A Precision Approach to Primary Care

What do we look for in a primary care practice? Competence, trust, reliability, responsiveness and advocacy. Those are the core principles of how we care for our patients.

Join an uncompromising primary care practice and membership-based cardio-metabolic disease prevention program with Richa Uppal MD, MCR in NW Portland.

This practice is for people who recognize excellent health is their greatest competitive advantage and want to stay sharp, active, and resilient - using precise data, modern diagnostics, and a long-term physician partnership.

We help you stay on the path of prevention, early identification of problems, and long-term performance to make each year better than the last.

We Have Agency

Metabolism

The body’s interconnected housekeeping system is called metabolism. Instead of just the heart or the brain, we pay attention to our metabolism, which in turn protects all organs.

Musculoskeletal Power

A healthy musculoskeletal system prevents disease, injury and aging. Musculoskeletal power predicts long term health and is a big ticket item. It is a major focus of our prevention program.

Mindset

The body does not have to be on an inevitable march toward decline— but that does require strategy. We use rigorous medicine to help you be measurably healthier today than yesterday — so the life you've built stays yours to live fully.
