About

At Lake Internal Medicine & Pediatrics, Dr. Josephine Lake delivers primary care for patients from newborns to seniors. She holds dual board certifications in Internal Medicine and Pediatrics. Her practice in Huntersville, NC operates on a direct primary care membership model.

Dr. Lake keeps her patient panel intentionally small. That means same-day appointments, hour-long visits, and no waiting room. Members reach her directly by phone, text, email, or portal around the clock. The practice treats a wide range of conditions, from chronic disease and preventive health to women's health and mental wellness. Specialty services include FDA-cleared Qb Testing for ADHD, IV hydration therapy, and cryotherapy for skin lesions. New pediatric patients are welcome now; adult patients may join a waitlist.
