What if I need specialty care?

Jan 24, 2025

My comprehensive training in Ob/Gyn and my Lifestyle Medicine focus allows me to handle most of your healthcare needs. Although your membership fee will cover most of your medical care needs*, some of you may choose to keep your primary care provider.

If you need to see a specialist, I will help you find the right doctor and coordinate your care. When making referrals, I can consult with your specialist prior to your appointment, as needed.

After your specialist visit, I will follow up to discuss any of your questions or concerns, and arrange additional testing and management if needed.

What happens if I’m admitted to the emergency room or hospital?

This can be a stressful and often confusing experience for patients and their families.

You will be cared for by a hospitalist team. I will communicate with them, review your plan of care, answer questions, and make recommendations as needed. As your health care advocate, I will communicate directly with you and your loved ones, and help you navigate the health care system.

What is Membership Medicine?

Jan 24, 2025

Membership medicine (sometimes referred to as “Direct Care”) is an exciting and rapidly growing model to provide medical care without the costly interference of health insurance companies. Instead, our patients pay us directly through a convenient and affordable flat monthly fee*.

This allows me to keep my practice small and provide you with highly accessible, personalized, and preventive care when you need it. It’s like having your doctor available at the touch of a button. Our focus on ensuring a strong and satisfying doctor-patient relationship is the key to helping you stay healthy.

In fact, it’s the way I’ve always wanted and expected to practice medicine!

How does our practice differ from the typical traditional practice?

Jan 24, 2025

You will experience the difference immediately when you visit us at Schulte Wellness. Our entire wellness center has been designed to create a relaxing and comfortable experience for you, from our reception area to the exam rooms, and from our Teaching Kitchen to the gym. There is little, if any, waiting time. We will take the time to address your health concerns and questions, and your office visits will never feel rushed.

Our focus will be on a gynecologic women’s health and lifestyle medicine approach, designed to translate into better health and vitality for you!

Because my practice is limited to just a few hundred, not thousands, of patients, I really get to know my patients so I can take a more proactive role in your health and wellness and be there when you need me.

My goal is to provide you with an experience that will not just meet, but exceed, your expectations for a doctor’s office.
