Co-Founder & Medical Director | Board-Certified Physician
The Physician Behind True Roots
Dr. Valle’s approach was always root-cause. Even in primary care, he was running full panels, looking at hormones, asking the questions most physicians skip. But insurance-based medicine has limits. Peptides aren’t covered. Functional labs get denied. The system rewards treating symptoms, not investigating them. He knew the medicine he wanted to practice needed a different setting.
It started with hair loss. Patients kept coming in losing their hair, and the standard options — finasteride or a $15,000 transplant — didn’t fit everyone. Dr. Valle researched what else existed, something innovative with real clinical evidence behind it. That search led him to the Lumenis Folix, a laser platform with published results that actually held up. That machine became the cornerstone, and True Roots was built around it.
What began as a male-focused aesthetics practice grew into something broader. Patients needed more than hair restoration. They needed hormone optimization, targeted IVs, peptide protocols — the full picture. Dr. Valle’s philosophy in medicine kept pushing the practice forward: not just aesthetics, but real wellness. Men came first because they felt comfortable here. Now the practice serves patients across every walk of life, because the approach works regardless of who’s sitting in the chair.
At True Roots, Dr. Valle personally oversees hormone optimization, peptide protocols, and all aesthetic treatments. Supporting staff is involved, but every plan runs through him before anything is done. He sees every patient. He reviews every set of labs. There is no hand-off.

“My approach was always root-cause — even when the system didn’t make room for it. True Roots gave me the freedom to practice medicine the way I always wanted to: investigate first, treat the whole person, and connect how patients feel on the inside with how they look on the outside.”
Dr. Valle believes that aesthetics and health are not separate categories. A patient whose hormones are optimized will see better results from aesthetic treatments. A patient who addresses nutrient deficiencies will recover faster, age differently, and feel the difference in their energy, cognition, and appearance.
This is the inside-out approach that defines True Roots. It starts with data: your bloodwork, your hormones, your biology. Then it builds a plan that addresses everything, not just the surface.
