Our services include:

90-minute Comprehensive Annual Exams

Coordination of care with other specialists

​

​

Guidance through the complicated maze of the healthcare system 

   Elimination of Fee-for-Service: The problem with fee-for-service care models is that they reward volume over quality. With a flat fee and membership-based approach, the emphasis is placed on prevention and long-term outcomes rather than on fractured, episodic care

"I have nothing but respect for Dr. Dekle and her professionalism. She’s an incredible diagnostician and listens with caring ears and an empathetic heart.

 

She’s very attentive to my concerns and offers a customized plan for my many aches and pains.

 

The staff at Essential Internal Medicine are friendly, helpful and efficient. Plus, they can usually get you in on the same day or the day after. I would recommend Dr. Dekle to anyone looking for optimal healthcare."
