Direct Primary Care


Welcome to Lesley James, MD: A New Model of Innovative Primary Care Focused on Women’s Health

I am excited to transition my practice to a women-focused direct primary care model. This change reflects my passion for providing personalized, integrative, and preventive care that truly supports women at every stage of their health journey.

Over the years, I’ve seen the need for a more accessible, compassionate approach to primary care—one that allows time to explore root causes, foster meaningful connections, and implement strategies for lasting wellness. The direct primary care model makes this possible, allowing me to provide same-day access, minimal wait times, and deeply personalized care.

This transition is the culmination of my training and vision to create a healthcare experience that is as impactful as it is empowering. While I will continue to see male patients, my primary focus will be on delivering comprehensive, whole-person care for women, grounded in the time and attention you deserve.

It has been an honor to provide care to you, and I am thrilled to take this next step. If you would like to join my practice under this new model or have any questions, please reach out soon to ensure your enrollment.

With Gratitude,
Lesley James, MD
