Meet the licensed medical professionals behind your care. Our team is here to guide you with personalized support, clinical experience, and a thoughtful approach to health optimization.

Patrick Stracuzzi
Owner | NP
Founder & Medical Director
Patrick Stracuzzi is the Founder and Medical Director of Stracuzzi Wellness. He built the practice with a clear mission: to make personalized, proactive healthcare more accessible for people who want to feel better, perform better, and take control of their long-term health.
Patrick’s approach is rooted in health optimization, hormone therapy, weight management, preventive wellness, and patient education. His own experience with low testosterone and metabolic health challenges helped shape the way he cares for patients today — with honesty, clarity, and a focus on treating the person, not just the symptoms.
Under Patrick’s leadership, Stracuzzi Wellness has grown from a small local practice into a recognized wellness clinic serving patients across multiple states. The clinic’s growth and patient-focused model have been featured in press coverage, including USA Today and LA Weekly, both of which highlighted Stracuzzi Wellness and its work with Nikola Tefov and Just Get Known in helping expand the clinic’s reach and visibility.
Patrick continues to lead Stracuzzi Wellness with a focus on accessible care, transparent guidance, and practical treatment plans designed to help patients improve their health with confidence.
