ASHLEY BAINBRIDGE

Board Certified Family Medicine with interest in Preventive Medicine which is the practice of promoting preventive health care to improve patient wellbeing and Lifestyle Medicine approach that focuses on evidence-based interventions to prevent, treat/manage, or even reverse chronic diseases by applying the following six pillars of care: Diet/Nutrition, Physical Activity [...] Throughout my career, I have always been hospital employed, but have more recently seen the entire insurance model as a broken system. I believe that insurance companies dictate so much about medical practices and actually contribute to increased cost, less time with patients, and physician burn out. I refused to succumb to natural pressures to change my style of care in that model and utilized principals of lifestyle medicine to survive my own life while, but it never felt truly sustainable. My goals are to provide affordable, transparent medical care in a delivery system that will above all give the gift of time to figure out underlying problems, counsel in health, and ultimately allow you to better care for yourself. My discovery of the direct patient care model came about in my search to figure out the best way to deliver care... my way.
