Mountains Meet Medical™

Osteopathic Physicians Direct Care

We are accepting new patients!

Please note that at this time we are sadly unable to accept Medicare eligible & enrolled patients EXCEPT FOR some occupational health services, which you will find a list of on our Special Health & Occupational Services Page; the federal government does not allow us to otherwise see you for their covered services until we can fully opt out as physicians.

We are working on lifting this barrier in the future, as we would love to take care of you! 

Mountains May Never Meet, But People Can

Our Vision

 

At Mountains Meet Medical™ OPDC, we claim the freedom to provide a safe, empowering, and healing space where we can be truly present as physicians collaborating with our patients to transcend boundaries, achieve comprehensive health goals, improve well-being, and prepare for adventure.

Our vision is to create a healthcare environment that fosters meaningful connections between physician and patient while promoting physical, mental, and spiritual health; this is the heart of exceptional medical care. With a patient-centered model, we emphasize an accessible, transparent, and affordable healthcare experience for individuals and families, and a deep commitment to community well-being.

We Provide 

Primary Care, Occupational, Global & Community Health, & Adventure Preparedness Medicine for your Wellness

​​

We are a Physician-based Micropractice

​​​​

We are board-certified physicians, tied together since medical school, and committed to fostering a lifelong learning in the art of medicine.​ ​From the foundation up we are a team of two, pushing up our sleeves and putting our labor of passion as directly and personally as possible into every aspect of our practice; this is designed to honor high quality medical care and to maximize your affordability while keeping our lights on, and reserving room for giving to the community.​

Dedicated Time

We maintain a small membership panel to: 

 

Protect dedicated time with our patients

 

Have minimal to no waiting room time

 

Attend unrushed visits

 

Create focused space for knowledge and skills advancement.

Accessibility

A small panel of patients allows flexible and accessible communication; this means reaching us directly for urgent matters within a reasonable amount of time and even over the weekend!

 

If indicated, we’ll be able to schedule an appointment at early availability, which could mean during the same day, next day, or same week.

Direct Guidance

Is it possible that physician practices exist where you can talk directly to your doctor and that easily by call, text, video, or email?

 

For the kiddos we take care of, direct access to a pediatric emergency physician who can guide whether you should make a trip to the emergency department vs take care of the situation at home vs come in and see us?

 

Yep, what a concept!

​​​We are a Direct Care Physician Practice

 

We work hard to offer affordable membership plans and stand-alone services to separate from insurance and volatile healthcare industry costs to our patients. By avoiding insurance-related complexities and barriers, we instead allow our direct care to be guided solely by medical expertise and patient needs. This is called a Direct Care Model. We feel that this is the way it’s supposed to be. 

More on the Benefits of Joining our Direct Care Practice

Optimized Care: sometimes bumps in the road are just going to occur in life, however, we value streamlined efficiency and careful preparation in the effort to help avoid unexpected and frustrating hold-ups on the day of your appointments. Special physical exams, testing, consultations, and occupational service visits are coordinated in advance to help you fully prepare for your appointment, which is designed for a more seamless, informed, and relaxed process on your exam day!  

 

Holistic Approach: rooted in osteopathic principles, our medical care addresses the interconnectedness of body, mind, and spirit, supporting holistic well-being. We aim to build lasting, transformative relationships with our patients and contribute positively to our local and global communities.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
