    Why Wand Health

    Medicine works best when your doctor actually knows you.

    I started Wand Health because I wanted to practice medicine in a more personal, thoughtful, and human way.

    Too often, traditional healthcare leaves patients feeling rushed, disconnected, and unheard. I created this practice to offer something different: care centered on relationships, unhurried visits, and a deeper understanding of each patient's health and goals.

    I want Wand Health to be a place where patients feel comfortable asking questions, discussing their health openly, and making informed decisions about their care.

    My clinical expertise includes comprehensive primary care, LGBTQ+ health, HIV prevention and treatment, metabolic health, nutrition, and overall well-being. I believe care should be accessible, affirming, and evidence-based.

    You deserve a doctor who has time for you and actually knows your story.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Direct Primary Care is a membership-based model that replaces the traditional insurance-driven experience with something far more personal. You pay a flat monthly fee for direct access to your physician. No copays, no surprise bills, no waiting weeks for an appointment. Your membership covers office visits, telehealth, preventive care, care coordination, and direct communication with me. Because I keep my patient panel small by design, visits are longer, scheduling is easy, and I actually know you.

    Concierge practices typically bill insurance on top of a much higher membership fee. At Wand Health, membership covers your care directly. No insurance billing, no extra charges for visits. It's a cleaner, simpler relationship between you and your doctor.

    Yes, fully. LGBTQ+ affirming care, HIV prevention, and PrEP are core parts of this practice, not an afterthought. Wand Health is built to be a place where patients feel comfortable being completely themselves. No judgment, no assumptions.

    Often, yes. I help patients navigate insurance coverage, manufacturer assistance programs, and public health resources so that cost isn't a barrier. Many patients end up paying little or nothing for their medication.

    Because I'm not rushing through 20 patients a day, I have time to go deeper. That means thorough evaluations, real conversations, and working through problems that a 15-minute appointment simply can't accommodate. In traditional primary care, time pressure pushes doctors toward referrals for things that could have been handled in the office. At Wand Health, I can often manage more complex concerns myself, saving you the time, cost, and coordination of seeing a specialist you may not have needed in the first place. When a specialist is the right call, I'll make sure it's the right one.

    Same-day or next-day for most appointments. If something urgent comes up, you won't be waiting weeks or heading to urgent care for something your doctor should handle.

    Members can reach me directly through our secure messaging platform. Text, video, or photo. I'm accessible for real concerns, not just scheduled visits. If something needs to be seen in person, we'll get you in quickly.

    Your membership includes comprehensive primary care, including preventive care, chronic disease management, acute visits, telehealth, care coordination, and direct access to me between visits. You'll have longer appointments, same- or next-day availability when possible, and a physician who knows you and your health goals.

    I have access to discounted pricing on many labs, imaging studies, and medications, which I pass directly to patients. Insurance can often be used as well. I'll help you choose the most straightforward and cost-effective option for your situation. Specialist care, hospital care, and other services outside the practice work much like they would in a traditional medical setting.

    Yes. Wand Health is designed to complement your insurance, not replace it. Most members pair their membership with a plan that covers major medical events like hospitalizations, surgery, specialist care, and emergencies. I can help you think through what kind of coverage makes sense alongside DPC.

    Eligibility for HSA or FSA payment or reimbursement depends on applicable tax rules and the terms of your specific plan. Please confirm eligibility with your plan administrator or tax professional. I can provide receipts or supporting documentation upon request.

    Most traditional primary care doctors care for panels of over 2,000 patients. Wand Health is intentionally kept much smaller, allowing for longer visits, easier access, and a more personal relationship with your physician.

    Your insurance handles the cost as it normally would. But the experience is different here. Rather than getting referred to whoever happens to be in the system, I send patients to specialists I know personally. People I trust, who I can actually communicate with, and who understand the value of coordinated care. I'll stay involved throughout, help with follow-up, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks. Having a doctor who knows your full history and advocates for you makes a real difference when things get complicated.

    Wand Health is not currently enrolled in Medicare, so I'm unable to see Medicare patients at this time. This is something I plan to offer in the future. If you're interested, reach out and I'll add you to the waitlist for when Medicare is accepted later in 2026.

    Wand Health has a clinic in Bankers Hill in San Diego. Telehealth is available throughout California, and home visits are offered for established San Diego patients.

    Yes. I offer a free meet-and-greet so we can get to know each other and make sure it's the right fit. If you decide to join, membership is month-to-month with no long-term contract. You can cancel with 30 days' notice. I want you to stay because you value the care, not because you're locked into a commitment.
