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.
