InnerHealth MD

Making a healthcare decision is often complicated by emotional, physical, social, and cultural factors. Not having enough time with your doctor is a challenge. Unfortunately, financial and pricing uncertainty gets in the way, too. Direct Primary Care is an attempt to simplify the expense side of the process and make it transparent using an affordable monthly or annual fee. For acute care needs, yo

u call, email, or text us, and we make time for you promptly (in person, by phone, or by email). You can use our in-office pharmacy or lab tests at steeply discounted prices (to save some of the money you’ve directed into practice memberships fees), or you can get medications or labs elsewhere in the valley – you choose. InnerHealthMD is a primary-care family practice with a specialty focus on integrative medicine - Western medicine blended with acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, and a Functional Medicine approach. We work together to explore your health goals and map out a plan for the year. You have an annual planning session with Dr. Archie to look at your medical history, family history, exercise, nutrition, stressors, physical exam, and risk factors. Some follow-up visits will be in person, some by phone or telemedicine video, and others by email. We offer group educational visits with 4-5 patients with similar goals or conditions. These are called "PPR Sessions: Predict, Prevent, Reverse". We are motivated to help you realize your healing potential. This is a simple, direct relationship with Dr. Archie and his staff. No copays, no purchasing decision to get in the way of making a healthcare decision. Dr. Archie is a primary-care physician board-certified in Family Medicine and Medical Acupuncture, with additional training at the Institute for Functional Medicine, 15 years of hospital medicine, and 8 years of rural emergency room experience. He will continue to practice hospital medicine in call rotation with his family medicine colleagues at St Luke’s. Hospital care is billed to insurance by St.
