Our Philosophy

You’ll never be a number to us. Most important, we focus on disease prevention before it disables. We’re here to educate and give you up-to-date medical options to put you in the driver’s seat in determining the right care for you.

One step at a time. At Thrive we love you for who you are!! Let’s get you on an exercise program. We care for all.

You are what you eat. As partners in your healthcare, let’s first see what you can do to improve your wellbeing.

Medicine only when needed. We avoid “polypharmacy”– treating patients for drug side effects, versus treating the disease.

In the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.

Locally owned, we’re here to be Teller County’s hub for exceptional primary and preventative care. More than just a fix-it shop: We’re here for you to thrive.

“The best care we have EVER received from ANY doctor/nurse practitioner, hands down! They always take time to listen to our concerns. I especially love that James himself makes followup calls days after an appointment to check on us. I’ve never had that before! Highly recommended.”

I am here to compliment your overall health. Diet and exercise is my focus. With James, let’s optimize your wellbeing.

Primary Care means Family Care.

Thrive Primary Care. We do it all. We provide medical care from birth to death. We’ll be your personal advocate and lifeline within our current healthcare system. Privately owned, you are our friend and neighbor. You’ll never be a number to us. Most important, we focus on disease prevention before it disables. We’re here to educate and give you up-to-date medical options to put you in the driver’s seat in determining the right care for you.

You are what you eat.

As partners in your healthcare, let’s first see what you can do to improve your wellbeing. Hippocrates taught his medical students, “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” Two thousand years later we continue to prove his theory is spot-on!

Medicine only when needed.

There’s a proper time and place for pharmaceutical intervention. Blood pressure must be controlled. Diabetes must be managed. But be cautious in thinking a pill will cure all ills. James was professionally taught at Georgetown University that anyone taking 6 or more medications are at high risk for “polypharmacy”– treating patients for drug side effects, versus treating the disease. Avoiding polypharmacy is our goal for your care.
