Dr. Mimier began his medical career in Family Medicine after graduating from Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine. While the time he spent in an inpatient-heavy Family Medicine residency at Cabarrus Family Medicine Residency Program was clinically invaluable, he found himself drawn more to the prevention of those diseases rather than just the treatment – a proactive approach rather than reactive. He wanted to spend more time discussing with patients how they can avoid or reverse the illnesses and diseases they were experiencing. As a result, he decided to pursue a non-insurance based model of medicine that would give him the freedom to practice “wellness care” rather than “sick care.”

Dr Mimier’s approach focuses  on lifestyle management complemented with hormone optimization to help patients avoid or reverse many diseases and illnesses that are common but preventable, such as insulin resistance, type II diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, cardiovascular disease, etc. At Virginia Preventive Medicine and Wellness we heavily stress the importance of hormone optimization founded on evidence-based medicine, but we also recognize that hormones cannot and will not fix everything. They are but one piece of the puzzle that makes up the whole picture of health. However, when your hormones are not normal or optimized then your efforts to become healthy can prove difficult due to a lack of energy, motivation, poor metabolism, and inability to add lean muscle mass. It takes willpower, determination, and a change in our behavior and lifestyle to stay healthy, but every year thousands of people do it successfully and reap the benefits in their metabolic, cardiovascular, and sexual function.

Outside of seeing patients in his clinic, Dr Mimier has a wide variety of hobbies. He enjoys spending time with his wife and daughter and exploring the hidden corners of Virginia and the Carolinas. He also enjoys hiking, camping, fishing, kayaking, biking, herpetology, and flying airplanes.
