A letter to my past and future patientsOn my grandmother's side there are five generations of women healers. Becoming an Osteopathic physician felt like a natural step in my path after studying herbalism, Ayurveda, Osteopathy, and massage. Deciding between obstetrics and pediatrics was difficult which led me to become a family primary care physician. The thing I love most about what I do is taking care of families.
As I had children of my own the value of work life balance has become prominent. Working in insurance based, corporate medicine brought me away from my values. It made it harder for me to do what I went into medicine for-taking care of people and living in line with my own beliefs about health. The reason I got into medicine was to participate fully in the lives of other people. Increasingly, I noted hospital systems and insurance mandates creeping into my relationship with my patients, dominating choices. When I learned about direct primary care, I realized I could bring my personal values back to the primary care medicine I practice. I have structured Direct Osteopathic Primary Care around my values of autonomy, positive relationships and compassion. I look forward to sharing the journey of finding health and balance together.

Hello future patient,
Recently, I have been remembering why I chose a path in medicine years ago. I was asked by a patient and my reflex answer was something you’d expect of any doctor: I wanted to treat disease and help people feel better. Then I realized this answer was from practicing medicine in the corporate world, trained to focus on insurance rules and business metrics! I had to dig deeper. I went into medicine, family medicine, because I feel passionately about collaborating with patients to optimize health and maintain wellness. Although I do like to treat disease and help people feel better, I now want to use all of the tools I have learned along the way. Being trained in Western medicine, I know and appreciate the value of its diagnostics and therapies. Thinking holistically, I also want to incorporate alternative treatments, including supplements, nutrition, behavioral health and medical acupuncture. Direct primary care is a welcome change from the world of business in medicine, where more meant more patients, more restrictions, more admin work, more costs. Here, the focus is on you, because with more time, we can build more trust, and achieve more wellness. As I embark on this new chapter of my medical practice, I look forward to making this journey with you, forging a healthier path for both of us. Dr. Lisa |

I love the accessibility and communication with our family doctors. The ease of communication and relationship we’ve built makes me more proactive. It’s so nice to have these talented medical professionals as partners in my health - a rare find these days. |
We are so grateful for this practice. Dr. Brie and Dr. Lisa have been by our sides to navigate my husband's complicated chronic health issues. They have supported us physically and emotionally, often at odd hours. Due to the discount on labs, pharmaceuticals, and supplements, our membership pays for itself. |
