As a direct primary care provider, we focus on you and your health without the influence of unnecessary third party restrictions. We see far fewer patients than a traditional insurance-based practice so we can provide you the best care possible.
Our patient benefits include full access to care without barriers. You’ll have more time with your doctor, 24/7 access, no co-pays, and no limit on visits. This includes physicals, pediatric care, wellness education, chronic disease management, simple procedures, and more. Check out our full description of benefits here.
I am an Internal Medicine physician with fifteen years’ experience caring for adult patients. I am board-certified in Internal Medicine. For the last ten years, I have been caring for patients in West Branch. After working as an employed physician for a hospital group, I have decided to open my own independent practice. I received my medical education from Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine. Prior to medical school, I earned a Ph.D. in Molecular-Cellular Biology from Northwestern University in Chicago, Illinois, and completed postdoctoral fellowships at the National Institutes of Health and the University of Michigan. In addition, I received formal training and am board certified in Wound Care. I live in West Branch with my husband Jonathan Berns, DDS, and our two sons Aaron and Zane. Our family has become happy members of the West Branch community and enjoys life in a rural setting.
I have been a Medical Assistant for 16 years. Special training and certifications in respiratory health, X-ray technician, and wound care. I'm married to a wonderful man. We have three young boys. We love the community we are in, this has been the best experiences living in northern Michigan. We like to go trail riding, camping, fishing, hiking and hunting.
