Frequently Asked Questions
PEAKMD does not accept insurance; however, you may use HSA/FSA funds for payment.
At PEAKMD, we prioritize a collaborative patient-doctor relationship, focusing on prevention, optimal health, and personalized care. The traditional insurance model is designed for a reactive, illness-based system and population-level healthcare, which does not align with our approach to individualized, precision medicine. By operating outside of the insurance system, we can dedicate the time and attention necessary to provide truly personalized, proactive healthcare tailored to your unique needs.
Yes, we offer a 3% discount for patients who pay in cash.
At PEAKMD, we recognize that our services represent a significant investment, but we also believe in the value of comprehensive, personalized healthcare. Everyone deserves the opportunity to take charge of their health, regardless of financial circumstances. To support this, we offer a scholarship program once per quarter for individuals who have the desire to participate but may lack the financial means. If you are interested in applying, please contact us for more details.
Health is complex, and every individual has unique goals and needs. At PEAKMD Health, we take a personalized approach to care, which can feel different from traditional healthcare models. I’m happy to discuss your specific questions and provide more clarity—feel free to contact me to schedule a quick call.
You can pursue that option elsewhere, but not at PEAKMD.
While GLP-1 medications are a revolutionary tool for individuals struggling with obesity, I strongly believe they should be part of a comprehensive, long-term strategy that includes lifestyle, metabolic health, and personalized support. Sustainable health isn’t achieved through quick fixes—lasting results come from a holistic approach that empowers you with the tools to maintain your progress for life.
No, I do not consider longevity to be biohacking.
Biohacking often involves experimental or unproven modifications in an attempt to optimize health. While some aspects may have merit, the field is often clouded by pseudo-science, lack of scientific validation, over-reliance on gadgets, and a focus on shortcuts rather than addressing root causes.
At PEAKMD, my approach to longevity is rooted in evidence-based medicine, precision diagnostics, and sustainable lifestyle interventions. There is no "hack" for health—true longevity comes from understanding your body's needs, making informed choices, and implementing lasting strategies for optimal well-being. My role is to help you separate fact from fiction and focus on what truly works.
Yes, I prescribe testosterone to both men and women when clinically appropriate.
Testosterone therapy can be beneficial for individuals experiencing symptoms of deficiency, but it is not a one-size-fits-all solution. My approach is personalized and evidence-based, ensuring that any treatment is guided by thorough assessments, laboratory testing, and a deep understanding of each patient's unique health profile. If you’re considering testosterone therapy, we can discuss your specific needs and determine if it’s the right option for you.
You don’t have to do anything, but exercise is a key pillar of long-term health.
Maintaining muscle mass supports metabolic health, injury prevention, and overall resilience, while improving VO2 max—the single strongest predictor of longevity. Regular movement isn’t just about fitness; it’s about sustaining your healthspan and optimizing your body’s function over time.
If you have concerns about your ability to exercise, let’s talk. I can help you find an approach that fits your abilities, goals, and lifestyle.
Yes, I offer telehealth when appropriate.
While I believe in-person visits foster a more personalized and nuanced patient-doctor relationship, I understand that in some cases, virtual visits are necessary. Certain aspects of care don’t translate perfectly to telehealth, but there are often effective workarounds to ensure you still receive high-quality, individualized care. If you’re interested in a telehealth appointment, we can discuss what would work best for your specific needs.
Unfortunately, due to strict Medicare regulations, I am unable to accept Medicare patients at this time.
I hope to opt out of Medicare in the future, which would allow me to provide care for patients over 65 outside of the Medicare system. If you have questions about eligibility or alternative options, feel free to reach out.
I am currently licensed to see patients in Oregon and Alaska and will soon be adding California.
If you're located outside of these states, feel free to reach out—we can discuss potential options based on your location and specific needs.
Yes. Every person has the ability to improve their health and reach their goals—it’s just a matter of finding the right approach for you.
Some individuals may face greater challenges than others, but with a personalized plan, the right tools, and expert guidance, progress is always possible. Let’s discuss your unique situation and create a strategy that works for you. Feel free to reach out for a call.

At PEAKMD Health, patient safety and treatment efficacy are my top priorities. I do prescribe compounded medications if appropriate. My preference is to utilize FDA approved medications as compounded do not undergo the same rigorous safety, quality, and efficacy testing as brand-name versions. The FDA has also raised concerns about the reliability and consistency of some compounded formulations.
For patients needing GLP-1 therapy, I focus on FDA-approved medications, working with insurance and pharmacy options to find affordable, high-quality alternatives when needed. My goal is to ensure you receive the safest, most effective treatment for sustainable health and metabolic success.
