Comprehensive testing, a real primary care physician, and a plan that treats what your labs actually show, so you can fight the things you can't control. Now accepting BCBS of Mississippi, Medicare, Humana and more in Ocean Springs.
True health is more than the absence of disease, but it also isn't a guess.
Every patient starts with a comprehensive workup: labs, a full physical, and imaging and body composition where indicated. From that baseline we build a risk assessment that sets how closely we follow you, and a plan that draws on whatever your results call for, from medication management and hormone therapy to nutritional support, IV therapy and mental health care. Your physician orders it, and adjusts it as your numbers change.
You keep the same care team, with at-home monitoring between visits. And because what we do is documented as medical care rather than sold as a wellness package, most services are billed to insurance.
Meet Our TeamEvery service attaches to an ongoing relationship with your physician and care team, not an à la carte package.
Labs, a full physical, imaging and body composition establish your baseline before anyone writes an order. Then we re-measure to see what worked.
A risk assessment, not a sales tier, decides how often we see you and how closely we follow you between visits.
Mental health and the realities of daily life are part of your care plan, not a referral somewhere else.
Eleven service lines, one plan. Some establish your baseline, some treat what it reveals, and all of them run through the same physician and the same chart.
Establish your baseline and prove the change.
Correct what your results show can be changed.
Keep the relationship and watch between visits.
Your long-term health partner, combining the best of conventional and integrative medicine under one roof.
At Preventive CareMD, primary care goes far beyond annual checkups. We build lasting relationships, taking time to understand your full health history, lifestyle, and goals — bridging conventional diagnosis with functional and lifestyle strategies.
See the full picture with panels that go far beyond what standard labs order.
Standard bloodwork often misses subtle imbalances that are early warning signs of chronic disease. Our testing includes advanced lipid panels, inflammatory markers, micronutrient levels, thyroid function, adrenal health, and more.
A thorough head-to-toe evaluation that establishes your health baseline.
Our full physical exams are comprehensive and unhurried — assessing cardiovascular health, musculoskeletal function, neurological status, and organ systems, combined with in-depth lab work and a lifestyle review.
Expert oversight ensuring safety, efficacy, and alignment with your whole-health goals.
Our providers conduct thorough medication reviews to identify interactions, optimize dosing, and explore opportunities to reduce pharmaceutical burden through integrative strategies.
On-site, real-time imaging for faster answers without radiation or delay.
Our in-house diagnostic ultrasound means faster answers and fewer outside referrals. Safe and non-invasive, it visualizes soft tissues, organs, blood flow, and more — with same-day diagnostic insight.
Comprehensive internal imaging for early detection and peace of mind.
Body scans offer a proactive window into your internal health — detecting early-stage conditions before symptoms emerge, using advanced imaging protocols to assess key organ systems and structures.
Restore balance, energy, and vitality with bioidentical hormone therapy tailored precisely to your biology.
Our hormone therapy programs begin with comprehensive testing to establish your precise hormonal profile, followed by a customized bioidentical or pharmaceutical plan monitored closely over time.
Food as medicine — personalized nutrition strategies that heal from the inside out.
Using functional lab data, we identify deficiencies, intolerances, and metabolic patterns, then build individualized nutrition plans supporting your specific health goals.
Direct-to-bloodstream nutrient infusions for rapid, powerful results.
IV therapy delivers vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and amino acids directly into your bloodstream for near 100% absorption — restoring and optimizing at the cellular level.
Specialized assessments that reveal what conventional labs overlook.
Our alternative testing suite includes advanced panels for food sensitivities, environmental toxins, heavy metals, organic acids, gut microbiome composition, and more.
Compassionate, root-cause mental health care that treats the whole person.
Our integrative mental health approach combines evidence-based clinical care with functional medicine — addressing the biological underpinnings of mental health alongside emotional and lifestyle support.
Rural Mississippi hasn't had anything like it: a fully equipped clinic in your own county, staffed on-site and connected live to your physician. The exam, the diagnostics and the treatment happen in one visit, close to home.
Every visit connects you by secure video to your Preventive CareMD provider in Ocean Springs, the same care team and the same chart.
A dedicated nurse at every location handles intake, vitals and hands-on care while your provider leads the visit.
Diagnostic equipment at every location, ultrasound one day a week, and EEG with baseline brain testing two days a week.
Medically necessary IV infusions for iron, POTS, nutrient deficiencies and dehydration, without the drive.
Our integrative approach brings together the best of conventional and functional medicine, delivered by a team that truly listens and cares about your long-term well-being.
Preventive CareMD completely transformed my approach to health. For the first time, a doctor actually listened and addressed the root cause of my fatigue instead of just prescribing something for the symptoms.
The IV therapy sessions have been life-changing. I feel like a completely different person. The team is incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely invested in my well-being.
Finally a practice that looks at the whole picture. The hormone optimization program gave me my energy and clarity back. I cannot recommend Preventive CareMD enough.

His clinical interests include musculoskeletal conditions, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, type 2 diabetes, thyroid disorders, heart failure, cardiovascular disease, atrial fibrillation/flutter, COPD, and autoimmune disorders.
