About

At Aloha Nui DPC, Dr. Stefan Carl Harmeling delivers integrative, whole-person primary care through a direct membership model. He founded the Hilo practice in 2019, building on twelve years running Aloha Nui Family Practice on the same island. His vision centers on modernizing primary care through integrative techniques and advancing technology.

Dr. Harmeling caps his panel at 400 members to keep care thorough and personal. Membership covers a broad clinical range, including women's health, men's health, senior care, transgender health, and adolescent health. The practice also offers hormone replacement therapy, MAT for opioid use disorder, medical cannabis certification, CDL/DOT physicals, and cosmetic aesthetics under Aloha Nui Aesthetics. Members receive same-day appointments and telemedicine access. Each year, the practice sponsors the RISE Scholars Award, a $500 scholarship for Big Island high school seniors committed to community health.
