At Hearthstone Health we believe in comprehensive wellness management and a patient-centered approach. When you get sick, you need prompt access to your doctor. When you are well, your doctor needs the time to spend with you to keep you well on a deeper level.
PERSONALIZED CARE
We use a holistic approach to healing the whole person and always work in harmony with your system of values. Our smaller practice means better attention and focus on each patient. In our practice, longer visits (typically 30-60 minutes) are the norm, allowing us to fully understand your needs. Specializing in complex medical needs, we use a integrative, hands-on approach. Your treatment plan may include osteopathic, nutritional, biospychosocial, mechanical/anatomical, and energetic therapies.
As a patient in our practice, you have virtually 24/7 access to your doctor through various modes of communication (i.e., phone/email/text), as well as same day or next day appointments with your doctor.
COST EFFECTIVE
We are part of a growing and innovative movement among primary care doctors who are providing direct care to our patients. This means we put patient needs first. Untethered to an insurance or hospital network, we communicate and contract directly with our patients, laboratories, and pharmaceutical companies. (Note: we do not bill any insurance.) This streamlined approach allows for improved patient access, direct doctor-patient communication, and transparency in health care costs. 20-40% of medical costs overall can be saved by Direct Primary Care (DPC).
