Comprehensive healthcare. Personalized attention.

Primary care that looks beyond your symptoms to understand your overall health.
What Is Direct Primary Care?
At Stryker Optimal Health & Wellness, we believe primary care should involve more than managing symptoms and renewing prescriptions.
​
Our Functional & Integrative Direct Primary Care (DPC) membership combines evidence-based primary care with a comprehensive approach to understanding your health. We consider your medical history, laboratory findings, nutrition, hormone health, metabolism, sleep, stress, and lifestyle when developing your treatment plan.
​
Our goal is to help you understand your health, address contributing factors when possible, and make informed decisions about your care.
​
All for a predictable monthly membership.

What Makes Our Direct Primary Care Different?
Many Direct Primary Care practices focus on providing affordable access to routine primary care.
​
At Stryker Optimal Health & Wellness, we take that concept further by incorporating functional and integrative medicine principles into the primary care services we provide.
​
We understand that symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, sleep disturbances, mood changes, and hormonal concerns may involve multiple contributing factors.
​
Rather than evaluating each concern in isolation, we consider how different aspects of your health may be connected.
​
Our approach includes:
-
Comprehensive health assessments and medical history reviews
-
Individualized laboratory evaluation when clinically indicated
-
Thyroid, hormone, and metabolic health assessments
-
Nutrition and lifestyle recommendations
-
Preventive care and chronic disease management
-
Medication management and ongoing monitoring
-
Evaluation of sleep, stress, and mental health concerns
-
Individualized treatment plans and follow-up
We use conventional medical evaluation and treatment alongside evidence-informed lifestyle and integrative strategies.
​
You receive comprehensive primary care focused on your individual needs, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
What Is Functional & Integrative Direct Primary Care?
Functional and integrative DPC combines two approaches to healthcare.
​
Direct Primary Care
​
DPC provides access to primary care services through a monthly membership paid directly to your healthcare provider.
​
Rather than billing insurance for each membership-covered appointment, you pay a predictable monthly fee.
​
Functional & Integrative Medicine
​
Our clinical approach considers potential contributing factors to your symptoms, including nutritional status, metabolic health, hormonal changes, lifestyle habits, and existing medical conditions.
​
We use laboratory findings, medical history, physical assessments, and clinical evidence to guide recommendations.
​
Together, these approaches provide an opportunity for more individualized healthcare with transparent pricing and ongoing provider support.
What Is Included in Your Membership?
Primary Care Appointments
​
Your membership includes primary care appointments based on your individual medical needs.
​
Whether you need an evaluation for a new concern, management of an existing condition, or follow-up after treatment, we determine appropriate care based on your health status.
​
We do not require unnecessary appointments simply to maintain your membership.
​
Comprehensive Health Evaluations
​
We evaluate your concerns using a functional and integrative perspective.
​
Depending on your symptoms and medical history, this may involve assessing:
-
Fatigue and low energy
-
Thyroid function
-
Hormonal changes
-
Weight gain and metabolic concerns
-
Insulin resistance and blood sugar regulation
-
Cardiovascular risk factors
-
Nutritional deficiencies
-
Sleep disturbances
-
Stress and mental health
-
Digestive health concerns
Testing and treatment recommendations are individualized and based on clinical findings.
​
Medication Management
​
We provide ongoing medication management when appropriate, including prescription reviews, treatment adjustments, and monitoring.
​
We consider medication effectiveness, potential side effects, interactions, and opportunities to simplify treatment when medically appropriate.
​
Preventive Healthcare
​
Preventive care is an important part of maintaining long-term health.
​
We address recommended screenings, cardiovascular and metabolic risk factors, nutrition, physical activity, and other preventive health concerns.
​
Individualized Follow-Up
​
Not every patient needs the same appointment schedule.
​
Patients with stable conditions may require less frequent visits. Others may benefit from closer monitoring, particularly when starting or adjusting treatment.
​
Follow-up frequency is determined by clinical need, treatment response, and patient safety.
​
Access to Labs, Medications, Supplements, and Injections at Cost
​
One of the benefits of our direct-pay approach is transparent access to healthcare services and products without traditional insurance billing markups.
​
When clinically appropriate, members have access to:
Laboratory Testing
Routine and expanded laboratory testing to support diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring.
​
Prescription Medications
Access to medication options at cost when available through our clinic's participating pharmacy arrangements.
​
Professional-Grade Supplements
Access to supplements selected based on individual needs and clinical recommendations.
​
Therapeutic Injections
Injection services when medically appropriate and available through our practice.
Laboratory testing, medications, supplements, and injections may involve additional charges. We discuss costs with you before proceeding.
