Link Primary Care does not take insurance like most clinics and hospitals. There’s a good reason for this. Insurance adds extra fees and admin costs. It also muddies the doctor-patient relationship. By not accepting insurance, our team is able to provide better service at a lower cost. Instead, get the care you need through a simple monthly or annual membership.
Some HSA programs can be applied, but please check with your policy provider first.
Traditional weight loss programs often rely on strict diets, intense exercise regimens, and even weight loss surgeries to help people shed unwanted pounds. While these approaches may be effective in the short term, they often fail to produce lasting results.

There are several underlying health reasons that contribute to unsuccessful attempts at losing weight. While exercise and proper nutrition will always be part of a holistic weight loss treatment, we want to look at every factor affecting your body composition and weight.
One common factor affecting weight loss is an underactive, which can slow down metabolism and make it more difficult to burn calories. Other hormonal imbalances, such as high levels of cortisol, can also interfere with weight loss. Additionally, insulin resistance, which is often associated with conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and type 2 diabetes, can make it challenging for the body to process carbohydrates and manage blood sugar levels, leading to weight gain.
