Meet Salwa Bakkali-Derksen: A Specialist in Internal Medicine

Dr. Salwa Bakkali-Derksen is a highly skilled internal medicine physician with extensive experience in treating diabetes, obesity, hypertension, and heart disease. She has a strong interest in rheumatology, naturopathic medicine, and women’s health. With over a decade of experience as both a hospitalist and outpatient clinician at Mayo Clinic for the last 7 years , Dr. Bakkali-Derksen is renowned for providing outstanding patient care.

In addition to her clinical expertise, Dr. Bakkali-Derksen brings professional experience in quality assurance, teaching, and mentorship. Her academic achievements include degrees in computer and biological sciences, culminating in a Doctorate in Osteopathic Medicine. Her clinical interests extend to osteopathic manipulation and hormone replacement therapy. Having worked in various hospital systems across multiple states, she is also fluent in three languages, enabling her to connect with a diverse patient population.

I am deeply grateful for the compassionate and comprehensive care I’ve received from Dr. Derksen. After struggling with ulcerative colitis and other chronic autoimmune health challenges for many years, I finally feel heard, supported, and genuinely cared for.Dr. Derksen combines her traditional medical training and clinical experience with a holistic and integrative approach to healing. She conducted thorough bloodwork and diagnostic testing to uncover the underlying issues affecting my health—something no other provider had done with such care and precision. As a result, she was able to offer targeted treatments and meaningful support that have significantly improved my quality of life. Among the many things she has helped me with, she provides IV hydration and nutritional infusions to support my long-standing digestive issues, as well as hormone replacement therapy, as my hormone levels were extremely low due to chronic illness. These treatments have brought relief and strength in ways I had not thought possible.Her clinic offers more than just medical care—it provides hope. For those living with complex, long-term conditions, it is a place where healing is approached with both science and empathy, and where the goal is not just to treat symptoms but to help people truly thrive.

We offer a wide range of services including injectables, dermal fillers, hormone replacement therapy, IV hydration, and medical weight loss. Our team of experts will personalize your treatment plan to optimize your outcomes.

How does IV hydration work?
