Are you:
❀ Tired of quick-fix medication appointments that don’t truly heal?
❀ Frustrated by the lack of holistic, whole-person care in conventional medicine?
❀ Longing for a provider who actually listens and understands?
I get it—I’ve lived it.
I’ve felt it in my own body. I’ve watched loved ones suffer at the hands of a system that often treats symptoms instead of people. And I’ve seen patients get lost in prescriptions that never brought them closer to real health.
👉 Imagine stepping on a nail and going to the doctor. Instead of removing the nail, they hand you pain medication. Later, an antibiotic. Still, no one removes the nail. The wound festers. The real problem remains.
That’s how modern healthcare too often works—layering treatments while missing the root.
Eventually I realized: staying in that system wasn’t enough. True healing requires time, curiosity, and the courage to look beneath the surface.
Hi, I’m Veronica Johnson, FNP-C, PMHNP-BC (Family Nurse Practitioner-Certified, Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner-Board Certified), a licensed medical provider specializing in root-cause healing. At White Oak Medicine, I have the freedom to do what conventional medicine doesn’t often hold space for—taking the time to truly understand your health concerns and address them at their source.
Through a holistic and functional medicine approach, I help people safely taper unnecessary medications and regulate their nervous system, allowing the body to restore health naturally. But healing isn’t just about the physical—it’s about uncovering what’s really beneath the surface.
I draw on my professional training, personal healing, and lived experience to provide whole-person care—supporting metabolic health, reducing inflammation, balancing the nervous system, and addressing the impact of chronic stress—moving beyond the “pill for every ill” mindset.
I know firsthand that real healing takes work. It’s not always the easiest path, but meaningful transformation doesn’t come from quick fixes. I’m committed to that work—for myself and for those I serve.

At White Oak Medicine, we take a mindful approach to medication—helping you heal naturally, reduce reliance on prescriptions that may no longer be serving you, and restore balance—mentally, emotionally, and physically.
Polypharmacy—especially in older adults—has become the norm, leading to unnecessary side effects, worsening health, and dependence on more medications to counteract the effects of others. It’s shortening our lifespan and our quality of life.
If you've ever felt like you're just collecting prescriptions without getting healthier, you're not alone. I take the time to evaluate what’s working, what’s necessary, and what might be keeping you stuck—or even making you worse—so you can regain control of your health and feel like yourself again.
We use functional medicine lab testing and a root-cause lens to identify underlying imbalances—instead of masking symptoms. Whether you’re struggling with fatigue, inflammation, blood sugar swings, or chronic conditions that no one seems to understand, we’ll work together to get to the bottom of it.
At White Oak Medicine, we'll help you get to the root cause of your discomfort.
