Founder & Medical Director · Vitals Family Medicine & MedSpa
Roopam Shyam, MD
Board-certified family physician with 18+ years leading primary, urgent, and occupational care — now building a practice where clinical medicine and aesthetic wellness meet.
Philosophy of Care
As we live longer, we need to take care of our aesthetics as well — true wellness is as much about how we feel as how we look.
Dr. Shyam founded Vitals Family Medicine in 2018 to practice patient-centered care that treats the whole person, not just the chief complaint. Nearly two decades in family medicine, urgent care, and occupational health showed her that aging well means more than treating illness — which is why the practice grew to include Vitals MedSpa, extending the same medical rigor and safety standards to aesthetic and wellness care.
