The Story Behind the Practice
From Loss to Mission
When Dr. Agolli's father was diagnosed with cancer in his early 40s, he was gone within six months. That loss changed the trajectory of Dr. Agolli's life. An Air Force veteran who served on the Special Operations 1721st Combat Control Team, he had no prior connection to medicine. His father's death sent him searching for better answers than conventional medicine had been able to provide.
He started a clinic from nothing in Florida. When his daughter needed open heart surgery and the best care was in Georgia, he moved the entire family to Atlanta. Over the decades since, he has built Progressive Medical Center into a multidisciplinary team of physicians, naturopaths, nurse practitioners, chiropractors, and specialists who work together under one roof.
Dr. Agolli has been practicing integrative medicine since long before it went mainstream. When the field was still called "alternative" or "holistic," he was already building a model of care where physicians, naturopaths, nurse practitioners, chiropractors, and nutritionists collaborate on every patient's treatment.
Outside the practice, Dr. Agolli has been married to his wife Donna for more than 34 years, and is a father and grandfather. He has also hosted medically compromised children through Childspring International, a nonprofit that connects children from developing countries with life-changing medical care in the United States.
"In functional integrative medicine, we think out of the box. In fact, there is no box."

Media & Thought Leadership
Dr. Agolli has hosted the Progressive Medical Hour of Power! radio show, and today leads the Rethink My Health podcast, covering current medical topics through an integrative and functional medicine lens. His appearance on the Josh Axe podcast drew patients to PMC from across the United States and as far as Saudi Arabia.
He is the author of "Why Healthcare is Not Working in America" (his doctoral thesis in Public Health) and "Minerals... The Spark Plugs of Life" (his doctoral thesis in Nutrition). He has also coached and trained other practitioners in integrative clinical methods.

How It Works
How Dr. Agolli Shapes Your Care
Every patient at PMC benefits from the system Dr. Agolli designed, even though they'll work directly with other providers on the clinical team. The multidisciplinary model means your care isn't limited to one doctor's expertise. Your physician, naturopath, nutritionist, and diagnostics team share your case and coordinate your treatment in the same facility.
The therapies available to you (EBOO, IV therapy, hyperbaric oxygen, Weber Endolaser, peptide therapy, and more) are here because Dr. Agolli identified them, tested them, and built the infrastructure to deliver them safely and effectively.
When you call PMC, a care coordinator matches you with the right provider based on your health needs. You don't need to choose a doctor before your first call.
