Single Visit Medical Care

Focused, Thoughtful Care — Without the Long-Term Commitment

At James Clinic, we offer single-visit medical appointments for individuals and families who want high-quality, physician-led care for a specific need, without enrolling in comprehensive or long-term services.

These visits are designed to be thorough, efficient, and clinically sound, while remaining clearly distinct from our deeper integrative and functional medicine programs.

What a Single Visit Is

A single visit at James Clinic is a standalone medical evaluation intended to address a defined concern or provide a focused wellness assessment.

Each visit is $350 and includes:

A comprehensive clinical evaluation
Thoughtful medical decision-making
Layered recommendations that may include traditional and integrative support
Same-day interpretation of any relevant findings
A short-interval follow-up to review labs or data collected during the visit
A brief check-in within a few days if clinically indicated

This is real medicine, delivered with clarity and intention — not rushed, not dismissive, and not transactional.

Questions about Precision Lab Assessments ?

What Single Visits Include

Every single visit includes:

A comprehensive clinical assessment, not a rushed checklist
Evidence-based recommendations
Integration of conventional and integrative options where appropriate
Clear guidance and expectations
Follow-up on any labs or findings obtained during the visit

We take your concern seriously, even when it’s a one-time encounter.

What Single Visits Do Not Include

To maintain clarity and fairness, single visits do not include:

Ongoing medical management
Chronic disease care
Extensive or specialty testing
Functional medicine evaluations
Deep-dive root cause analysis
Multi-system diagnostic workups

If your needs extend beyond the scope of a single visit, we will explain that clearly and outline available options — without pressure.

A Note on Vaccines

James Clinic does not push vaccines.

If vaccines are discussed, it is done only in the context of informed, respectful conversation, guided by patient preference and individual risk — never mandates or coercion.

When a Single Visit Is the Right Choice

Single visits are ideal if you:

Want high-quality medical care for a specific issue
Prefer a one-time consultation
Are currently healthy and want a wellness check
Have an acute illness of short duration
Value thoughtful medicine without long-term enrollment

When a Different Level of Care May Be Better

If you are experiencing:

Chronic or complex symptoms
Long-standing fatigue, pain, or metabolic issues
Multi-system concerns
A desire for deep functional or integrative evaluation

We may recommend one of our comprehensive care pathways instead. That recommendation is made in service of outcomes, not upselling.

Our Philosophy

Single visits at James Clinic are not a shortcut. They are a contained, respectful form of care for patients who want clarity without commitment.

We believe good medicine:

Sets boundaries
Honors patient choice
Uses the right level of care for the problem at hand

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is 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!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is 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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is 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.
