The Institute of Plant Based Medicine(IOPBM) was founded and developed in the Spring of 2020 by Dr. Angie Sadeghi along with Dr. Danielle Belardo, James and Dahlia Marin, Dr. Vanessa Mendez, Dr. Melissa Mondala, and Dr. Micah Yu. Our team realized that there is a gap in connecting medical knowledge with nutritional knowledge in the healthcare world. We as individual practitioners realized that a plant based approach was the best for our patients and to be able to consult different specialties under one group would solidify our patient’s health.
