Modern Medicine. Personalized Care.
Patients First Direct Primary Care
Patients First offers traditional primary care, elevated with Functional Health practices. You’ll see science driven, proactive and personalized approaches, coupled with time honored techniques to improve your lifespan, and more importantly your healthspan (healthy years lived). We offer advanced therapies for weight management, bioidentical hormone management, lifestyle education, and peptide treatment
I’ve chosen Direct Primary Care as a model of care. Simply stated, Patients First doesn’t bill insurance. Patients pay a flat monthly fee. Unlimited visits, without copays or deductibles. We do accept payment from Health Savings Accounts (HSA). 100% of your monthly fee can be paid by your HSA. Think concierge care, but at a reasonable price.
By eliminating the barriers of large healthcare organizations and insurance companies, Patients First can offer appointments within 24-48 hours, and extended office visits. Exceptional care requires time, attention, and meaningful patient relationships. Direct Primary Care has solved the problems with traditional primary care practices.

Traditional family medicine enhanced with modern functional health strategies

Improving Healthspan, not just Lifespan
Lifespan is the total number of years you live (quantity), whereas Healthspan is the number of those years
spent free from chronic disease and major disability (quality). The ultimate goal of longevity science is to close
the gap between these two metrics so you live vibrant, healthy years right up until the end of life.
