MEMBERSHIP PRIMARY CARE · BELLINGHAM, WA

Concierge primary care, made human.

Hour-long visits. Same doctor. No insurance friction.

A monthly-membership primary care practice that gives Dr. Scribner — your physician — the time to actually listen, run the workup, and stay accessible between visits. Direct-pay, built around your life, by a doctor who spent nearly two decades inside the local healthcare system.

WHAT IT MEANS

Concierge medicine, in one sentence.

You pay a flat monthly fee directly to the practice, and in exchange you get hour-long appointments, same-day or next-day access, direct phone and message contact with Dr. Scribner, and a patient panel small enough that he reads every lab and writes every protocol personally — no insurance billing, no diagnoses coded to get visits covered, no pretending a fifteen-minute appointment is enough.

“I don’t want a third party deciding how long I get to spend with you. You’re the one I answer to, so you’re the only thing I have to optimize for.”

— Dr. James Scribner, MD, FACEP

What your membership includes

Eight things that are standard with us, that aren't standard anywhere else. Membership care here is built on a functional medicine framework with a longevity medicine orientation.

i

Unlimited 60-minute appointments

No 15-minute slots. No “we'll need a follow-up for that.” The conversation finishes inside the visit.

ii

Same-day or next-day visits

When something happens, you don't wait three weeks. You text Dr. Scribner. You get on the schedule.

iii

Direct phone, text, and email access

Message Dr. Scribner directly. He responds personally — typically within the day, often within the hour.

iv

Annual physical with advanced labs

The full workup — thyroid (with reverse T3), hormones with SHBG, inflammation, methylation, micronutrients.

v

Body composition scanning (InBody)

Clinical-grade segmental body composition at every annual physical — muscle mass per limb, body fat percentage, visceral fat, phase angle. The scale alone can't tell you whether you're losing fat or muscle. This does.

vi

Mental health continuity

Depression, anxiety, ADHD — managed by the same physician, with the workup that looks for treatable underlying causes first.

vii

Coordination with specialists

When you need a referral, we make the introduction, send the records, and stay in the loop on what they recommend.

viii

Member pricing on every service

Discounted member rates on testosterone replacement therapy, hormone replacement therapy, ketamine therapy, NAD+, IV vitamin therapy, and the rest of the menu.

ix

Travel coverage

Phone consults from wherever you are. Prescriptions sent where you need them. Your physician relationship doesn't pause because you're out of town.
