Today we’d like to introduce you to Dr. Tiffany Di Pietro.
Hi Dr. Tiffany, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I was born and raised in Fort Pierce, a small-ish town on Florida’s Treasure Coast. Growing up in a tight-knit community shaped a lot of who I am – it taught me the value of knowing your neighbors, showing up for people, and keeping your word.
I started medical school at 19, which meant I was learning medicine at the same time I was really learning how to be an adult. I had to grow up quickly – not just academically, but personally. Those years forced me to develop discipline, resilience, and a strong sense of who I wanted to be as a physician and as a person.
That foundation ultimately led me to where I am today: a physician who is passionate about preventive care, long-term relationships with patients, and creating a medical practice that feels both high-tech and deeply personal. Starting young and coming from a smaller town gave me a unique perspective, and it’s still what grounds the way I practice medicine today.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Starting medical school so young meant I was almost always the youngest person in the room, and for a long time I felt like I had to prove that I deserved to be there. I had to fight for my opinions to be heard and taken seriously – not just as a trainee, but as a young adult who also happened to be a woman in a very male-dominated field.
There were times when patients assumed I was the nurse or the student, not the doctor. To this day actually this is a daily occurrence. I’ve had my recommendations second-guessed or repeated by an older male colleague and suddenly they were accepted. Early on, that was frustrating and honestly a little exhausting. It pushed me to be over-prepared, to know the data cold, and to develop a clear, confident voice even when I felt intimidated.
Over time, those challenges shaped me. They forced me to set boundaries, advocate for myself, and get really comfortable backing up my decisions. They also made me deeply committed to supporting other women in medicine and to creating clinical spaces where everyone – regardless of age or gender – is respected for their expertise.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about Di Pietro Health?
My practice, Di Pietro Health, is a concierge internal medicine and preventive cardiology practice based in South Florida. In simple terms: we’re the place people come when they’re ready to stop putting out fires and start truly planning their health for the long term.
I’m triple board-certified in internal medicine, echocardiography and cardiology, and we specialize in prevention, cardiometabolic health, and longevity-focused care. That includes everything from advanced lipid testing and imaging (like cardiac CT angiograms and carotid ultrasounds) to detailed risk stratification, weight management, and hormone- and lifestyle-focused optimization. We take care of everyday primary care needs, but with a very deep, cardiology-driven understanding of what’s happening under the surface.
What sets us apart is the way we deliver care. We intentionally keep our patient panel small so we can be accessible and present. My patients have direct access to me and my team, longer visits, same- or next-day appointments when needed, and a lot of education around why we’re doing what we’re doing. Our office is very modern and tech-forward, but still warm and personal – it feels more like a calming, elevated space than a traditional, rushed clinic.
Brand-wise, I’m most proud that people consistently tell us, “I feel seen here.” The brand is built around three things: high-level expertise, empathy, and honesty. We’re not a “quick fix” or a vanity wellness shop; we’re a medical practice that uses evidence-based tools, advanced diagnostics, and real relationships to help people live longer, better, and with more control over their health.
What I want readers to know is that concierge medicine doesn’t have to mean impersonal luxury – in our world it means access, prevention, and partnership. Whether someone comes to us for cardiovascular risk, complex medical issues, or simply to age well and feel their best, our goal is always the same: to treat them like family and give them the kind of care we would want for ourselves.
Is there anything else you’d like to share with our readers?
I’d love for readers to know that you don’t have to “earn” great medical care by already being perfectly healthy or having everything together. My favorite patients are the real ones – the busy, stressed, juggling-a-million-things humans who say, “I know I need to do better, I just don’t know where to start.” That’s exactly where we come in.
I also want to encourage people, especially women, to trust their instincts. If something doesn’t feel right with your health, or you don’t feel heard, it’s okay to ask more questions or find a doctor who will really listen. You are not “difficult” for advocating for yourself.
From where I began, I’m incredibly grateful to now be in a position to care for my community in such a personal way. If you take anything from my story, I hope it’s this: you’re allowed to expect more from your healthcare – more time, more answers, more prevention, and more partnership. And there are doctors and practices out there who are building exactly that.
