Dr. Heather Volpe trained at Cedars-Sinai and UCLA, spent 15 years in traditional allergy and immunology, and kept seeing the same thing: patients who looked fine on paper but weren't getting better. That pattern led her to found Synergy O3 in Encinitas, where she now practices integrative medicine with a focus on ozone dialysis therapy and the upstream role of inflammation in chronic disease.
