Vicki Sara Blumberg, MD, is board-certified in internal medicine with 30 years of experience. In 2017, she will have a new office in Ridgefield in addition to a fresh collaboration with Elizabeth Jorgenson at Insight Counseling.

Blumberg started her career in a large family practice in New Fairfield, followed by a solo Danbury-based practice where she cared for over 4,000 patients for many years. After developing an autoimmune disease, she took a detour from clinical practice to pursue clinical research. Blumberg opened a clinical research investigator site in Ridgefield and participated in over 20 clinical trials, including a landmark trial regarding the influenza vaccine for the elderly.

She focuses on a more holistic way of looking at 21^st century illnesses—especially allergic, autoimmune and chronic illnesses—the relationship between the immune system and the microbiome, and the field of low dose immunotherapy. Treatment of Lyme disease is a particular specialty of hers.

Elizabeth Jorgensen, the founder and director of Insight Counseling, will work together with Blumberg to care for patients struggling with the emotional and physical binds of addiction. Blumberg will be sharing the treatment of patients suffering from opiate use disorder. As an additional service, she is able to certify patients for Connecticut’s medical marijuana program, only when deemed appropriate and in the patient’s best interest, according to the guidelines set by the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection.
