About Dr. Taz, founder of hol+


As a pioneer in merging systems of medicine together, double board certified integrative medicine physician Dr. Taz Bhatia is on a mission to provide the world with true, holistic medicine that combines a unique integration of science, spirit, and the human experience. Faced with personal health challenges in her twenties and a health care system that was dismissive, Dr. Taz turned to nutrition, homeopathy and Eastern medical wisdom for answers. What she found was a wealth of information not yet taught in conventional medical schools.  Passionate to share this new knowledge, she opened CentreSpringMD in Atlanta, a nationally recognized holistic and integrative medical practice designed to treat the whole family.  Fifteen years later, Dr. Taz has scaled the practice and opened locations in LA and NYC, along with an expanded global telehealth platform. A veteran media and television contributor, she currently serves as a TODAY contributor, First for Women columnist, and a FOX5 news expert. Her recent book, The Hormone Shift, named by Book Riot as one of “The Best Menopause Books,” landed at #1 in Amazon’s coveted Best Sellers Ranking List and exploded in popularity garnering worldwide attention. The book is now available in India and Portugal, with more countries to come, helping to fuel the growth of her international telehealth business. From primary care to chronic disease management and specialty care, Dr. Taz has led the growth of CentreSpringMD from a solo provider practice with 2 employees to a multi clinic company with 4 locations and a global telehealth platform with over 50 employees. Dr. Taz’s clinics continue to garner medical awards, including Best Georgia practice and Atlanta’s Top Doc recognitions.
