A provider you can call or text directly when you have a question. A provider that really listens to all your concerns and struggles.
We’re dedicated to providing comprehensive, personalized healthcare through the direct primary care model. With a low monthly fee, we strip away the middlemen (insurance and healthcare administrators) and bring the focus back to patient care. You get more relaxed visits, which is more time with your provider and more time for your provider to think about your care — even when you are not in the office.
Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a model of value based healthcare that allows the patient (you) better access and a more personal relationship with your healthcare provider. DPC takes healthcare back to its roots. By charging a monthly membership fee, we take the insurance company and big health system administrations out of the equation. That is the secret. This means less paperwork, less outside interference, open scheduling, no co-pays and upfront pricing. This way we are able to spend more time to ensure you are getting the most individualized care while saving you money.

To continue our journey into the pillars of Lifestyle Medicine, today’s pillar is Physical Activity! I have always been an active person but would have my ups and downs. I’m Farah Myers, Family Nurse Practitioner in Carmel, Indiana. When I left traditional medicine, I realized that I was using my spin bike as an anti-anxiety pill! Long hours and early morning workouts had me burning the candle at both ends. I was not enjoying it anymore and lost my desire to work out.
It was recently Lifestyle Medicine Week, and I want to continue focusing on the pillars of lifestyle medicine. Today’s focus is on…Whole-Food Plant Based Nutrition!Believe me, as a weight neutral clinician, I was concerned about how I advise my patients on “Healthy Eating” while also not making too many “food rules.” When I help my patients with nourishment and nutrition, I want it to be achievable and easy! No more food tracking and diet talk!So, “I put it to the test” (as Dr. Greger would say) by working on this myself. How hard could it be? Turns out, if I make SMART goals, really not that bad!
