Biography
Dr. Charity Kates is an accomplished family physician who employs the full range of science-based healthcare strategies for preventive medicine as well as the full range of Family Medicine. Among those strategies, her practice also relies on her long training in integrative medicine.
While getting her medical degree at the Pennsylvania State University College of Medicine, she participated in the Complementary and Alternative Medical Program (CAM) where she shadowed and learned from integrative medical practitioners. During residency, she worked at an integrative medicine physician’s office. There, she learned more about Integrative practices. More recently, she received her certification in functional medicine from the Institute of Functional Medicine (IFM).
Her current practice is integrative, mixing those traditional science-backed medical techniques with functional-medicine options. She is a board-certified family medicine physician and was previously employed by Atrium Health and Novant Health. Under this system she worked as a Medical Director for an outpatient family medicine office.
She has been recognized by the National Committee on Quality Assurance for both Patient Centered Medical Home Level 3 certification and for Diabetes Management.
A big believer in giving back to her community, she has given multiple community talks about hypertension, kidney disease, and heart disease.
Before joining WellcomeMD, Dr. Kates worked for Parsley Health and ran her own wellness practice where she incorporated basic education in integrative modalities, including nutrition, mindfulness, movement, stress management, yoga, and meditation.
When she is not helping clients, she enjoys spending time with family and friends, traveling, cooking, and practicing yoga and meditation.

Physician-Led Anti-Aging
We treat the loss of strength, vitality, and sexual function that can accompany aging by understanding and treating the root causes of these symptoms. Cardiometabolic health, hormone balance, gut health, and other factors can have major impact on how you feel and perform.
90-Minute Annual Physical
We emphasize our thorough annual physical examination, which includes a series of test to chart changes in a patient’s profile. These tests are the foundation for effective health recommendations.

Our job does not stop with good advice. We create, manage, and help you execute a plan for your optimal health. We are there for you 24/7 by text, email, and phone.

Standard labs look for the most common indicators but don't take into account your personal thresholds and history. Our advanced lab panels and genetic profiling go far beyond the ordinary to detect issues before they affect your health.
Physician-Led Weight Loss
Weight loss resistance is a frustrating reality for many. While calories in/calories out matter, your hormones may matter more. We test and optimize key hormones that contribute to your sense of well being, metabolism, calorie burn, fat retention, and hunger.
