About Us


As a Direct Primary Care (DPC) practice, we focus on you and your health without the influence of third party decision makers.


We see far fewer patients than a traditional volume-based practice so we can provide you the best care possible.


Our patient benefits include full access to care without barriers.


You’ll have more time with your physician, no co-pays, and no limit on visits or follow up appointments.


This includes physicals, sport and pre-op exams; newborn and pediatric care, geriatric medicine, wellness education, chronic disease management and more!
