Background

About Sheri A. Lofton

Sheri A. Lofton, MD, an Inova 360° physician, is board-certified in both family medicine and integrative medicine. Dr. Lofton is dedicated to partnering with each patient and walking with them on a journey to health – as both a guide and fellow traveler. Dr. Lofton believes healing occurs when patients and physicians partner to create shared goals for healing. She is committed to open communication and encourages patients to take an active role in their health, bringing any concerns they may have to visits as they examine habits and set goals for areas in need of change. As an integrative medicine physician, Dr. Lofton views each patient as a whole person - attending to the mind, body and spirit - and focuses on her patients’ overall wellness and health. When necessary, medical solutions recommended may include a combination of Western medicine and other healing traditions. Dr. Lofton’s medical special interests are comprised of chronic medical conditions that are brought on or worsened by lifestyle choices. She works with patients to develop practical solutions in overcoming barriers to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. In addition, Dr. Lofton enjoys helping patients find balance in their lives, utilizing the mind-body connection as it relates to health, such as reducing discomfort or disease and increasing overall health and well-being. Several years into her medical practice, Dr. Lofton noticed many patients were interested in non-traditional medical approaches. In order to best partner with her patients, Dr. Lofton wanted to learn more about these health techniques and trained through a fellowship at the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine, a program founded by Andrew Weil, MD, an integrative medicine pioneer. Dr. Lofton is grateful for the privilege to care for patients and looks forward to the opportunity to partner with those who are seeking health and wellness.
