Ilya Dubovoy, M.D.

Dr. Ilya Dubovoy is a board-certified Neurologist and trained medical acupuncturist.


Dr. Dubovoy received his BS in Chemistry (with a minor in French and Francophone Studies) from the College of William & Mary before his 18th birthday. He went on to complete his medical doctorate at Tulane University School of Medicine in New Orleans. He completed his residency in neurology at Houston Methodist Hospital in Texas and studied medical acupuncture for physicians at the Helms Medical Institute.

​

With a strong interest in integrative and functional medicine, nutrition, pharmacology, and applied biology, Dr. Dubovoy chose neurology because working with the nervous system allowed him to treat his patients holistically. In his practice, he follows the advice of Asclepius, “First the word, then the herb, lastly the knife.” This approach enables him to build upon the basics of disease prevention and health maintenance with his patients from both a top-down (systemic and psycho-spiritual) and bottom-up (biochemical and energetic) approach to the human being.

​

Born in the Ukrainian town of Simferopol on the Black Sea, Dr. Dubovoy grew up in Richmond and is fluent in English and Russian, while also speaking conversational French. He also enjoys gardening, cooking with local, farm-fresh produce and spending time with his wife and their young family.
