About Essential Health

We are a Direct Primary Care (DPC) clinic serving the Quad Cities area. Our patients pay a flat monthly rate and we do not bill insurance. The care our patients receive is the highest quality and is personalized to their needs (we provide the highest quality primary care available). The monthly fee is more affordable than insurance premiums, deductibles and co-pays. By taking insurance and politics out of healthcare, you and your family will get the care you deserve, when you deserve it.

For a long time, we have feared affordable, accessible, personalized healthcare for our patients would be too difficult to continue and provide. At Essential Health, we are changing the approach of healthcare to ensure our patients are the top priority. We want to assure our patients they will be personally cared for, listened to and respected now and in the future. In a time of unforeseen events, your healthcare will be steady and dependable, exactly what you deserve. At our office, you won’t find piles of paperwork, long waits or rushed visits. What you will find is a simple, authentic and non-judgmental primary provider for you and your family.

It starts with a simple membership. (Yes, we can see you without a membership for a low fee as well!) A monthly contribution to your health, costing less than the average cell phone bill. A low cost, dependable, primary provider that knows you and what you need. We are asking you to join us as we enhance and strengthen primary care. Help us revolutionize your healthcare by eliminating time consuming, costly, needless obstacles. Obstacles created by a system of third-party companies that intrude on the personalized medical care you deserve.

Your Healthcare, Your Way

For far too long it’s been difficult to find a provider you can have a direct supportive relationship with. At Essential Health we aim to change that and provide healthcare that treats you like a real, valued individual. Come see us for your regular check ups or for bloodwork. Our practice has a lot of families with children because we are readily available and our patients don’t need to wait days for return phone calls from their doctor’s office, or go to an urgent care. Many of our patients are interested in preventing illness, not just in treating it. We are an open-minded healthcare provider willing to listen to your concerns and go out of our way to provide treatments that suit you.
