About Svetlana Pyatigorskaya
Svetlana Pyatigorskaya, NP, is the founder of Svetlana Pyatigorskaya NP in Family Health PC and brings nearly 40 years of professional healthcare experience to the people she serves. She is board certified in Family Medicine and Anti-Aging Medicine, and she naturally weaves both into everyday care.
Svetlana believes good medicine starts with listening deeply to truly understand the problem, not just checking boxes or treating isolated symptoms. She takes time with her patients, gets to know their stories, and creates an individual approach that fits their health needs, lifestyle, and long-term goals. Her care is never rushed and never one-size-fits-all.
She provides insurance-based primary care for adults and families, caring for everyday concerns, chronic conditions, and preventive health with consistency and compassion. At the same time, her background in anti-aging and functional medicine allows her to think beyond the immediate visit and focus on how patients feel, function, and age over time.
Svetlana is also a trained expert in hormone replacement therapy, gender-affirming care and transitioning support, skin rejuvenation, and IV therapies, offering these services when appropriate and always with respect and careful medical judgment.
She strongly believes that patients of all income levels deserve real choices and access to modern medical science, without pressure or judgment. Patients often choose Svetlana because they want a provider who is experienced, open-minded, and genuinely present—someone who treats them as a whole person, not just a diagnosis.
