Our
Approach
What Sets Us Apart
Our foundation is our commitment to offering primary care that is both comprehensive and personalized. Our doctors believe in an approach that incorporates the best of conventional medicine along with functional medicine principles (AKA: root-cause medicine).
We know everyone has their own set of experiences, habits, exposures, and genetics so we first listen to a patient’s unique story. No two people are the same, therefore no two treatments are the same.

Treating the Whole Person
We believe the body has the incredible capacity to heal itself when given the right tools.
We perform functional testing, including blood, urine, stool, or salivary tests to collect data to help us uncover and better understand what is out of balance. Once we gather the necessary information (your story along with diagnostic testing), we develop a personalized treatment plan that can include anything from nutritional counseling, supplement recommendations, lifestyle changes, hormone replacement, peptide, and/or advanced IV therapies.
Functional medicine has the greatest impact when addressing chronic issues such as:
- Diabetes
- Metabolic Disease
- Obesity
- Hypertension
- High Cholesterol
- Autoimmune Disease (Hashimoto's, Rheumatoid Arthritis)
- Cognitive Decline/Dementia
- Cancer
- Chronic Infections (Lyme, Epstein Barr, Herpes)
As a primary care medicine provider, our memberships include:
- Longer appointment times
- Minimal wait times
- Same-day acute visits
- 24/7 access to the on-call provider
- In-house laboratory testing
- Integrative treatment plans that go beyond conventional medicine
- Medical staff that goes above and beyond for our patients
Many of our patients renew their membership year after year with very little attrition. We value quality over quantity and desire to keep our membership practice small. Our ideal patient is someone who wants to take a proactive and collaborative approach to their care.
Let us partner with you on your journey to health and wholeness.

Our Integrative Approach
Advanced Cardiovascular Testing
Wellness First offers innovative, leading-edge testing for cardiovascular and neurologic disorders. These modalities can provide a means to diagnose issues prior to disease onset, as well as monitor the progression/regression of active disease.
IV Nutrient Therapy
In our IV suite, patients receive high-dose vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants intravenously for maximum absorption. IV Nutrient Therapy allows for greater utilization by the tissues to promote healing, reduce inflammation, promote efficient energy consumption, replace nutrient deficiencies and create balance within the immune system.
Chelation Therapy
Wellness First also offers oral and IV Chelation Therapy to remove heavy metals from the body. Toxic heavy metals such as mercury, lead, and arsenic are common sources that can cause or exacerbate various chronic illnesses, including cardiovascular, neurologic, autoimmune disease, and more.
Prolozone
Wellness First is certified in Prolozone, a regenerative treatment and technique wherein a combination of nutrients and ozone gas is injected into an injured joint or muscle to promote healing and correction of the underlying injury or problem. Prolozone has been studied and shown to be beneficial in cases of acute and chronic musculoskeletal injuries.
Ten Pass IV Ozone Therapy
Ozone, or 03, is a highly reactive form of oxygen that acts as an oxidative agent in the body. When introduced into the bloodstream or tissues, ozone interacts with amino acids and lipids to form peroxides (aka ozonides). Ozonides work by restoring the body’s own antioxidative buffering systems, which ultimately reduces oxidative stress and improves cellular oxygen utilization. Additionally, ozone stimulates the bone marrow to produce red blood cells, thus increasing tissue oxygenation and ATP (energy) production. We also see immune-modulating effects and an increase in the production of growth factors for tissue repair.
The clinical applications of ozone therapy are vast and include the treatment of cardiovascular disease, chronic pain, chronic fatigue, chronic illnesses (i.e., long-haul COVID, Epstein Barr Virus and Lyme), autoimmune disease, autonomic nervous system dysfunction, and neurodegenerative disease. It is also an acceptable and desired treatment for anti-aging and longevity.
Ten Pass is a multi-pass treatment, where we are able to ozonate a greater circulating volume of blood during one treatment. This creates a more pronounced response in the body with greater therapeutic benefit.
