Dr. Margaret Ptacek

DNM, MSN, APRN, FNP-BC
Founder | Medical Director | Practitioner
With 26 years in healthcare and more than 10,000 patients cared for over the course of her career, Dr. Margaret Ptacek brings a broad clinical perspective to personalized medicine, prevention, performance, and optimal aging. Her background in family medicine led her to look more closely at the factors that influence health before disease becomes the primary focus. Today, she incorporates genomics, advanced biomarker testing, hormone optimization, orthobiologics, and other individualized treatment strategies to help guide more precise clinical decisions. That perspective also shapes her broader focus on closing the gap between clinical healthcare, physical performance, and optimal aging within a more individualized approach to long-term health. Her clinical approach is also informed by a personal commitment to performance. As an athlete and the mother of athletes, Dr. Ptacek understands the value of maintaining strength, mobility, resilience, and physical capacity over time.

Dr. Andi Stamper

DNP Salina Location
Genetics | Hormone Optimization | Peptides | Ketamine Therapy | Veteran Health
Dr. Andi Stamper is a Doctor of Nursing Practice, a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner, and a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist with more than 20 years in healthcare. Throughout her career, she has seen how chronic disease, untreated mental health concerns, and delayed preventive care can affect both individuals and their families. That perspective has shaped her commitment to proactive, individualized healthcare and long-term well-being. A significant part of Dr. Stamper’s work focuses on expanding access to evidence-informed mental health treatments, including ketamine therapy for patients with depression, anxiety, PTSD, and chronic pain. Her interest in this area is both professional and personal, giving her a strong understanding of how treatment-resistant mental health conditions can affect daily life, relationships, and family systems. During her nurse anesthesia training, Dr. Stamper completed clinical rotations at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Asheville, North Carolina, and Naval Medical Center Camp Lejeune, where she cared for active-duty service members and veterans. Those experiences strengthened her commitment to veteran health and to making advanced treatment options more accessible to military members and their families. Dr. Stamper takes a thoughtful, practical approach to treatment, with recommendations shaped around each patient’s medical history, current concerns, and long-term priorities.
