Sundial Medical Center

Sundial Medical Center operates on an annual membership model. Members receive primary care, chronic disease management, an individualized Advanced Physical, specialist referral coordination, and access to the Garden Gate wellness program. The membership fee does not cover specialty care, hospitalization, laboratory tests, or radiology studies, so patients must maintain separate health insurance.

No. Medicare and other private insurances do not cover the annual membership fee. Patients need to maintain health insurance to cover the costs of specialty care, hospitalization, laboratory tests, and radiology studies. Flex care accounts may apply, so check with your carrier for details.

Every member receives an individualized Advanced Physical with an expanded laboratory panel, EKG, cognitive testing, and hearing testing at no additional cost. Patients between 50 and 75 also receive carotid ultrasound, thyroid and abdominal ultrasound, and coronary calcium scoring at no extra charge. Younger patients can access these advanced tests for a fee.

Sundial's nutritionist Kelly Dwyer offers one-on-one consultations, group nutrition chats, and nutrition classes. One-on-one sessions run about an hour and include personalized nutrition and lifestyle recommendations. Couples and families can schedule consultations together. Nutrition chats and classes cover a range of food and health topics and accommodate both in-person and remote attendance.

Garden Gate is part of Sundial's Integrated Health Programs, which Dr. Mellman started to give patients a deeper understanding of preventive care. The program delivers educational events, resources, and speaker series that encourage healthy living and active patient engagement. The practice continues to grow the program with new speakers and events.

The physicians provide in-hospital care at Rose Medical Center in Denver. If a patient is admitted to a different facility, the doctors remain available by phone to support continuity of care.

Yes. As a privately owned practice, Sundial Medical Center's physicians draw on relationships across many hospitals and can refer patients to specialists from a wide range of facilities. Patient Liaison Nancy Bader assists with coordinating specialist appointments and navigating that process.

Members communicate with their physicians through the Sundial Portal, powered by Athena. The portal supports secure messaging and helps coordinate ongoing care between appointments.
