Dr. Michael Repplinger

Administrative Physician

Dr. Repplinger is a Wisconsin native, growing up in the Milwaukee suburbs and moving to the Madison area for his medical training, where he has been for almost 20 years. As a board-certified emergency physician, he has witnessed firsthand how our current healthcare system has failed patients suffering from addiction. For the past 4 years, he has dedicated significant effort to learning as much as possible about the optimal care for addiction disorders, especially opioid and alcohol use disorders. As one of three physicians at Monarch Health, Dr. Repplinger has helped to create a treatment program that thinks outside of the typical “medical mindset,” providing a well-rounded and patient-centered approach to the recovery process. He also takes this philosophy outside of the clinic walls, advocating for patients at the state-level (legislature, governor’s office, and state medical societies), aiming to improve the quality of care provided to patients with mental health and substance abuse needs.

Marta received her Master of Science in Nursing-Family Nurse Practitioner degree in 2018 and is board-certified by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC). She is MAT-certified, has received her X-waiver and has completed multiple trainings related to addiction medicine.

 

Marta began her nursing career eight years ago while working as a registered nurse in a high-risk labor and delivery unit.

She enjoys providing patient education, making certain that her patients are well informed when making decisions about their recovery and encouraging them to be an active participant in their health care. She believes that addiction medicine specialists must treat the patient as a whole, which requires an approach that combines both medicine and behavioral health. Marta believes that working on the frontlines of the current opioid epidemic and the overall war on addiction is one of the most important jobs in the world today.
