Healthcare that provides better access
In August 2023 we transitioned to a Direct Care practice model. Direct Care is a thriving “new, yet old” system of healthcare that provides better access to your doctor. You can find Direct Care doctors in both primary care and in specialty medicine. People are selecting Direct Care practices for their healthcare needs because they are tired of copays, high deductible fees IN ADDITION to their monthly insurance premiums, and very long waits for very short visits.
A Direct Care practice provides personalized attention, plenty of time with your doctor, and appointments whenever you need them. This practice model does NOT participate with any insurance companies.
We have two options for our patients; memberships or fee for service. Plain and simple. No extra fees. One of the most important core values within Direct Care is TRANSPARENCY.
What we offer
Diabetes Care
People living with diabetes of any type have a lot to manage on a daily basis to maintain optimal health and avoid complications. Dr. Costello is board-certified in the field of Diabetes with extensive experience treating associated conditions.
Endocrine Care
Your endocrine system of glands and hormones control most of the functions in your body, and it’s not uncommon for things to go awry. We have a lot of experience managing common conditions such as thyroid disease and osteoporosis, as well as the more rare disorders of the pituitary and adrenal glands. We also treat common women's health conditions such as perimenopause and menopause. See Our Services for our full list of care.
Nutrition Education
We are the most comprehensive resource for all things nutrition! Our passion is teaching our patients about clean eating and reducing inflammation, the benefits of a Mediterranean type diet, and of course the evolving knowledge of the microbiome. Nutrition is at the very core of good health.
Metabolism & Obesity
Years of research have improved the understanding of “metabolism”, and has paved the way for better treatment options for conditions related to weight. Technologies such as continuous glucose monitoring and devices to measure your metabolism can help us analyze how your body works: how your blood sugar fluctuates and how many calories you burn daily.
