What is Direct Primary Care?
Direct Primary Care (DPC) is an innovative alternative payment model improving access to healthcare with a flat, affordable membership fee. No fee-for-service payments. No third party billing.
The defining element of DPC is an enduring and trusting relationship between a patient and his or her primary care provider. This innovative model transforms the way we practice medicine by allowing us to prioritize our relationship with our patients -- the way healthcare is meant to be.
We believe you and your doctor, not your insurance company, should make decisions on what is best for your health. Direct Primary Care removes obstacles that prevent us from focusing on your overall well being.

Our Healthcare Approach
We practice evidence-based medicine through two specialties: Family Medicine and Lifestyle Medicine. We believe marrying these two specialities brings continuity to your healthcare, keeping you healthy and providing the best possible care when you’re not.
What is Family Medicine?
Family physicians are personal doctors for all people of all ages and health conditions. Through lasting partnerships, we help patients prevent, understand, and manage illness, navigate the health system, and set health goals.
What is Lifestyle Medicine?
Lifestyle Medicine is the foundation of conventional medical care and intervention. Through wellness coaching, we help patients implement proactive healthcare approaches, such as maintaining a whole food dietary lifestyle, regular physical activity, and adequate sleep. This approach prevents, treats, and often reverses most chronic disease.
Our Mission
At Wellspring, stewarding your wellness is why we exist. Our desire is to provide holistic care for you and your family so you can thrive.
As a Wellspring member, you have a physician who knows you well, has your best interest at heart, and is available when you need it… like having a doctor in the family. Because we believe everyone deserves direct access to a trusted provider at a cost they can afford.
