MEET THE DOCTORS

Jing-Jing Cardona, MD

Medical Director & Owner

After several years practicing in the current complex landscape of healthcare, Dr. Cardona realized her core values of empathy, respect, safety, trust, and equity were not aligned with the healthcare status quo. She found it difficult to sustain a professional relationship with a system that was profit and metrics driven, that valued quantity over quality, and was impersonal, inaccessible and deliberately complex.

Dr. Cardona found a different and better way.

Healthcare should be accessible, affordable, and patient-centered.

Sharon Garland, MD

Board Certified Family Medicine Physician

Dr. Garland chose family medicine and primary care to focus on the whole patient and prevent illness and disease. However, she found it challenging to engage with a system driven by profit margins and metrics, which often seemed detached, difficult to navigate, and unnecessarily convoluted. This environment contributed to physician burnout, patient dissatisfaction, and a growing sense of disillusionment in medicine.

Dr. Garland sought an improved approach for both herself and her patients. Through Dr. Jing Jing Cardona, she discovered a superior model: direct primary care.
