Dr. Gaies provides comprehensive care for acute and chronic conditions, mental health concerns such as anxiety and ADHD, preventive care, and more. Equally important is her approach—one that prioritizes commitment, thoroughness, and an understanding that health extends beyond physical symptoms to include mental and social well-being.

Dr. Gaies practices evidence-based medicine but also believes in thinking outside the box. If there is a creative, safe, and effective approach that aligns with a patient’s values, she is open to exploring it. The key is making informed decisions together.

No, and that’s intentional. Insurance often imposes restrictions on how care is delivered, limiting both time and flexibility. Instead, membership covers primary care needs—allowing patients to focus on their health rather than what insurance approves. Patients can still use insurance for prescriptions, labs, imaging, specialists, hospital visits, and other services outside of primary care.

Membership covers unrushed office visits, virtual visits, direct messaging with Dr. Gaies, and a focus on preventive and whole-person care. It also includes many in-office procedures, chronic disease management, and guidance on outside services such as imaging, labs, and medications.

While these are not included in the membership, Dr. Gaies helps patients find the most cost-effective options. You can use your insurance for coverage or, if preferred, access negotiated cash prices at nearby businesses.

Appointments range from 30 to 90 minutes because real conversations take time.

As often as needed. There are no limits on visits or communication—whether it’s a longer in-person conversation, a quick check-in, or a simple question by message.

Patients can reach out anytime through the patient portal. If something urgent arises, Dr. Gaies helps determine the best next step—whether that’s advice, an appointment, or directing them to the right care setting.

If you want a doctor who takes time, listens, and offers flexible, thoughtful care without the constraints of rushed visits and insurance rules—then yes, this practice is likely a great fit for you.

If "holistic" means treating the whole person, then yes—absolutely. Health isn’t just about physical well-being; mental, emotional, and social health matter just as much. Dr. Gaies ensures that all these aspects are considered when caring for her patients.
