We understand managing home/work life while also trying to take your health seriously. We know the feeling of rushing from work to get to an appointment.
I also remember, when I was a kid, our local Farmers CO-OP very kindly leaving our feed/seed order out on their dock because we just couldn’t make it before they closed on Saturday. They didn’t do this because they had to. They did it because they understood.

At SBM, we realize these time constraints and are excited to provide new office hours that expand your options. Same day sick, regular office appointments, IV fluids, and DOT exams are now available to you each day of the week.
For you,
Your SBM Team

When asked why we chose the direct primary care model, we ask this question then provide this genuine answer…

What if your primary care provider actually had time for you?

Instead of rushing through 10 minute appointments, your SBM team spends more time listening, answering questions, and creating a care plan that's personalized to you.

With fewer patients to care for, your provider offers:
- Longer, unrushed visit
- Easy access by phone, email, and telehealth
- Same-day or next-day appointments when available
- A stronger, more personal relationship with your doctor
- A greater focus on prevention and long-term wellness

At the heart of Simply Better Medicine is a simple belief: healthcare works best when your provider has the time to truly care for you. While many healthcare systems are requiring providers to see more patients in less time for metrics and RVUs, SBM is spending the one thing that is important to us all - time.

When your provider can focus on patients, everyone wins.
When you can feel that you’ve been heard, everyone wins.

SBM’s most important metric is your health.

Dr. Sills on why the Mediterranean Diet is an easy Game-Changer for Your Health

Think of it as more than a “diet” — it’s a lifestyle rooted in fresh, colorful, and flavorful foods. Here’s why it’s worth adding to your plate:
✨ Heart-Healthy – Rich in healthy fats from olive oil, nuts, and fish that support cardiovascular wellness.
🌿 Anti-Inflammatory – Packed with antioxidants from fruits, veggies, and herbs to help your body fight inflammation.
🧠 Brain Boosting – Omega-3s and nutrient-dense foods that may support memory and cognitive health.
⏳ Longevity-Friendly – Linked to longer life expectancy and reduced risk of chronic diseases.
💡 Pro Tip: Start small — swap butter for olive oil, add a handful of nuts to your snack, or enjoy a colorful salad with every meal.
Your body (and taste buds) will thank you! 🫒🍅🐟

Managing a child’s diabetes is a 24/7 job—but a major new milestone is about to make it a whole lot easier for families. 💙
The FDA has officially cleared Dexcom’s Stelo Glucose Biosensor System, making it the first-ever over-the-counter (OTC) continuous glucose monitor (CGM) approved for children ages 2 and older.
Here is why this is such a game-changer for parents and caregivers:
No Prescription Needed: Families can now access life-changing CGM technology directly, removing traditional barriers to care.
Real-Time Tracking: The wearable sensor automatically measures glucose every 15 minutes, beaming the data straight to a parent’s smartphone app.
Convenience that Lasts: Each sensor can be worn for up to 15 days, meaning fewer disruptions and more peace of mind.
This milestone is also a massive win for modern medicine. It’s a powerful example of how Real-World Evidence (RWE) is being used to inform regulatory decisions, drive innovation, and bring safe, effective tools directly to the public.
Every child deserves access to the tools they need to manage their health—wherever they are. Ask Dr. Sills and Natalie about how this could help your family.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today cleared for marketing the first over-the-counter (OTC) continuous glucose monitor (CGM) for children, Dexcom Inc.’s Stelo Glucose Biosensor System, an integrated CGM (iCGM) indicated for people two years of age and older who do not use insulin.
