About
At LakeshoreMD, Dr. Ruchira Mehra leads Grand Haven's first Direct Primary Care practice. She built the practice around a single guiding belief: that a strong doctor-patient relationship produces better health outcomes. Her panel stays within the DPC range of 300 to 600 patients, keeping visits unhurried and access reliable.
Members pay a flat monthly fee with no copays or per-visit charges. The membership covers everything from preventive and acute care to chronic disease management, in-office procedures, and same-day or next-day appointments. Dr. Mehra reaches patients by phone, text, email, and telemedicine. LakeshoreMD also offers discounted lab services and wholesale generic medications, often at lower cost than an insurance copay.
