About

At Dandelion Health, Dr. Joe Fields-Johnson and Dr. Shokoufeh Dianat deliver direct primary care from their Manchester neighborhood clinic in Richmond, VA. Dr. Joe founded the practice in March 2020 as a solo telehealth and home visit service. By 2023, Dr. Dianat joined as co-founder and began accepting patients. The practice now includes a brick-and-mortar clinic at 1312 Hull Street, staffed by two physicians, a certified phlebotomist, a registered nurse, and a part-time pharmacy technician.

Dandelion Health takes its name from the dandelion itself. Like the plant, primary care thrives in overlooked places and carries more value than it often receives. The practice serves newborns through elders and conducts visits in English and Spanish. Members can reach their doctor by video, phone, text, in-person visit, or bicycle home visit for a limited area. An on-site pharmacy sells medications at cost, and the practice has secured over $70,000 in medications through drug manufacturer assistance programs. The practice also provides abortion and miscarriage care, gender-affirming care, and a full range of reproductive health services in a trauma-informed, LGBTQ+-affirming environment.
