About

At Plum Health Direct Primary Care, seven physicians deliver affordable, accessible family medicine across multiple Michigan locations. Dr. Paul Thomas founded the practice in November 2016, starting with a single room in Southwest Detroit. Plum Health holds the distinction of being the first Direct Primary Care practice in Detroit and Wayne County.

Today, Plum Health operates locations in Detroit, Royal Oak, Lansing, Van Buren, and Corunna.

The practice keeps each physician's panel at 500 members. Members reach their doctor directly by text, phone, or email. Same-day and next-day visits run up to 60 minutes with no wait times. 07 per pill. Lab panels carry steep discounts, with a lipid panel at $6 and an A1C at $7. The team also offers telemedicine and house calls, particularly for elderly and disabled patients. Plum Health partners with employers, municipalities, and community organizations across Michigan.
