Personal primary care
Primary care with time, access, and continuity.
WholeFamily MD is a small physician-led concierge primary care practice in San Francisco and Mill Valley. Our doctors know their patients deeply and have the time to care for the whole person—not just the problem of the day.
Doctors who know you.
We combine evidence-based Western medicine with thoughtful integrative care, considering nutrition, activity, sleep, relationships, environment, and long-term risk.
A deliberately smaller practice, built for more attentive care.
We see fewer than one-third of the patients per day that a traditional primary care doctor sees.
