Iman Tamimi, MD is an emergency medicine trained physician based in North Carolina. Her clinical work spans emergency departments, urgent care,and concierge practice, with a particular interest in the broader picture of health: how the body responds not only to disease and injury, but to emotional experience, environment, and the larger patterns of a life.
In addition to her clinical work, Dr. Tamimi offers private mentorship globally for select individuals seeking thoughtful, personalized guidance. Her approach integrates medicine with spiritual and metaphysical counsel, creating space for a fuller understanding of each person's experience. She approaches each client as an individual rather than a category, taking time to understand the full landscape of what is happening.
What animates this work is a simple conviction: that good medicine begins with curiosity.
