We Believe Healthcare Should Be
Affordable • Effective • Accessible
Generous donors, volunteer doctors and a shared space with our member patients make it possible to provide services to our uninsured patients who cannot afford a membership at our clinic, making up 55% of all appointments.

Meet Dr. Mike
Dr. Mike, as he is affectionately known to patients, serves our members as their personal physician. Driven by his deep faith in God and an authentic love for people, he is a trusted advisor, medical clinician, and friend to his patients.
Why the Direct Primary Care Approach
“For me, being a doctor is a calling and a sacred trust. That means always doing what’s best for my patients – and I believe Direct Primary Care is the best way to make sure they get the highest level of attention and personal care. It removes insurance companies from healthcare decisions and sets my patients free to make the best choices for their long-term health. High co-pays and costly premiums are no longer obstacles to excellent primary care. Members simply pay a small monthly membership fee and get full access to a personal physician and 24/7 care without ever receiving a medical bill.”
Professional Training
Dr. Mike graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science degree from Southern Illinois University where he also earned his Doctor of Medicine degree. Following medical school, he completed his residency through the Siouxland Medical Education Foundation in Sioux City, Iowa.
