Greetings. My name is Dr. Victor Zuniga, owner and primary provider at Wellness By Design. Wellness By Design is a medical rejuvenation clinic whose primary goal is global health optimization. We aim to achieve this by helping our patients discover the best versions of themselves by a variety of means. We particularly specialize in hormonal balance, weight management and nutrition, various peptide and nutrient supplementation, sexual and genitourinary health items and exciting stem cell rejuvenation procedures.
I have been practicing Emergency Medicine for the past 25 years, 18 of which have been in Cleveland County. My training and experience both in and out of the hospital have provided me with a breadth of knowledge and medical expertise, ranging from the most minor ailments to the most critically ill patients on the planet. As such, I have built an extensive catalog of medical knowledge and procedural skills covering the entire scope of the medical spectrum.
That being said, I have shifted my focus on helping people achieve the best possible versions of themselves. I’ve channeled my extensive experience in high-pressure emergency settings into founding a wellness practice that emphasizes personalized care and holistic healing.
Born and raised in San Antonio, TX, my journey in medicine began at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, where I earned my Doctor of Medicine degree. Following my education, I
completed my residency in Emergency Medicine at OSF Saint Francis Medical Center in Peoria, IL.
Over the years, I’ve served as a staff physician in various esteemed institutions, including Grand Strand Regional Medical Center and Cleveland Regional Medical Center. My professional path has led me to a rewarding career in emergency medicine, where I’ve built strong relationships with my patients and colleagues. I currently work at Cleveland Regional Medical Center and Kings Mountain Medical Center, where I proudly held leadership roles such as Emergency Department Chair for Carolinas Emergency Physicians.
Beyond my clinical duties, I’m passionate about creating individualized treatment plans and developing meaningful connections with each patient. This approach reflects my belief that personalized care is the cornerstone of effective treatment and overall wellness.
Outside of medicine, I’m a devoted family man. My wife, Veronica Zuniga, and our four children—Aydan, Zoe, Gabriel, and Santiago—keep my life full of joy and activity. I enjoy outdoor adventures like camping, hiking, fly fishing, rock climbing, as well as cooking, wine collecting, and strumming my acoustic guitar.
I’m excited to share my journey with you and to offer you my medical expertise and wellness-focused care. Thank you for visiting, and I look forward to connecting with you soon!
