Cristal Speller

MD, MPH, IFMCP, ABIHM

After graduating from New York University with a major in Chemistry and minors in Biology, Math and German, Dr. Speller received her medical degree from Stanford University School of Medicine, followed by her Master in Public Health from the UC Berkeley School of Public Health. She then went on to complete a residency in pediatrics at Children’s Hospital Oakland. After working as a pediatrician in private practice and urgent care for 5 years, Dr. Speller began a career in alternative medicine. At one time, she owned and operated several practices with many offices throughout the state of California.

Her involvement in alternative medicine led Dr. Speller to pursue academic training and accreditations in many other facets of holistic medicine. She combines her extensive training in both allopathic and complementary and alternative medicine to offer whole-body care to her patients using a functional medicine approach—identifying and treating the root causes of illness or disease, while focusing on enhanced lifestyle choices to improve health. She has a true zest for knowledge and is dedicated to continuing to educate herself to be able to deliver the best and most innovative and cutting-edge care to all of her patients.
