Dr. Fuerstman is a board-certified osteopathic family physician specializing in neuromuscular medicine, integrative wellness, and mental health support. He brings expertise in functional nutrition, mindfulness-based stress reduction, and ketamine-assisted therapy for treatment-resistant depression and anxiety.
After earning his DO from Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, he trained in integrative family medicine before leading Preventive Medicine Vermont. A founding member of the Psychedelic Society of Vermont, he is committed to root-cause healing and whole-person care.
When he's not in the office, Hobie is spending time with his wife and young daughter, enjoying an evening jog, or playing with the beloved family (and clinic!) pup, Moonpie.
Dr. Farr specializes in prevention-focused care, with a passion for heart health, hormone balance, and lifestyle medicine. She has a strong focus on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for perimenopause and menopause, helping women navigate evidence-based options for better long-term health.
A Doctorate-prepared Family Nurse Practitioner from Maryville University, Alison is currently completing certification as a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner. When she’s not in the clinic, you’ll find her training for marathons or exploring the outdoors with her family.
When she's not in the office, she's either training for a marathon, hiking in the mountains, setting up a trellis for her pole beans, or planning the next family adventure.
Michayla heads up our clinic in Stowe and is passionate about primary care. She brings a holistic approach to healthcare, combining her background in cardiology, emergency medicine, and family practice to support individuals at every stage of health.
She earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences in Boston and continued with a Master's degree as a Family Nurse Practitioner from Drexel University. She is dedicated to building strong patient relationships and providing full-spectrum care, from managing acute illnesses to supporting chronic conditions.
When she's not in the office, Michayla enjoys exploring Vermont with her family....discovering hidden swimming holes, savoring a delicious creemee, or enjoying a night of live music.
In addition to facilitating M.O.R.E. Group Medical Visits, Erin offers Lifestyle and Mind-Body Medicine Consultations for patients seeking new ways to ease the impact of stress on their health. Her work bridges conventional medicine with integrative practices.
She earned her nursing degree from Penn State University, became a certified Health Coach through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, and completed yoga training at the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health. She recently completed an Integrative Health Fellowship and is pursuing Board Certification in Lifestyle Medicine while continuing to care for people living with chronic pain, trauma, depression, and anxiety.
Outside the office, Erin enjoys gardening, skiing and hiking with her husband, kids, and dog, and advocating in the community for children with special needs.
M.O.R.E. stands for Mindfulness, Open awareness, Resilience, and Education and M.O.R.E. Group Medical Visits are medical appointments (not a traditional "support group") held in a small group setting. Instead of a typical one-on-one visit, patients meet together with a Nurse Practitioner (Erin Bingham) to learn mind-body skills, explore stress management strategies, and receive medical care in a supportive environment. These visits are covered by insurance and are designed to help with conditions like anxiety, depression, and chronic pain, while also reducing the isolation that often comes with living with these challenges.

Led by our clinic consultant, Erin Bingham, Group Medical Visits (GMVs) offer us a sanctuary and structure to navigate the effects the world can leave on us. At their core, GMVs represent a unique approach to healthcare, one where you’re not just a listener but an active participant, sharing your journey, learning from others, and understanding more about yourself. In essence, GMVs offer a pathway to emotional well-being that is both scientifically grounded and deeply human, providing a rare opportunity to transform your health journey from a solitary endeavor into a shared voyage of discovery and healing. In the 8-week group medical visit sessions at Preventive Medicine, you’ll experience the transformative benefits of Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement (M.O.R.E).
Some specific benefits of M.O.R.E include:
Reduction of PTSD symptoms
Reductions in cravings
Increased experiences of pleasure
Connection to a sense of deeper meaning in life
Easier access to more positive emotional states
Improved heart rate variability (body copes with stress/anxiety better)
Reduce feelings of depression
Reduced experiences of pain
