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.
Testimonials
Love from our patients

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.

Remarkable! Doctor Adam and Nurse Dara have created an unfathomable approach to medicine. I Have an emergency 24/7 phone number to call, a patient portal where trained healthcare... Read More providers answer and communicate with impressive responsiveness, and this is unbelievably inexpensive. As a Vet, it can take weeks to months just to make an appointment. Well, I have discovered a true find here and will be with this team for the remainder of my life. NuMed Direct Primary Care has done nothing other than to impress, and I would rate them higher would Dr. Google allow it.

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.

Adam is one of the most passionate people I know. Have you ever felt like just a number at your primary health care facility? If you have an HMO like... Read More I do... you know exactly what I am talking about. Adam is the exact opposite of that. Adam LOVES what he does and it shows! What he does is HELP PEOPLE! Same Day appointments, No cost appointments, open communication, savings on prescriptions, etc. You are never just a number with Adam and his team... He makes you feel like you are part of the family.
