Our Story
Filling the Gaps in Conventional Medicine
The James Clinic was founded out of a desire to create a healthcare experience that truly caters to the individual. Years ago, Dr. Mollie James, a board-certified surgeon and critical care specialist, noticed the gaps in conventional medicine and envisioned a place where patients could receive both functional and integrative care.
Today, our clinic combines functional medicine with cutting-edge regenerative therapies to offer natural solutions to help your body heal itself. Whether you’re facing chronic health challenges or looking to optimize your wellness, we help you find the answers you need.
Who We Are
Medicine where everybody
knows your name.
At The James Clinic, we believe in a patient-centered approach that goes beyond the traditional healthcare model. As a premier functional medicine clinic, we understand how your body functions on multiple levels, and we use this knowledge to empower you to take charge of your health.
Our clinic offers personalized care with the warmth and attention that modern healthcare often lacks. Here, you’re not just a patient — you’re part of our family.
Experience the Small-Town Feel in Modern Healthcare
One of the things that sets The James Clinic apart is our ability to combine modern medicine with a welcoming, small-town atmosphere. Our patients experience healthcare that’s cutting-edge and deeply compassionate.
When you step into our clinic, you’ll find a team that genuinely cares about your well-being and is dedicated to helping you heal. This is healthcare the way it should be — personal, effective, and centered on you.

Do You Take Insurance?
At The James Clinic, we believe in a patient-centered approach that goes beyond the traditional healthcare model. As a premier functional medicine clinic, we understand how your body functions on multiple levels, and we use this knowledge to empower you to take charge of your health.
No one who’s serious about transforming their health believes insurance is the solution to their problems. While premiums continue to rise, most insurance-based care is built around rushed visits, limited thinking, and reactive treatment. The true costs are often hidden: fragmented care, missed root causes, and years spent managing symptoms instead of solving problems.
At James Clinic, we do not allow insurance to interfere with the doctor–patient relationship. There is no third party dictating how long we spend with you, what we can test, or how deeply we can think. You work directly with us, and we are directly accountable to you.
Each visit with our team is the equivalent of 12 to 15 standard 7-minute medical appointments. We take the time to review your full history, analyze advanced testing, connect patterns, and build a comprehensive, personalized strategy. That level of depth is impossible in conventional, insurance-driven care.
Our patients consistently tell us that while this model requires an upfront investment, it saves them time, frustration, and money in the long run by reducing unnecessary medications, avoiding missed diagnoses, and creating real, lasting progress.
This is medicine designed for people who want answers, strategy, and transformation, not just a quick prescription and a pat on the back.

I love the James Clinic and everyone there! I have learned so much about how to improve my health and not just how to treat my symptoms. They are so real there. They talk to you. They engage on a personal level and really care about my health and wellness. I feel very in control of my healthcare rather than being controlled by the provider or insurance company. I highly recommend this clinic and its providers!!Posted on Google![]()

I cannot say enough positive things about Dr James and her entire staff. We work primarily with Sara Taylor, NP, and she has been nothing short of amazing. Our whole family, including my two teenage boys, have been with them for over a year now and we are thankful every day that we found them. One of my teenage sons has ASD, on top of numerous health issues and the attention Sara and the team has given to help him has been life changing!Posted on Google![]()

In addition to being incredibly knowledgable, I really appreciate the care Kate takes with her patients. It's very valuable to me that they are functional medicine physicians/NPs at this practice vs those who wear the doctor title without having medical training.Posted on Google![]()

NPs Justina Timms and Sarah Taylor are always incredibly well prepared, knowledgeable and take all the time needed to explain labs and test results to me in ways that I can understand. Their professionalism and expertise continue to astound me. They also check in after procedures or explanations with well documented follow up. In addition, every nurse at the clinic is warm, friendly, personable, knowledgeable and professional to the Nth degree! Theresa, Michelle, Whitney, Lauren, Brenda, Mary and Chelsea all work hard and are extremely timely when completing procedures such as HBOT and MDI treatments. I have nothing but the highest regard for the James Clinic and all who work there including their lead Dr. Mollie James. My gratitude runs deep for their services.
