About Us
"The doctor of the future will give no medication, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, diet and in the cause and prevention of disease"
- Thomas Edison
Our Philosophy
We started our practice for all the reasons we couldn’t stand going to the doctor- long wait times, impossible robot phone trees, being passed around from provider to provider, unclear billing, difficulty in rescheduling, inflexible appointment offerings and endless forms. Medicine just didn’t work for us as patients.
It also didn’t work for us as health care providers. We had multiple third parties pushing their rules on our patients and us- from insurance companies to mail order pharmacies telling us what we could and couldn’t do, to what medication they would allow for our patients and to how much we were allowed to be paid for our work. We felt stuck in a system that we knew was providing inadequate and rushed health care. It was cost-inefficient and bloated- paying everyone between the doctor and the patient by over charging the patients and under paying the doctors.
We decided we could accept this fate where we had no control over how we practiced or how much time we had with our patients, or we could “Be the change you wish to see in the world”. Clearly, we chose the latter path and never been happier.
It is so refreshing to be able to tell patients exactly what their healthcare with us will cost and be transparent about those costs. There are no hidden fees or surprise billing. We created a practice that can take care of 80-90% of your healthcare needs for less than $1000 a year. In our practice, you are a shared decision maker with us. We are here to guide you and give recommendations on your health and well-being but ultimately, you get to choose what works for you, time wise and cost wise. Being affordable doesn’t mean we’re cheap. It’s quite the opposite. We are possibly the best value you can add to take care of yourself for today and invest in yourself for the future.
With our membership model, we like to keep costs reasonable and deliver value to the patient in the form of upfront cost control and price transparency. We always found it ridiculous that no doctor’s office was able to tell us the price of a visit or service up front. It would be like going to the grocery store and picking out your food and then getting home and getting a bill three months later for an amount negotiated by your third-party payer (i.e. insurance) that you were then stuck with to pay. So, if the grocery insurer decided milk was now $12 and eggs were no longer covered, that’s what you would get, without recourse. That would seem so crazy, but that is exactly what happens in the ‘real’ healthcare world, and people keep accepting it. It's time to choose a better way.
Another thing we love about our practice is that we aren’t restricted to traditional western medicine that is reimbursable by insurance companies. We embrace the concepts of whole health, lifestyle living, alternative care models like chiropractic, acupuncture, dietary improvement, functional medicine, herbal/supplemental medicine and psychedelic medicine wherever appropriate. Western medicine is one part of a larger offering and we wanted to be able to incorporate wellness and other preventive medicine modalities in our practice.
We would love to invite you to join us…. For better care, transparent care, consistent care, whole body/total health care. If you’re still undecided if our practice is right for you, reach out to us at the office- 847-881-6858 – you won’t find any annoying phone trees or elevator hold music. You’ll always reach one of us and we can help answer your questions.
