I've cared for adults for more than twenty years. I started Foundation Health so I could keep caring for the same people for a long time.

My father was a pastor.
I grew up watching him visit people in the hospital and sit with families at home. He stayed as long as someone needed him.
I think about him a lot in my own work, and he's a big part of why I keep my practice small enough to stay with people for years.
When faith is part of the picture
Faith is a big part of my life, and for a lot of my patients it's a big part of theirs. If yours matters to you, I want to know about it.
I'll pray with you or for you if you ask. I'll also take your faith into account when we build your treatment plan, the same way I'd account for your work, your family, and your schedule.
The science still leads. Faith can sit beside it and give a plan more meaning and more staying power, and it never overrides what the evidence says is best for you.
Whether you share my faith, hold a different one, or have none at all, you'll get the same care and the same welcome from me, whoever you are and whoever you love.
Why I started my own practice
For most of my career I worked inside the insurance system, where a morning could mean twelve patients at fifteen minutes each. Patients often saw a different provider every time.
Direct primary care let me change that. I keep my patient list small, visits run as long as they need to, and you can message me directly.
A lot of good clinicians are going concierge to fix the same problem, and I understand why. I wanted a practice where people could stay with me for years.
What a visit is like
I read your records before we meet. Then I'll ask what brought you in, what you've tried, and what you want from your health, and we'll make a plan you can stick with.
I check in on that plan over months and years and change what isn't working. Some patterns only show up when the same person has been watching for a while.
- Preventive care and screenings
- Blood pressure, diabetes, thyroid, and cholesterol
- Sleep, food, movement, and stress
- Reviewing the medicines you already take
Let's talk for fifteen minutes.
The first call is free. Bring your questions, and I'll tell you honestly whether direct primary care makes sense for you.
