About
At Advanced Primary Care, Dr. Spencer Blackman delivers family medicine built around the patient-doctor relationship. He founded the Burlington, Vermont practice after two decades in primary care. His guiding principle is straightforward: the practice works for the patient, not an insurance company.
Dr. Blackman brings a decade of medical education leadership at One Medical to his clinical work. He also serves as a faculty member at the University of Vermont, teaching the next generation of physicians. The practice covers members across Vermont, New York, Massachusetts, Florida, and California. Vermont Health First recognized the practice in a two-page profile, noting that Dr. Blackman has built something rare: a practice that actually has time for its patients. The Advanced Health Score program offers a 360-degree annual wellness review spanning cognition, cardiovascular health, metabolic function, mental wellbeing, physical durability, sleep, inflammation, and sensory health.

The Advanced Health Score is Advanced Primary Care's 360-degree annual wellness program. It assesses eight domains: brain health and cognition, heart health and EKG, metabolic integrity, mental health and wellbeing, physical durability, sleep, inflammatory and immune health, and sensory wellness. The program measures genuine health, not just the absence of disease.
Prospective members begin with a free 15-minute introductory call to confirm the practice is a good fit. Enrollment is limited, so the practice keeps its panel intentionally small. New patients can schedule that call directly through the Advanced Primary Care website.
