Our History
I founded Turnpaugh Health in 1999 with a conviction that has never wavered: patients deserve more than a fifteen-minute visit and a prescription. I built this practice around what conventional care kept overlooking, that how a person eats, moves, sleeps, and lives shapes their health more powerfully than almost anything else. Then it got personal. My own family has lived with Lyme disease, MS, Fragile X Syndrome, and allergies, and I know what it feels like to be told your labs look normal when you know something is wrong. That search for real answers is still the heart of Turnpaugh Health, where our whole-body care team takes the time to ask better questions, test further, and dig until the underlying cause is clear.
Our Journey
In 2008, a cycling accident took me out of practice for eighteen months and several surgeries. It was the hardest stretch of my career, and it turned out to be the turning point. With time to think, I went deeper into Functional Medicine than I ever could have while seeing a full schedule, and my wife, Heather, stepped in to lead the business side so I could put everything I had into patient care. We came back stronger, and with a much clearer sense of the practice we wanted to build.
Growth followed. In 2014 we moved into our current home at 310 Lambs Gap Road in Mechanicsburg. Dr. Regina Smith joined us in 2015, our first Lancaster County office opened in 2019, and Strasburg and Enola followed, with Enola opening in 2025. Today our whole-body care team brings together medical, Chiropractic, Naturopathic, nursing, nutrition, and behavioral health expertise, supported by the nurses, assistants, therapists, technicians, and Patient Care Coordinators who make that care possible. Different training, one shared standard: find the cause, treat the whole person, and give every patient the time it takes.
