Members also receive a personalized treatment plan. Beyond primary care, the practice offers hormone replacement therapy, IV therapy, peptide therapy, NAD+ therapy, ozone therapy, acellular growth factors, weight loss support, and sexual health services. A Performance Medicine membership is available alongside the Direct Primary Care option. The practice handles roughly 95% of primary care visits remotely by phone, text, or video.
