To us, “Elementary” means going back to the basics-taking the time to understand the problem at its core, so your health starts to feel manageable.  It’s about taking the mystery out of healthcare with clear, understandable answers.

It’s a membership-based model where you pay a simple monthly fee for your primary care, instead of going through insurance. This allows for longer visits, better access, and care that isn’t rushed.

We recommend keeping insurance for major events like hospitalizations or emergencies.  It can also be used for specialist care, medications, labs, and radiologic studies.  Some patients choose to supplement or replace traditional insurance with options like shared savings plans or critical care insurance. Your membership covers your day-to-day primary care, which is where most people need the most support.

Your membership covers direct access to your doctor,  comprehensive visits, preventive care, acute and chronic condition management, and many in-office procedures. It also includes easy direct communication with your physician, without long waits or layers of scheduling.  Membership also includes negotiated lower prices on labs, radiology tests, and prescriptions.

You can reach out directly to schedule when you need to. We’ll determine whether an in-person visit, virtual appointment, or even a phone call is the best fit. Access is simple and flexible, so you’re not waiting weeks to be seen.

It depends, but most of the time it’s a significant savings. There are no surprise fees, no deductibles, or no co-pays. Use our calculator to see how much you might save. Membership fees may also be eligible for reimbursement through HSA or FSA accounts.

When appropriate, yes. We focus on understanding the root cause, which often leads to fewer medications over time, not more.

This works best for people who are looking for a more thoughtful approach to their health, who want answers, and who are willing to be part of the process instead of looking for a quick fix.
