For decades, people have avoided nuts because they’re high in fat, but WellcomeMD nutritionist Jess Godfrey argues that they’re actually one of the better foods we can eat. When you eat nuts, you’re also getting fiber, protein, and antioxidants all from one filling snack.
Read MoreContrary to popular assumption, WellcomeMD nutritionist Jess Godfrey says that eggs should be an important part of everyone’s diet. While eggs have previously had a negative rep, a study published by the AMA (American Medical Association) found no relationship between egg consumption and heart disease. In fact, people who ate six eggs per week had a lower risk of heart disease than those who ate less than one.

Read MoreDeciding to change your primary care provider is no small decision. Frequently, the choice comes down to patient care: how much time their doctors allot for each appointment, whether their doctors go in-depth when discussing their health, and so on. As doctors struggle to keep up with all of their patients, getting high-level care isn’t easy. For many people, the answer is concierge medicine, or membership medicine.
Read MoreIn a 2016 survey from Consumer Reports, 68 percent of Americans surveyed admitted that they struggle to fall asleep at least once per week. Dr. Mary Colfer believes that there’s a healthier, more effective alternative to prescription sleep pills - practicing good sleep hygiene.

Read MoreWellcomeMD provides comprehensive, preventative and proactive care for all of our members. Our physician’s and their teams are committed to not only improving patients’ outcomes, but also improving their quality of life. We provide a conscientious standard of care in an unhurried environment, where the patients come first. WellcomeMD offers a wide range of services for our members.
You become a WellcomeMD member by enrolling with our doctor’s and pay a monthly fee. This membership fee is a departure from the way mainstream practices are organized, of course. But the fee allows a concierge doctor to see a much smaller number of patients. It provides more of that precious ingredient of quality care: the doctor’s time with you, and knowledge of your health history. WellcomeMD will make it possible for you to be in much closer touch with your doctor, via email and even by the doctor’s cellphone – you have the number. You will pay your co-pays, just as you do in a regular practice.
