Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a new type of membership practice built upon a close doctor-patient relationship. The vast majority of healthcare occurs in primary care offices. These services in and of themselves are not expensive and we believe they don't have to be. Insurance has inflated the cost of primary care and has made it unaffordable and even inaccessible to many patients. We make your health our number one priority, by removing the middle men, making care affordable, accessible, and valuable, and restoring trust, open communication, and the personal relationship with your doctor.
Functional Medicine is a model for medicine that has the physician assess and find the roots of chronic disease so as to equip the patient with the tools necessary to reverse whatever disease process they are dealing with. It requires a detailed understanding of every patient's genetic, biochemical, and lifestyle factors and uses this data to create personalized treatment plans that improve patient outcomes. Everyone's body is equipped with the ability to perform at a high level and achieve greatness, but environmental influences can get in the way of this. Our environment is flooded with endocrine disruptors, antibiotics, pesticides, and other chemicals that harm our biology and limit our human potential. Human optimization is the art of removing the things holding us back and putting in the high octane oil required for our bodies to peak perform. Photo credit: https://desimonefm.com/.

My family and I have been working with Dr. Sam for several years and I highly recommend him to everyone looking for a doctor. His focus on prevention and holistic health has helped my entire family live healthier lives. The advanced lab work and testing he does really gives you an inside look at how healthy you are, which allows you to make the changes you need to be healthier year after year.

Dr. Lavis ordered detail blood work and stablished an overall base line of my current health. He then developed a dietary and exercise plan that would specifically help me improve areas that need it improvement. I’m 59 and having a plan to continue to stay as healthy as possible is exactly the type of preventative health plan I was looking for.

Since being diagnosed with cancer Dr. Sam has been helping me change my lifestyle and nutrition so that my body can heal. We have had quite the journey together, but I am happy to say that I went from stage 4 breast cancer to no evidence of disease on my last CT scan. I have had a great team working with me, but Dr. Sam developed a plan that allowed my bodies innate intelligence to take over. His attention to detail, thorough lab work, and nutrition plans are things that everyone could use more of in their lives.
