Dr. Jennifer Wicher ND

Dr. Jennifer Wicher is a licensed Naturopathic Doctor and the Medical Director of Synergy Natural Medicine Clinic.  She has worked in private practice at Synergy since 2003.

Dr. Wicher maintains a general medical practice and is a leading expert in the use of diet, nutrition, supplementation and a wide variety of holistic therapies to treat many different health problems.  Her combined experience working in both the standard medical system, and as a Naturopathic Doctor, provides her with tremendous insight into effectively treating patients’ health problems.   

Prior to opening Synergy, Dr. Wicher worked for more than 10 years as a physical therapist and athletic trainer in a wide variety of healthcare settings – from hospitals to nursing homes and rehabilitation centers.  Her experience working in the conventional health care system, learning both its strengths and weaknesses, convinced Dr. Wicher to attend Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine – where she was valedictorian of her class in 2002.  In 2003, she moved back to California and opened Synergy Natural Medicine Clinic.

In addition to her private practice, Dr. Wicher was an adjunct professor at the USC School of Pharmacy from 2005 through 2007 and had the pleasure of teaching pharmacy students about nutrition and naturopathic medicine.  In her free time, Dr. Wicher lectures on preventive medicine, nutrition, and other various health topics in a variety of venues in Los Angeles and the San Gabriel Valley.

From her previous work as a physical therapist, Dr. Wicher has a special interest in rehabilitation programs for patients who are recovering from surgery, both orthopedic surgery and general surgery.  By minimizing inflammation and enhancing the body’s natural recovery processes from the trauma of surgery, she has helped many patients recover quicker from surgery, with far less pain and a better long term prognosis. 

Dr. Wicher practices what she preaches.  She maintains a very healthy and active lifestyle. She still surfs and mountain bikes regularly and plays soccer intermittently.  Always full of energy and enthusiasm, Dr. Jen is knowledgeable, practical, and takes great pride in helping her patients along the road to better health.
