Start Your Journey with Dr. Desai
Hello, I'm Dr. Poonam Desai
I’m passionate about redefining what it means to live well and age well. As a double board-certified physician and founder of Longevity Place, I help individuals optimize their health, enhance vitality, and extend their health span through personalized, evidence-based care.
My work bridges precision medicine, functional medicine, REGENERATIVE MEDICINE, nutrition, hormone optimization, gut health, GENOMICS, and lifestyle science—empowering patients to take control of their biology and future.
After years in the ER witnessing the toll of preventable diseases, I founded Longevity Place to shift medicine from reactive to proactive, giving patients the time, tools, and partnership they deserve to thrive.
Beyond medicine, I’m a mom, dancer, and lifelong learner—living proof that longevity is about balance, joy, and purpose.
Here’s to a longer, stronger, and more vibrant life.

Dr. Desai bridges science, strategy, and storytelling to inspire action and transform the future of health.
Founder of Longevity Place
Becoming the Founder of Longevity Place was more than a career decision—it was a calling. After years in traditional medicine, I saw firsthand how reactive our healthcare system had become. Patients deserved more than rushed visits and quick fixes. They needed time, personalization, and prevention.
I built Longevity Place to change that—to prioritize proactive, precision-based care that empowers individuals to take ownership of their health long before disease begins.
As a physician, I wanted to bridge science with compassion.
As a founder, I wanted to reimagine what healthcare could look like when patients are treated as partners, not numbers.
At Longevity Place, we spend time—truly understanding your story, your data, and your goals. Using advanced diagnostics, genetics, and longevity biomarkers, we create personalized strategies that prevent disease, optimize performance, and extend healthspan.
Because longevity isn’t just about living longer—it’s about living better, with clarity, vitality, and purpose.
