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.

Adam is awesome! I have been a patient of Numed for a couple of years now and I have been extremely pleased with the level of service I receive! Adam... Read More is always responsive and very knowledgeable! Any time I have an issue it is addressed and resolved quickly. Direct primary care is such a great alternative to going through all the hoops of insurance and trying to get in to see your typical doctor. So much cheaper and way more efficient! 100% recommended!

I have been coming here for almost a year now. I have to say they are the most responsive clinic I have ever been to! Adam listens to EVERYTHING I... Read More say, answers ALL my questions/concerns, explains everything in detail, gives me all of the options, and cares! They are VERY accommodating and have always seen me when I need to be seen- even same day! I recommend Adam Courchaine with NuMed Direct Primary Care over all others!

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.

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!

NuMed and Adam and Dara Courchaine are the best most conscientious medical providers I have ever trusted my care and the care of my children with. I am a... Read More “doctor mom” (not a real doc) of 5 kids and I’m super involved in my wellbeing and theirs. It is hard to find a provider anywhere who I feel cares as much about my little tribe as I do. They’re all about the whole person. Whole health, and truly thriving rather than just fixing sickness. I would recommend Adam to anyone. And have. My hope is to send him so many patients he has to stop taking new ones. He’s that good. Dara too. From regular stuff to the tough stuff I feel like I have a true ally in a primary care provider, and one who really listens to me and respects my feelings and worries doesn’t talk to me like I’m a child nor does he pat my head and tell me not to question. He talks me through anything I need to talk through and he helps me look for answers til I find them. Direct Primary Care IS the way to find a provider who isn’t just cranking out visits. And Adam is the best of them all.

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.

Read More Care I never feel that way. Always quick to respond and always wanting to listen to what my concerns are regarding my health. Always asks what it is I want or think I should do and then will give his professional opinion. Keep up tje great work!
