Welcome to Dr. Newman's
Osteopathic Medical Practice

Dr. Vanessa Newman (she/her) is a California-licensed osteopathic physician board-certified in Osteopathic Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine (ONMM). She's a parent, former competitive athlete, and co-founder of Acorn Community Clinic, a nonprofit dedicated to making osteopathic care accessible to families. Dr. Newman brings both rigorous medical expertise and lived experience to her practice — she understands the physical demands of movement and sport, the vulnerabilities of new parenthood, and the frustration of navigating a medical system that doesn't always see the whole person.

You might be a good fit for Dr. Newman's practice if you:

• Want hands-on, relationship-centered care that treats you as a whole person
• Feel your concerns have been dismissed or fragmented across multiple specialists
• Prefer a provider who listens deeply and takes time to understand your body's story
• Value justice-oriented care and accessibility
• Are drawn to osteopathic medicine's focus on the body's interconnected systems
