Advanced Diagnostic and Screening Technology
Whether in our office, at the lab, or at our partner Innovative Radiology, we make use of all the latest advances in medical technology in the place it makes the most sense to do so — diagnostics and screening. This helps us identify with precision even the earliest dysfunction and silent problems that often get missed for years or decades by conventional care models, allowing us to intervene when it matters most — early.
In-person and remote options
Our main office is in the beautiful Southern Hills area of Des Moines, with a second location coming soon to West Des Moines. Can’t make it into the office? We’ve got you covered with telemedicine by phone or video. Just have a quick question? With concierge medicine, you can text or call your doctor directly any time, no appointment needed at all.
Our Philosophy
We are designed for a way of life that no longer exists — what we eat, how we spend our time, how much we move, and more, are all different today than they were in our environment of evolutionary adaptation. This mismatch between modern life and our evolutionary environment drives the epidemic of chronic diseases we see today. Most of these diseases develop slowly and silently over years, and are traditionally addressed only when they are advanced enough to present as overt disease.
Through deliberate risk reduction, early detection & screening, and personalized, multimodal interventions, we can help you reduce risk, avoid or even reverse many chronic conditions, optimize your health, and hopefully add years of meaningful time in this world with the people you love.
Experience a personalized, healthspan-oriented approach to medical care rooted in science, powered by advanced technology, and informed by evolutionary biology. By combining the best of traditional, integrative, functional, and lifestyle medicine with a concierge practice that makes time for you, we help you thrive in the modern world.
