About Your Care in Wisconsin
Fragmented care is the norm: a cardiologist here, an endocrinologist there, nobody looking at the whole file. Dr. Shakeilla Smithbey, MD, works the other way — coordinating with your existing specialists so one plan holds together. She sees Wisconsin patients in Milwaukee, Madison, Green Bay, Kenosha, Racine, Appleton, Oshkosh, Eau Claire, La Crosse, and Wausau, plus the Fox Valley, Driftless region, and northern lake counties.
Wisconsin is on Central Time, so appointments run 8:30 AM – 4:30 PM CT, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.
At Tree of Life Integrative Family Medicine, healthcare goes beyond treating symptoms. We combine evidence-based primary care with lifestyle medicine and integrative healthcare principles — looking at nutrition, sleep, stress, movement, relationships, and emotional well-being — to address the whole person, not just the disease.
