About
At ThriveWell Pediatrics, Dr. Valerie Miles and Dr. Dhanu Sant deliver integrative direct care pediatrics in Jacksonville, Florida. The practice holds the distinction of being the First Coast's first direct care practice for children. Together, the two physicians blend evidence-based medicine with natural and lifestyle-driven approaches to pediatric health.
The practice offers three ways to engage: a Primary Care Membership, the 4th Trimester Package for newborns, and Integrative Consult Packages for children with complex needs. The Integrative Consult Packages serve children managing ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, allergies, asthma, anxiety, and GI issues. Members receive same-day and next-day scheduling, direct physician access by phone, text, email, and video, and house calls when needed. Vaccines go through a VaxCare partnership, which bills insurance directly. The practice does not accept insurance for primary care services and operates fully outside insurance networks.

Frequently Asked Questions
ThriveWell Pediatrics operates on a direct care membership model. Families pay a monthly membership fee based on their child's age tier rather than billing insurance for primary care visits. The membership includes well visits, sick visits, school and sports physicals, same-day scheduling, direct physician access, and basic in-office lab tests. Vaccines go through a VaxCare partnership, which bills your insurance directly.
No. ThriveWell Pediatrics does not accept insurance, including Medicaid, for primary care services. The practice operates out of network for all plans. Vaccines, however, go through VaxCare, a separate program that bills vaccine coverage directly to your insurer.
ThriveWell Pediatrics serves children from newborns through age 22. Membership fees adjust by age tier, covering ranges from 0-1, 1-2, 2-5, 6-15 or 17, and 16 or 18 through 22. Contact the practice directly for current pricing by age group.
Yes. Same-day and next-day scheduling is a core benefit of the membership. Members also get direct access to their physician by phone, text, email, and video. This means families can reach the doctors quickly without waiting for a callback through a general phone line.
The 4th Trimester Package offers four in-home well visits for newborns during their first three months of life. The doctors come to you, making it easier for new families to get expert pediatric care without the stress of leaving the house in those early weeks. This package also pairs well with the lactation support the practice provides.
ThriveWell Pediatrics offers two Integrative Consult Packages for children with specific or complex health needs. The Be Well Package runs two months and the Stay Well Package runs three months. These packages serve children managing ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, allergies, asthma, anxiety, and GI issues. All children with Autism Spectrum Disorder enroll in the Stay Well Package.
