Indigo Health Clinic

What Indigo Health Clinic does

Indigo Health Clinic is a privately held, family-run integrative and functional medicine practice based in Washington, D.C., founded in 2011 by Dr. Isabel Sharkar, NMD. Operating from a single office at 1010 Wisconsin Ave., NW (Suite 660), it provides root-cause treatment for complex chronic conditions — including Lyme disease, autoimmune and thyroid disorders, hormonal imbalances, digestive disorders, chronic fatigue, cancer, and detoxification cases — to a primarily adult, predominantly female patient base in the DC tri-state area (DC, Maryland, Virginia) and via telehealth to a broader US catchment. The practice reports serving more than 3,500 patients since founding and maintains a 4.8 Google rating.

The service catalog combines fully virtual new-patient and follow-up consultations (90-120 minutes for initial visits) with an in-clinic offering anchored by D.C.'s first clinician-led IV therapy clinic. It deploys advanced specialty diagnostics — DUTCH testing, GI stool analysis, genetic analysis, micronutrient and hormone panels, RGCC oncology testing, heavy metals, food sensitivities, and Organic Acids Testing — alongside therapeutic modalities such as chelation (EDTA, DTPA), NAD+ IV therapy, Insulin Potentiation Therapy, ZYTO bioenergetic scanning, ETPS, Medical Qi Gong, botanical medicine, and clinical nutritional counseling. Revenue is generated through direct-pay professional service fees for consultations, IV therapy, and lab testing, supplemented by recurring monthly subscription Targeted Health Programs and a medical-grade supplement e-commerce storefront. The clinic does not accept insurance.

Indigo is a small (1-10 employees) operation without institutional capital, proprietary software, or AI capabilities. Customer acquisition relies on educational content (blog, monthly "Indigo Insights" newsletter), free 20-minute Discovery Calls, and significant earned media (CNN, MSNBC, goop, Elle, HuffPost, Bravo, Journey to Glow podcast), with patient referrals and testimonials serving as the primary conversion channels. HIPAA compliance, CCPA and GDPR privacy disclosures, and standard digital infrastructure (patient portal, wellness curriculum platform, ActiveCampaign, Google Analytics, Mixpanel) constitute the operating technology layer.
