About
At Ideal Health Chicago, Dr. Shaila Pai-Verma delivers direct primary care from a Lincoln Park office built around one goal: keeping the focus on the patient. She founded the practice after a decade as clinical faculty and Medical Director of Internal Medicine at Rush University Medical Center. Her 20-plus years in Chicago medicine inform every aspect of how she runs the practice.
Dr. Pai-Verma keeps her panel limited to a few hundred patients. Annual physicals and new patient visits run 60 minutes. Follow-up and acute care visits run 30 minutes. The practice guarantees same-day or next-day acute care appointments during regular business hours. Members reach Dr. Pai-Verma directly by phone, text, email, or video. She also offers house calls for patients who cannot come to the office. Her clinical focus spans preventive care, longevity, metabolic health, cardiovascular risk, and cancer screening. She offers advanced diagnostics including the Galleri multi-cancer early detection test and coronary scans.

Frequently Asked Questions
Ideal Health Chicago charges $3,200 per year or $267 per month. Membership fees qualify for FSA and HSA reimbursement. Patients over 75 should contact the office directly for pricing. If you start with a one-time full physical at $600 and decide to join, the practice applies that cost toward your annual membership.
Members receive unlimited visits with Dr. Pai-Verma, including 60-minute annual physicals and 30-minute follow-up and acute care visits. The practice guarantees same-day or next-day acute care during regular business hours. Membership also includes direct access to Dr. Pai-Verma by phone, text, email, and video, minor in-office procedures like EKG, urinalysis, strep test, ear wash, and nebulizer treatment, discounted lab rates, and discounts on products and vitamins worth up to $500 per year.
Ideal Health Chicago operates outside of insurance billing for membership fees and direct primary care visits. The practice does not submit claims to insurance companies and keeps your medical record confidential from insurers. Members should carry a separate insurance plan or health-sharing arrangement for specialist care, hospitalizations, and services outside the practice's scope.
Yes. Dr. Pai-Verma offers telemedicine visits through the Atlas MD application. Members use telehealth for unlimited acute care visits as needed. Non-members can book acute care tele-visits for $150. Telehealth lets you connect with Dr. Pai-Verma from home, the office, or while traveling.
Yes. Dr. Pai-Verma makes house calls for patients who prefer care at home. Members can choose between visiting the Lincoln Park office or requesting a visit at their location.
You can start by submitting a contact form on the practice website or calling the office directly. The team will reach out to discuss your membership options. New patients who want to explore the practice first can book a one-time full physical for $600 before committing to membership.
The practice limits its panel to a few hundred patients. That deliberate limit allows Dr. Pai-Verma to spend meaningful time with each person and respond promptly to acute needs.
The practice offers an advanced cardiac profile, advanced lipid panel, coronary scans, the Galleri multi-cancer early detection test, the Ambry cancer genetic test, and an Alzheimer's risk genetic test. These are available as add-ons to physicals for an additional charge. Members also receive discounted rates on lab work.
The practice primarily serves adults. Patients 75 and older should contact the office directly to discuss pricing. Dr. Pai-Verma has experience treating a wide range of conditions across adulthood, including postpartum care, chronic disease management, and longevity planning.
The Lincoln Park office is open Monday through Friday from 7am to 4pm by appointment. Members also have access to early morning and evening appointment times outside standard hours. Telemedicine and direct physician access extend Dr. Pai-Verma's availability beyond those windows.
