You Are More Than a Collection
When was the last time you felt
fully supported by your primary care team?
Conventional primary care models often rely on quantity of patients, not quality of care. At Essential Health, we take a different approach. Through our Direct Primary Care model, we provide personalized care and 24/7 access to our providers who are dedicated to uncovering the root cause of your condition and bring you closer to optimal health.
We believe good health care is more than just simply managing disease. That’s why we incorporate evidence-based principles of functional medicine into our Direct Primary Care model. Our functional medicine practitioners focus on identifying and addressing the root causes of your health issue and guiding you towards your best health through a comprehensive and integrative approach. They consider how genetics, lifestyle, and environmental factors contribute to your health and create personalized care plans designed to help you reach and maintain optimal health naturally and effectively.
Move Beyond Your Typical
Primary Care Experience.
Our Providers.
Our objective is to help you achieve the highest level of well-being possible.
Our providers are among the select few who have completed additional rigorous education in this field – including certification and fellowship programs from the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M) and the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM).
Our Programs.
Our Direct Primary Care programs are designed to do more than maintain the status quo. They focus on addressing the underlying issues that may be preventing you from optimizing your health.
We help you develop a roadmap, first to a state of well-being, and then to optimal health and longevity. Our team of Functional Medicine Providers is dedicated to empowering you with strategies that emphasize lifestyle changes and non-prescription methods whenever possible. However, we also recognize that conventional treatment may sometimes be necessary to support you while transitioning to a more functional medicine-focused approach to care.
What to Expect.
Developing your roadmap towards optimal health.
ESSENTIAL HEALTH
ASSESSMENT
All new clients begin with an Essential Health Assessment. This assessment takes a deep dive into your current health status, including health history, biometrics, functional exam, diagnostics, physical exam, and extensive lab testing.
FOLLOW UP CONSULTATION & PERSONALIZED PLAN
You will then be scheduled for a follow-up consultation to review the results of your Essential Health Assessment and create a personalized plan. The follow-up consultation will usually take place within two weeks of your assessment.

Subscription Benefits.
Essential Primary Care clients enrolled in a subscription-based program enjoy many benefits including:
A personal relationship with your provider.

Appointments in our office are typically 30–60 minutes with little — if any — wait time.
24/7 access for urgent needs.
Via phone call, text message, email, or your online health portal. As a Primary Care member, you also have a direct number for your team to make certain you can always talk with a person, regardless of day or time.
Additional benefits.
- Annual re-assessment, including labs
- Semi-annual or quarterly “check-in” visits
- Unlimited sick visits
- Reduced fees on our Essential Hormone Balance Program
