Having ultrasound capabilities in the office means faster answers and better care — right in the moment. We use point-of-care ultrasound to evaluate a variety of concerns including soft tissue masses, joint effusions, and other structures that benefit from real-time imaging. Rather than sending you for a separate imaging appointment and waiting days for results, we can often get the information we need on the spot to guide your care more effectively.
Dermoscopy is a specialized skin examination technique that uses a handheld device to visualize structures beneath the surface of the skin — far beyond what the naked eye can detect. This allows for more accurate evaluation of moles and pigmented lesions, helping us distinguish benign spots from those that warrant further investigation. It's a simple, non-invasive tool that adds meaningful precision to skin cancer screening.
Muscle tightness, myofascial pain, and stubborn trigger points can significantly affect your quality of life. We offer both select dry needling and trigger point injections to address these issues directly, targeting the source of pain rather than just masking symptoms. These techniques are particularly effective for neck, shoulder, and back pain, and can often provide relief that other treatments haven't achieved.
Cryotherapy uses liquid nitrogen to freeze and destroy unwanted skin lesions, including warts, seborrheic keratoses, and certain precancerous spots. It's a quick, effective, in-office treatment with minimal downtime. If you've been dealing with a stubborn skin issue that just won't go away, this may be exactly what you need.
For patients dealing with joint pain from arthritis, bursitis, or other musculoskeletal conditions, corticosteroid injections can provide meaningful relief. We perform joint injections in-office for commonly affected areas including knees, shoulders, and other sites, helping you get back to doing the things you love with less pain. Additional fees may apply.
Cuts happen — and when they do, you want them taken care of properly without a four-hour emergency room visit. We repair lacerations in-office using sutures or staples depending on the wound, getting you cleaned up, closed, and on your way in a fraction of the time. We'll also make sure you're up to date on tetanus and set up for appropriate wound follow-up.
We offer in-office insertion of Nexplanon and hormonal IUDs for members seeking long-acting, highly effective birth control. Having these procedures done by your own family doctor — someone who already knows your health history — makes for a more comfortable and personalized experience than navigating a separate OB-GYN referral for many patients. Additional fees may apply for the device itself.
Ingrown toenails can be surprisingly painful and, left untreated, prone to infection. We offer both partial and complete toenail removal procedures in-office, performed comfortably with local anesthesia. Whether it's a one-time fix or a permanent solution, we'll help you find relief and get back on your feet quickly.
When a mole, lesion, or skin growth needs a closer look, you shouldn't have to wait weeks for a dermatology referral. We perform skin biopsies and excisions right here in the office, allowing for prompt evaluation and peace of mind. Samples are sent to a pathology lab for analysis, and we'll walk you through the results and next steps together. Pathology fees may apply.
For patients who have difficulty getting to the clinic — whether due to illness, mobility limitations, or other circumstances — we offer home visits at an additional charge. There's something meaningful about meeting patients where they are, literally. It's the kind of personalized, relationship-based care that's become rare in modern medicine, and we're proud to offer it. Newborn home visits will always be free! Having a tiny baby is hard enough without packing up everything and coming into the clinic.
One of the most tangible benefits of Direct Primary Care membership is access to dramatically reduced pricing on labs and medications. We purchase many common medications wholesale and dispense them directly from the office, cutting out the pharmacy middleman entirely and passing those savings straight to you. Lab work is ordered through direct-pay partnerships that bypass traditional insurance billing, often resulting in a fraction of the typical cost. It's a straightforward approach to something that shouldn't be complicated — knowing what your care costs and not getting an unexpected bill weeks later.
Lasting weight management isn't about trying harder — it requires the right plan and the right support. We offer both medication-assisted options and lifestyle medicine-informed approaches, tailored to your individual health history, goals, and preferences. We also recognize that health looks different for every person, and that pursuing better energy, improved lab values, reduced disease risk, and an overall higher quality of life matters regardless of where you land on a scale. Whether weight loss is your goal or simply feeling and functioning better, we'll work with you to build a realistic, personalized strategy that respects your body and meets you where you are.
We offer medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder using buprenorphine (Suboxone) and naltrexone, as well as support for alcohol use disorder. Recovery is possible, and primary care is a powerful setting for it. We provide compassionate, judgment-free care with a focus on long-term stability and quality of life — not just managing a diagnosis.
We provide comprehensive women's health services in a comfortable, personalized setting. This includes cervical cancer screening (Pap smears), clinical breast exams, and birth control management — from counseling on your options to ongoing prescription management. We take a whole-person approach to women's health, addressing both the physical and emotional dimensions of care.

Mental health is health, and we treat it that way. We offer evidence-based evaluation and medication management for depression, anxiety, ADHD and more. We also maintain close relationships with local behavioral health providers for patients who need additional support, ensuring you never feel like you're navigating it alone.
Managing a chronic condition like diabetes, high blood pressure, thyroid disease, or high cholesterol takes more than a once-a-year lab check. At Palisade Direct Primary Care, we provide proactive, ongoing management with regular follow-up, medication adjustments, lifestyle counseling, and access to massively discounted labs, ensuring you stay on top of your health rather than scrambling to catch up.
Heading into surgery requires more than just a signature. We coordinate closely with your surgical team to ensure you're medically optimized and that all necessary documentation is completed accurately and on time. Palisade Direct Primary Care's preoperative evaluations are thorough, efficient, and designed to give both you and your surgeon confidence going into your procedure.
Whether your athlete is heading into a new season or needs clearance for a school sport, we make the process simple and convenient. As your family doctor, we already know your child's health history, which means we can provide a more personalized and meaningful evaluation — not just a checkbox form. Same-day or next-day appointments are typically available for members. It's the beauty of Direct Primary Care.
From newborns to teenagers, keeping up with routine well-child visits is essential for healthy development.
