Most members pair Summit with a high-deductible or health-share plan for hospital and specialist coverage.
With over a decade of experience in family medicine, Dr. [Name] founded Summit Primary Care to bring back the physician-patient relationship. Board-certified in family medicine, she believes that the best outcomes come from unhurried visits, genuine connection, and truly knowing each patient's story.
After years in the insurance-driven system, she chose Direct Primary Care to spend more time with fewer patients — and deliver the kind of medicine she went to medical school to practice.
Switching to Summit was the best healthcare decision I've ever made. I can actually reach my doctor when I need her, appointments start on time, and I never worry about surprise bills. It's what healthcare should feel like.
