If you've been following our journey, you know that our passion has always been helping people become healthier, stronger, and happier. Today, we're excited to officially welcome you to Iron Pine Health—the next chapter in that journey.
We're opening both a telehealth and in-person clinic because we believe healthcare should be personal, accessible, and centered around you. Too often, people feel rushed through appointments or struggle to get in to see their provider when they're sick. We wanted to create something different—a place where you're more than just another appointment on the schedule.

Healthcare That Actually Feels Personal
Iron Pine Health is built around the Direct Primary Care (DPC) model. If you're not familiar with DPC, here's the simple version:
Instead of dealing with insurance for every office visit, members pay a monthly membership fee that gives them direct access to their primary care provider. That means longer appointments, easier communication, telehealth visits, in-person care, and the ability to be seen quickly—often within 24 to 48 hours—for things like coughs, colds, urinary tract infections, ear infections, minor illnesses, and other everyday medical concerns.
The goal is simple: spend more time caring for people and less time fighting paperwork.
You can visit our website to see all of the services included in our membership and explore whether Direct Primary Care is the right fit for you and your family.
More Than Primary Care
We're also excited to offer wellness services that focus on helping you feel your best from the inside out.
If you've followed me for any length of time, you already know that weight management is something I'm incredibly passionate about.
I've personally been on my own GLP-1 journey for more than three years. I've experienced the victories, the frustrations, the side effects, the learning curve, and everything in between. Because of that experience, I understand that weight loss isn't simply about eating less or exercising more. It's about finding a plan that works for your life.
At Iron Pine Health, we'll work together to create an individualized treatment plan that may include lifestyle changes, nutrition, exercise, accountability, and medications when appropriate, including options such as Wegovy®, Ozempic®, Zepbound®, Mounjaro®, and other evidence-based therapies.
This isn't about quick fixes.
It's about building healthy habits that last long after the number on the scale changes.
Hormones play a huge role in how we feel every day. Fatigue, low energy, poor sleep, brain fog, decreased muscle mass, and reduced libido can all be signs that something is out of balance.
We'll take the time to listen to your concerns, evaluate your symptoms, and discuss whether hormone replacement therapy may be an appropriate option for you.
Yep—you read that correctly.
Peptides have become one of the fastest-growing topics in health and wellness, but they can also be incredibly confusing. There is a lot of information online, and unfortunately, not all of it is accurate.
At Iron Pine Health, you'll finally have someone who can sit down with you, answer your questions, explain what peptides are, discuss the science behind them, review potential benefits and risks, and help determine whether they're appropriate for your individual goals.
Our focus is education first, so you can make informed decisions about your health.
