About
At Polaris Medical, two board-certified family medicine physicians deliver direct primary care to whole families in Sandpoint, Idaho. Dr. Tessa Reinke founded the practice with a focus on patient education, wellness, and chronic disease management. Dr. Byron Haney brings over three decades of independent practice experience to the team.
Polaris Medical keeps its panel intentionally small so every patient gets adequate time. Members reach their physician directly by phone, text, or secure portal. The practice treats patients from newborns to grandparents. Monthly memberships cover annual physicals, office visits, same-day sick appointments, chronic disease management, and minor procedures. Lab work and medications fall outside the membership but carry significantly discounted rates. Memberships qualify as HSA-eligible as of January 2026.
