Ever feel like your doctor’s appointment is over before you’ve even sat down? ⏱️

In 2026, the national average for a new patient visit is a 30–45 minute slot, but actual face-time with a doctor is often only 20 minutes. At our clinic, we’re doing things differently. We believe your health deserves more than a "quick check-in."

We offer a personalized, transparent approach to health care:
✅ Adult New Patients: A full 2-hour deep dive into your health history for $320.
✅ Pediatric New Patients: 1.5 hours of dedicated care for $215.
✅ Follow-Ups: 30 minutes of focused time for $160.

Why go self-pay?
While the national average for a new patient visit (plus basic labs) has jumped to $397, we keep our pricing straightforward. We don't take insurance, which means no hidden fees, no surprise "tier" billing, and no rushing. We focus on you—not paperwork.

The Details:
Payment: We accept cash, check, credit, and HSA/FSA cards.
Time: Our follow-up appointments provide more face-time than the 2026 industry average of just 8–12 minutes.
Access: Avoid the national 23.5-day wait for a family physician. New patient appointments usually available within 14 days.

Let’s talk about bad breath 👀

If you’ve tried everything—including regular dental cleanings—and it still comes back… it might not be your mouth at all.

In a recent episode of Since You Asked, an advice podcast, a question was asked about how to tell a loved one they have bad breath. Bad breath, in spite of good dental hygiene, might indicate an underlying health concern such as small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO).

SIBO happens when bacteria from the large intestine move into the small intestine and ferment undigested carbs, producing gases like hydrogen, methane, and hydrogen sulfide that can lead to bad breath.
Yep. The gut could be the real culprit.

🎧 If you need to tell someone they have bad breath, give a listen to the podcast: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5wYpHzFZ1ZNDgKpsk1RXkU
