Meet Dr. Karen DeVore, ND
Your Partner in Lasting, Whole-Person Wellness

-
Targeted nutritional guidance and medical-grade supplements
-
Botanical medicine and herbal remedies
-
Lifestyle modifications for long-term balance
-
Holistic support for primary care, fertility, detox, menopause, and beyond
-
Since acquiring and expanding Tortoise Clinic in 2022, Dr. DeVore has grown it into a comprehensive integrative center offering primary care, therapeutic massage, bodywork, acupuncture, specialty testing, and advanced therapies—all designed to support every stage of life for individuals and families.
She’s honored to contribute to the global shift toward integrative medicine and has served as team physician for international athletic groups, Medical Director for a national supplement company, and over 13 years in private practice, bringing the same commitment lasting health to her local community on Florida’s Emerald Coast.
Patients describe her as compassionate, encouraging, and profoundly knowledgeable—someone who listens deeply and partners with you to create real, lasting change.
