Thoughtful medicine, extended visits, and direct access to your clinician — with a focus on prevention, metabolic health, and lifelong wellness.
NuMed Primary Care
Relationship-Based Primary Care — Without Insurance Barriers
A membership-based primary care model that removes insurance barriers and allows more time for real care.
Our practice is intentionally kept small so we can spend more time with each patient.
NuMed provides comprehensive primary care grounded in evidence-based medicine and long-term relationships with our patients.
Direct Primary Care (DPC) with a Lifestyle Medicine approach
NuMed combines the Direct Primary Care model with a strong focus on prevention and lifestyle medicine. By keeping our patient panel small, we are able to spend more time understanding the underlying factors that influence health, including nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress, and metabolic health.
Our goal is not only to treat illness when it occurs, but to help patients build and maintain long-term health.
Benefits Beyond a Traditional Practice
We make it easy to get the care you need. Using a direct primary care (DPC) model, we keep our practice small so we can be there for you whenever you need us, and take the time to address your questions, concerns, problems, or simply to provide reassurance. You’ll have an advocate by your side, and the guidance and support you need for changing lifestyle habits.

Lifestyle Management
NuMed also offers additional services for patients interested in deeper health optimization, including nutrition and weight management coaching, wearable device integration, and bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). These services allow for a more comprehensive approach to long-term health.
Functional Medicine
Functional medicine delves deeply into uncovering the underlying causes of health issues. We meticulously examine comprehensive patient histories, lifestyles, and environmental factors to design individualized treatment strategies. These plans encompass dietary adjustments, supplement recommendations, stress reduction techniques, and other interventions, surpassing the scope of traditional primary care.

Best doctor I’ve ever had. Adam cares about you and your health and always works to solve problems instead of just treating symptoms. Takes your care personally and it’s easy... Read More to tell he cares about you as a person and not just customer.

From my experience with both Adam and Dara, I would recommend this office to anyone. They are true functional medicine practitioners and are doing it the way it... Read More should be done. They get you off of pills, not recommend them. I have nothing but great rapport with them. They care and want what is best for each person individually and not a general plan for everyone. They work on YOU and what is working right and not...then try to get YOU to your optimal health.

What an amazing concept! Adam is bringing medicine back to how it should be and how it was decades ago but in a completely modern and new way. Direct Pay... Read More Care offers the best of any local medical clinic but with a personalized and hands on approach. To top it all off, Adam is absolutely engaging and passionate about what he does. All it took was a 5 minute conversation and I knew that NuMed was for me and my family. No other clinic in town can offer the same benefits to my large family as NuMed can. We chose NuMed over half a dozen other similar options because of the value, the benefits, and the “On-point” provider. If you are looking for a better alternative to over-inflated, insurance controlled healthcare, NuMed is right for you.

The care is far better than any primary care practice. I went in for an issue and the conversation not about just this medication and call back in a... Read More week. We developed an actual plan, both medication and activity strategy and guess what? It worked. Its also nice the cost of medication was probably 90% less than going through a pharmacy.

Adam and Dara are both great. If you have an appointment for 10:30, they actually see you right at 10:30!!! Adam is extremely knowledgeable, doesn’t mince words, doesn’t waste... Read More time, and most importantly, he works to see the bigger issues and underlying causes rather than throwing drugs at a problem. I found them through a referral from a friend and have since referred them to others.
