville, TN, to create a different kind of healthcare—a place where cutting‑edge treatments meet deep respect for the individual journey.

At RevitalyzeMD, we combine hormone optimization, regenerative medicine, and aesthetic services—from bio-identical hormone therapy and IV NAD+ treatment to precision laser procedures, Vampire Facials, PRF hair restoration, and sexual wellness interventions like the O‑Shot®, P‑Shot®, Votiva, GAINSWave, and more. Our goal is simple: to help every patient look, feel, and function at their best—inside and out. 

This honor is a tribute to every patient who has trusted us with their health and wellbeing—it’s a testament to how our Knoxville community and beyond values a holistic, science‑backed approach to aging gracefully and living fully. It validates the vision I drew on the back of an envelope in 2017.

But it also lights a fire under us to keep innovating. We’ve built a team that shares our passion—and we’re more determined than ever to expand our reach, elevate our standards, and continue educating others in the fields of sexual medicine, functional nutrition, and regenerative health.

More individuals—especially women and men over 35—are searching for solutions that go beyond symptom management. They’re tired of being handed a prescription pad and rushed out the door. They want answers. They want to feel heard. And most importantly, they want results.

That’s exactly what we offer. We’ve built our practice around the belief that aging should be optimized—not feared. Instead of masking symptoms, we dig deeper to identify root causes and design highly personalized care plans using science-backed, next-generation treatments. This includes:

• Hormone optimization programs for both women and men (HRT, BHRT, TRT)

• Regenerative therapies like PRP, NAD+, peptide protocols, and sexual wellness solutions (O-Shot®, P-Shot®, GAINSWave)

• Cutting-edge aesthetic procedures that support confidence from the inside out

We’re growing because today’s patients are more informed—and more empowered—than ever before. They’re actively seeking:

• Hormone replacement therapy near me

• Best regenerative medicine clinics in Knoxville

• Functional medicine for fatigue, libido, or weight gain

• Non-surgical treatments for aging and sexual wellness

To our patients: thank you for your trust. Supporting you through challenges like hormonal imbalance, sexual dysfunction, aging skin, or fatigue is an honor I cherish every day.

To my team: thank you for your expertise, your care, and your unwavering commitment to excellence.

To Knoxville and our online community: thanks for welcoming us, supporting us, and helping us grow.

Inc. 5000 isn’t just a ranking—it’s proof that combining medical mastery with empathy, innovation, and luxury access does more than change bodies—it changes lives.

Here’s to the next chapter of empowerment, vitality, and transformation.

With heartfelt gratitude,
