Buckhead Ridge sits where the Kissimmee River meets the north-west shore of Lake Okeechobee, a community built around the water and largely made up of retirees, seasonal residents and families who have fished these canals for generations. It is close enough to Okeechobee that a morning appointment costs you almost nothing in windshield time, and far enough from any city that root-cause medicine has never been a realistic option locally.

Why Buckhead Ridge Patients Make The Drive

  • A ten-minute drive on State Road 78, no interstate and no city traffic
  • Same-week consultations instead of a months-long wait for a specialist
  • Seasonal residents can compress testing, results and a treatment plan into one winter
  • Lab work drawn in-house rather than at a separate facility an hour away

What We See Most From Buckhead Ridge

A large share of Buckhead Ridge lives here part of the year. That shapes how we schedule: if you are north from May to October, we build your panel, review and protocol around the months you are actually in Florida, and handle follow-ups by phone in between.

Common Questions

How far is Zen Medicine from Buckhead Ridge?

About ten miles. Most patients take State Road 78 east into Okeechobee and reach the clinic at 808 N Parrott Ave in roughly fifteen minutes.

I am only in Florida for the winter. Can you still treat me?

Yes. Seasonal patients are a normal part of the practice. We front-load testing and the treatment plan while you are here and keep follow-ups going by phone once you head north.
