Get straightforward information about our clinical offerings, wellness philosophy, and what you can expect as a partner in your health journey.

  • What makes VitalHealth Partners different from other wellness clinics?

    VitalHealth Partners stands out by putting real-food nutrition at the center of every health plan. Our practice is MD-led, guided by Dr. Todd Pesek’s expertise in both ethnobotanical wisdom and modern medical science. We focus on restoring natural physiology, not just symptom relief, for patients throughout Westlake, Willoughby Hills, and the Greater Cleveland area.

  • Are you a primary care provider or do you work with my existing doctor?

    We are not primary care providers. Our team works with your current medical specialists to support your health goals. We provide integrative and functional medicine services and ensure open communication with your established care team whenever needed.

  • What is the 'Food First' philosophy and why is it important?

    Our 'Food First' approach means every wellness plan starts with nutrient-rich foods. We believe nutrition is the foundation of health, with supplements, IV therapies, and other interventions used as support when needed. This philosophy helps restore your body’s natural balance for lasting vitality.

  • What types of services and therapies do you offer in Westlake and Willoughby Hills?

    We offer integrative medicine consultations, proprietary blood panels (VHOP), IV vitamin infusions, hormone optimization, thermography, colon hydrotherapy, and more. The Westlake location also features infrared sauna and hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Each service is guided by Dr. Pesek’s clinical expertise.

  • Who can benefit from your services and what health concerns do you address?

    Our partners include individuals aged 30 to 100, from those already healthy and seeking longevity to those managing chronic illness. We address root causes behind fatigue, hormonal imbalance, digestive distress, autoimmune issues, and more, with personalized wellness plans for each person.

  • Do you accept insurance or offer out-of-network reimbursement?

    VitalHealth Partners does not bill insurance directly. Some services may qualify for out-of-network reimbursement or HSA/FSA payment. We recommend checking with your insurance provider and can supply the documentation needed for your claims.

  • Are your supplements and IV therapies safe and medically supervised?

    Yes. All supplements and infusions are formulated or approved by Dr. Todd Pesek, MD, and administered by licensed nurses (RN, BSN). Our protocols prioritize safety and are designed to complement your existing medical care, not replace it.

  • How do I get started with VitalHealth Partners and what is the first step?

    Begin by scheduling a consultation in either Westlake or Willoughby Hills. Your first visit includes a comprehensive assessment and, if needed, proprietary bloodwork (VHOP). From there, Dr. Pesek and the team create a wellness plan rooted in nutrition, lifestyle, and targeted therapies.
