NuMed Primary Care: Thoughtful medicine, extended visits, and direct access to your clinician — with a focus on prevention, metabolic health, and lifelong wellness.
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.

NuMed is exactly what HEALTHcare should be; direct access to your medical provider and a focus on the root cause of health issues and how to fix them. I’m so... Read More grateful to have found a patient-centric medical practice and such caring practitioners in both Adam and Dara.

While NuMed's model is amazing, what really sets these guys apart are Adam and Dara, themselves. Any time I need something, they're just a phone call or text away.... Read More This truly is how primary care in America should be. And while the responsiveness is great, even better is that they actually want to help treat the "whole you". They're not fans of pumping you full of drugs to just treat symptoms. Rather, they help you get to the root cause of your issues. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

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.
