WELCOME!
Meet Dr. Rich Goddard MD
With 40 years of expert medical experience and zero malpractice, I've witnessed how true healthcare has become overly complicated and beholden to insurance and bureaucratic edicts.
I have opened my own Med Spa and Direct Care practice with the ability for you to be under a licensed doctor's care without the red tape, high deductibles and premiums.
I offer a wide variety of services.
Come and see me and you will soon know and feel the difference.

What is Direct Care?
Direct care essentially harkens back to the days of the family doctor who engaged with the patient, taking phone calls and even making house calls as needed. The provider contracts directly with the patient for basic healthcare services, much as it was in the days before health insurance took over the way patients are cared for with high premiums, costs deductibles, out-of-pocket payments and industry protocols that limit time with the doctor and real care for the patient. The trend is now turning back to direct care as a preferred model of care delivery. This means I charge a basic $99 rate for a standard visits to be paid at the time of service.
In order to keep costs down and patient time up, I don't accept insurance. I accept cash, credit, debit and applicable HSA accounts. Individuals may also enroll in monthly or yearly subscriptions plans for additional savings that offer unlimited standard office visits. Most patients find Direct Pay is the best and most affordable model compared to the high cost of monthly insurance premiums, high out of pocket deductibles and co-pays. Best of all my patients and I have a true Dr/Patient patient experience as your personal, private, highly skilled physician-- NO long waits, high costs and paper work headaches with insurance companies.
What sets us apart?
Our practice is different. I am your personal, private physician. This difference allows me to prioritize my patients and their care in ways that challenge the model used by most clinics today. From the inviting and inclusive atmosphere to my empathetic approach, I want to ensure patients depart feeling great about their experience, from start to finish. Your questions will all be answered!
What about cost? My fresh approach to pricing with direct pay billing is not only affordable, but also makes quality healthcare more accessible to everyone. You may be asking yourself, “Doesn’t ‘direct pay’ imply that insurance, Medicare, and Medicaid can’t be used to cover the cost of a patient’s visit?” In a way, yes. And while this may cause apprehension, feel assured that this approach allows me to keep prices affordable, and even more importantly, preserves your freedom to choose a path of care that best fits your needs, as well as your budget.
What about insurance? Well, limits imposed by insurance can often mean you are subjected to unnecessary tests to justify an expense, which can prolong your journey to answers and wellness. Some required testing may not even be covered by insurance, which means paying more out of pocket for expensive procedures that may not be needed at all. However we may be able to provide invoices for you to submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement of visits and lab tests.
Payments are always to be made in FULL at time of service via cash, check, Credit or Debit, or applicable HSA accounts. In addition, I may be able to provide invoices and superbills for you to submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement.
