Background
Raised in a family of doctors, Dr. McIlroy has fond memories of poring through his grandfather’s medical books as young as age five. A lifelong interest in natural medicine led him to acupuncture school, followed by intensive training in Ashtanga yoga and Ayurvedic studies in Mysore India. Deciding he wanted to add a medical degree to his eclectic background, he graduated from the University of Arizona under mentorship with Dr. Andrew Weil, and completed a residency in Contra Costa Hospital in Family Medicine. In 2012, he co-founded an innovative mental health clinic.
In his free time, Dr. McIlroy does yoga and ferments food with his family and friends.
