Henry Youga

Dr. Henry J. Youga, MD, is the founder and sole physician of Sovereign Direct Primary Care in Columbus, Ohio. He is a Board‑Certified Family Medicine physician who created the practice to offer a subscription‑based, direct primary care model that removes the constraints of traditional insurance billing. Dr. Youga believes that a relationship‑focused approach—where patients have direct, unlimited access to their doctor via phone, text, video, or email—allows for longer appointments, personalized preventive care, and true partnership in health management.

At Sovereign DPC, Dr. Youga emphasizes patient empowerment, transparency, and continuity of care. The practice’s mission is to help members “be the sovereign of their wellness,” providing comprehensive services ranging from annual wellness visits and chronic disease management to lifestyle counseling and same‑day acute care. By keeping patient panels small, he can spend the time needed to listen, diagnose, and coordinate care without the pressures of fee‑for‑service volume.

Dr. Youga’s clinical background includes extensive experience in primary care settings, and he is committed to delivering compassionate, evidence‑based care while fostering a collaborative, patient‑centered environment.
