“The healthcare system in the U.S. was not built to keep people healthy. It was built to respond once something goes wrong. It is expensive, fragmented, and often leaves patients feeling unseen and unheard.
I have experienced that reality from both sides. As a patient, I have navigated long wait times, surprise bills, and confusing insurance rules. As a physician, I have felt the pressure to move quickly, follow templates, and fit meaningful conversations into minutes. Early in my training, I questioned whether I could stay in a system that felt so disconnected from why I chose medicine in the first place.
I chose to stay because I believe healthcare can be different.
Members Health Co was created to restore what many of us feel is missing in modern healthcare: time, trust, and a focus on prevention. The truth is, health is simple, accessible, and affordable when we cut out the middle men.
By intentionally limiting membership and training our team in the Members Method, we have created a model that prioritizes proactive care, continuity, and full price transparency. This is not concierge medicine for the few. It is a smarter, more personal approach designed to make proactive, relationship based healthcare the standard rather than the exception.
Our mission is simple. To become the leading option for proactive, relationship based healthcare and to offer a smarter, more accessible path to lifelong health.
If you have been looking for a different kind of health experience, we would be honored to care for you.”

The Problem With Health Insurance
Most primary care physicians are responsible for thousands of patients, which often means seeing 25–30 people a day in 5–10 minute visits. This creates rushed, impersonal care, delays in treatment, medical errors, and frustration for both patients and doctors.
Insurance-driven systems force physicians to spend more time documenting visits, calling pharmacies, and appealing denials than actually caring for patients. We are often required to prescribe medications or order tests that we know are insufficient, simply to satisfy insurance rules.
Over time, this leads to burnout, dissatisfaction, and physicians leaving the profession altogether.
As patients, we experience this in real time: long wait times, co-pays, delayed imaging and referrals, and visits that feel rushed or impersonal. High-deductible plans mean we pay thousands of dollars for minimal coverage. Urgent care and emergency visits are often out-of-network, and routine preventive care can feel like a hassle rather than a benefit.
Insurance companies, with no medical training, dictate how physicians practice, approve or deny care, and profit while patients and doctors bear the consequences. The result is a system that is expensive, frustrating, and not designed to keep people healthy.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
