Welcome to the Comprehensive Care Practice

The Comprehensive Care Practice providers and staff work each day to overcome the social barriers our patients face and restore them to wellness.

Core Values

Since its founding in 1994, the Comprehensive Care Practice has been driven by four core values:

  1. Offer respect and hope
  2. Maximize comfort and minimize stigma
  3. Encourage patients to never lose dignity to a diagnosis
  4. Make tomorrow be better than today.

Our patients can expect:

  • Effective, compassionate primary medical care from providers who treat their patients with respect and without judgment
  • Ongoing support to manage chronic illnesses
  • Buprenorphine treatment (this service is offered only to patients followed by one of CCP’s providers for their regular primary care)
  • Access to community resources
  • Referrals for specialty services
  • On-site case management and education services as well as lab services in our office.
