About
Dr. Elissa Gaies founded her Direct Primary Care practice on a conviction she held throughout her years in traditional medicine: good care requires time. She built the practice to move away from rushed appointments and insurance-driven constraints. Her goal was a setting where each patient has a doctor who knows their full story.
Dr. Gaies focuses on primary care, preventive health, and the management of chronic conditions including ADHD, anxiety, and diabetes. She also brings deep clinical interest to nutrition, mental health support, and long-term wellness planning covering sleep, energy, and stress. Beyond primary care visits, she performs minor in-office procedures such as stitches, skin tag removal, and EKGs. She manages the practice as its sole physician, giving each patient direct, continuous access to her care.
