Thoughtful medicine, extended visits, and direct access to your clinician — with a focus on prevention, metabolic health, and lifelong wellness.
Relationship-Based Primary Care — Without Insurance Barriers
A membership-based primary care model that removes insurance barriers and allows more time for real care.
Our practice is intentionally kept small so we can spend more time with each patient.
NuMed provides comprehensive primary care grounded in evidence-based medicine and long-term relationships with our patients.
Direct Primary Care (DPC) with a Lifestyle Medicine approach
NuMed combines the Direct Primary Care model with a strong focus on prevention and lifestyle medicine. By keeping our patient panel small, we are able to spend more time understanding the underlying factors that influence health, including nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress, and metabolic health.
Our goal is not only to treat illness when it occurs, but to help patients build and maintain long-term health.
Benefits Beyond a Traditional Practice
We make it easy to get the care you need. Using a direct primary care (DPC) model, we keep our practice small so we can be there for you whenever you need us, and take the time to address your questions, concerns, problems, or simply to provide reassurance. You’ll have an advocate by your side, and the guidance and support you need for changing lifestyle habits.

Lifestyle Management
NuMed also offers additional services for patients interested in deeper health optimization, including nutrition and weight management coaching, wearable device integration, and bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). These services allow for a more comprehensive approach to long-term health.
Functional Medicine
Functional medicine delves deeply into uncovering the underlying causes of health issues. We meticulously examine comprehensive patient histories, lifestyles, and environmental factors to design individualized treatment strategies. These plans encompass dietary adjustments, supplement recommendations, stress reduction techniques, and other interventions, surpassing the scope of traditional primary care.

Adam and Dara are both great. If you have an appointment for 10:30, they actually see you right at 10:30!!! Adam is extremely knowledgeable, doesn’t mince words, doesn’t waste... Read More time, and most importantly, he works to see the bigger issues and underlying causes rather than throwing drugs at a problem. I found them through a referral from a friend and have since referred them to others.

The care I’ve received at NuMed was exemplary; Adam was caring and thoughtful, explaining in detail lab results and solutions to any anomalies in the report. Their approach to medicine... Read More is cutting edge and innovative. Highly recommend.

Adam is awesome! I have been a patient of Numed for a couple of years now and I have been extremely pleased with the level of service I receive! Adam... Read More is always responsive and very knowledgeable! Any time I have an issue it is addressed and resolved quickly. Direct primary care is such a great alternative to going through all the hoops of insurance and trying to get in to see your typical doctor. So much cheaper and way more efficient! 100% recommended!

Remarkable! Doctor Adam and Nurse Dara have created an unfathomable approach to medicine. I Have an emergency 24/7 phone number to call, a patient portal where trained healthcare... Read More providers answer and communicate with impressive responsiveness, and this is unbelievably inexpensive. As a Vet, it can take weeks to months just to make an appointment. Well, I have discovered a true find here and will be with this team for the remainder of my life. NuMed Direct Primary Care has done nothing other than to impress, and I would rate them higher would Dr. Google allow it.

Adam and his team are amazing. If you have an issue he will go above and beyond to help you with it. Not something that happens in this medical world... Read More very often at all. He is for the patient and the success of the patient and willing to help in anyway he can for your success. He’s and outside of the box, intelligent thinker. Would recommend his practice all day. Grateful to have his support!!

While NuMed's model is amazing, what really sets these guys apart are Adam and Dara, themselves. Any time I need something, they're just a phone call or text away.... Read More This truly is how primary care in America should be. And while the responsiveness is great, even better is that they actually want to help treat the "whole you". They're not fans of pumping you full of drugs to just treat symptoms. Rather, they help you get to the root cause of your issues. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

I’ve been a member for several years. Dr Adam & Dara are always so quick to respond & so welcoming when in the office! He is interested in the... Read More whole individual. He’s never tried to push any treatment, always gives options & solid information. As someone who had lost faith in traditional Western medicine, I fell very lucky to have found Dr A! Thanks for all you do!
