Arbour Longevity › About
Age on your
own terms.
We are a local, woman-owned, clinician-led clinic in Ann Arbor. We use real lab work, careful medicine, and regenerative treatments to help you feel like yourself again, and stay that way.
Our story
Why Arbour exists.
Our founder spent more than thirteen years in hospitals. She saw how much good that system does, and she also saw where it runs out of room. A standard visit is built to rule out disease. It is short by design. Lab reference ranges are drawn from large populations, not from you.
So a person can be tired, foggy, sleeping badly, and gaining weight, and still land inside normal. Nothing is wrong enough to treat. Nothing is right enough to live with.
Arbour was built for that gap. Slow recovery, sleep that stopped working, skin that changed faster than you did — all of it takes time to unpack, and time is what a short visit does not have. We built our visits around that, and we start from the position that you are not exaggerating.
What we hold to
Four things we hold to.
Test, do not guess.
Every plan starts with your history and your labs. If we cannot see it, we do not treat it.
One person, one plan.
No standard packages. Two patients with the same complaint often need two different protocols, because they are two different people.
Safety sets the pace.
There are treatments we will delay and patients we will turn away. That is the reason our patients trust what we do say yes to.
Straight answers.
If a treatment is not right for you, we will tell you, even when it costs us the sale. You should leave a consultation knowing more, not owing more.
Independent
Local, independent,
and staying that way.
Arbour is not a franchise and not a national subscription. We are one clinic on Packard Street, owned by the woman who treats you.
That has practical effects on your care. You see the same clinician at every visit, so nobody starts your history over. Decisions about your plan get made in this building, by the person making them with you. When you call, you reach us.
Ann Arbor is where we live and where our patients live. In a town this size, our reputation is the only marketing that really counts, and we treat it that way.
The practice
Who you will actually see.
Gandhi Bhattarai
FNP-BC · PMHNP-BC · Anti-Aging & Functional Medicine BC
Gandhi is triple board-certified, and the path was not an accident. She started in family medicine, where she learned the whole body. She added psychiatric-mental health certification, because sleep, mood, focus, and stress are not separate from the rest of your physiology — they are part of the same system. Then she moved into functional and longevity medicine, where the goal shifts from managing illness to protecting how well you live.
Before opening Arbour, she spent over thirteen years in hospital-based care. That experience shapes how this clinic runs. Charts are read closely. Contraindications are taken seriously. Labs are ordered before treatments are sold.

In her words
“You are the one who has to live in your body, so you should understand your own plan well enough to explain it to someone else. My job is to bring the testing and the judgment, tell you plainly what I find, and adjust as we learn. The decisions are yours.”
Gandhi Bhattarai, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC
Dominic
ACE-Certified Health Coach · Co-founder
Dominic was a patient at Arbour before he ever worked here. He knows what it feels like to sit on the other side of the room.
He is not the clinician. He does not diagnose, prescribe, or read your labs. What he does is help you carry the plan into a real week: the sleep, the food, the training, the small habits that decide whether a protocol works.
“The clinician handles the medicine. From my side of the room, I help you live it.”
The method
Measure. Treat. Adjust.
That is our whole method, and it is the part most clinics skip. Anyone can start a treatment. The work is in adjusting it. Here is what your first month looks like.
Consultation
We go through your history, your symptoms, and your goals, and order the labs that fit your case. We are gathering facts, not selling. Nothing is decided today.
Your plan
Your results come back. We build a written protocol and explain what each part is for. You should understand your own plan well enough to explain it to someone else.
Results review
About two weeks later, we sit down with your numbers together and adjust from there. Care is a loop, not a purchase. This is where the real work starts.
Who we care for
People who usually find us.
We treat men and women. Our men’s practice is not a side offering, it is a full part of the clinic.
Men in their thirties through fifties who train hard, eat well, and still feel flat, slow to recover, and low on energy.
Men who want a plan run properly — real labs, real monitoring, and adjustments over time instead of set once and forgotten.
Women in their late thirties through fifties whose labs came back normal, and who know something still changed.
People who want their skin handled inside a medical plan rather than separately from one.
Anyone whose hair started thinning and who wants the cause investigated, not just the surface treated.
Anyone who wants a plan built to hold up over years, not weeks.
If you did not see yourself on this list, that is fine. Come talk to us anyway.
Our limits
Where we draw the line.
A clinic is defined as much by what it refuses as by what it offers.
Active cancer
We do not treat patients with active cancer, or anyone in active chemotherapy or radiation. There are no exceptions to this one.
No exceptions
Promised outcomes
We do not promise outcomes. Results are real, and they are individual. We will tell you what the evidence supports and where it stops.
Evidence, not guarantees
Padded plans
We do not add to a plan to make it bigger. If two treatments will do the work, we will not recommend four.
Smallest plan that works
Discounting to close
We do not discount to close a sale. Our pricing is our pricing. If cost is the barrier, we accept HSA and FSA where the service qualifies.
One price, honestly held
Cases that belong elsewhere
We refer out. If your case belongs with a surgeon, a specialist, or your primary care provider, we will say so and help you get there.
We will point you there
Common questions
About the clinic.
Is Arbour a medical clinic or a med spa?
A medical clinic. Every plan is built by a licensed clinician, starts with your history and lab work, and is monitored and adjusted over time. Aesthetic treatments are offered inside that medical framework rather than separately from it.
Does Arbour treat men?
Yes. Our men’s practice is a core part of the clinic, not a side offering — hair restoration, skin and plasma work, and root-cause diagnostics are all built for men as often as for women.
Who is Gandhi Bhattarai?
The founder and lead clinician of Arbour Longevity in Ann Arbor. She is triple board-certified as a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-BC), a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), and in Anti-Aging and Functional Medicine, and practised in hospital-based care for over thirteen years before founding the clinic.
Will I see the same clinician every visit?
Yes. Arbour is a single-clinician practice by design. Protocols depend on someone remembering your last panel and how you responded to it.
Do I need lab work before treatment?
For functional-medicine and longevity care, yes — we do not start those protocols without seeing your numbers first. Some aesthetic and IV services do not require labs, and we will tell you clearly which category your request falls into.
Do you take insurance?
Arbour is a cash-pay clinic, which is what allows for longer visits and a plan built around you rather than around a billing code. We accept HSA and FSA where the service qualifies.
Where is Arbour located?
2217 Packard St #15, Ann Arbor, MI 48104. We see patients from Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti, Saline, Dexter, Chelsea and across Washtenaw County. We treat Thursday through Monday, 10am to 7pm, by appointment.
What happens at the first visit?
A consultation. We review your history, symptoms, and goals, and order the labs that fit your case. Nothing is prescribed or purchased that day — your plan is built once your results come back.
