Aphai is a traditional adult primary care practice paired with a dedicated, cash-pay obesity medicine clinic. We take most major insurance, keep our pricing honest, and give every patient the time to be heard.
Aphai serves adults age 18 and older, with a special focus on internal medicine and obesity medicine. Primary care is billed through your insurance; obesity medicine runs as a separate, cash-pay clinic with simple flat fees.
Annual physicals, screenings, immunizations, women's and men's health, and personalized wellness planning — billed straightforwardly through your insurance.
Diabetes, hypertension, thyroid, cholesterol, asthma, and more — managed proactively with the time and continuity these conditions deserve.
Sick visits, infections, injuries, rashes, and the everyday "I just need to see someone today" — same-week availability whenever we can manage it.
A dedicated, judgment-free approach to weight and metabolic health — including GLP-1s and other evidence-based medications when appropriate, nutrition, and long-term lifestyle support from a physician trained in the field. Cash-pay: $75 first visit, $50 follow-ups.
Anxiety, depression, and stress care from a physician who takes the time to listen — with referrals to vetted partners for specialized needs.
When you need a specialist, imaging, or a hospital, we'll help you navigate it — finding the right partner, advocating on your behalf, and keeping the whole picture in view.
What we don't handle in-house: hospital stays, specialists, in-office procedures, and emergencies. For those, we'll refer you to the right partner and stay involved in coordinating your care. Imaging and prescription medications are filled at the facility or pharmacy of your choice.

อภัย · Aphai
In Thai, Aphai means forgiveness. We believe everyone deserves a second chance at health — to step back, start again, and be cared for without judgment.

Dr. Andy founded Aphai Primary Care to bring back something simple: a clinic where patients are people, not appointment slots. The practice pairs traditional, insurance-based adult primary care with a focused, cash-pay obesity medicine clinic — two services built on a single philosophy of unhurried, judgment-free care.
The name Aphai comes from the Thai word for forgiveness. It reflects the practice's core belief: that every patient deserves to be met without judgment and given a true second chance to take charge of their health — whether that means rebuilding after a setback, breaking a long pattern, or simply starting fresh.
Aphai is two practices under one roof. Adult primary care — physicals, sick visits, chronic condition management — is billed through your insurance, just like any traditional clinic. Obesity medicine runs as a separate, cash-pay clinic with simple flat fees: $75 for the initial consultation and $50 for every follow-up visit.
Most major insurance plans. Plans change often, so please call us before your first visit to confirm we're in-network for yours — or send us a quick message below and we'll check for you.
Your cost depends on your insurance plan — copays, deductibles, and coinsurance work the same way they do at any in-network clinic. We'll bill your insurer directly, and you'll only owe what your plan determines.
Most insurance plans either don't cover obesity medicine well, or they cover it with so many restrictions that real, evidence-based care becomes hard to deliver. By running obesity medicine as a separate cash clinic, we can offer comprehensive metabolic care — including GLP-1 medications when appropriate — without the gatekeeping. $75 for the initial visit, $50 for every follow-up, no insurance billing.
Your visit fee covers the medical care — evaluation, prescribing, monitoring, lifestyle counseling, and follow-up. The medications themselves (including GLP-1s like semaglutide and tirzepatide) are filled and paid for separately at the pharmacy of your choice. We'll help you find the most affordable path, whether that's through your insurance, manufacturer savings programs, or compounded options when appropriate.
Coverage varies by specific plan. Please call to confirm whether we're in-network for your Medicare or Medicaid plan before your first visit.
Call our office, send us an email, or use the contact form below. New patients will receive a brief intake form to complete before the first visit.
Prescriptions are sent electronically to the pharmacy of your choice. For primary care, your insurance's pharmacy benefit usually applies. For obesity medicine, prescriptions are paid out-of-pocket at the pharmacy — we'll always discuss cost openly and help you find the most affordable option.
For routine vaccines we don't stock in-house, we'll review what you need and point you to the most affordable option — usually a local pharmacy (Walgreens, CVS) or the county health department, where most vaccines are inexpensive or fully covered by insurance.
Aphai focuses on internal medicine and obesity medicine — comprehensive, relationship-based primary care for adults. We don't perform in-office procedures such as biopsies, joint injections, or suturing. When you need one, we'll refer you to a trusted specialist and stay involved in coordinating your care.
Whether you're booking your first visit, curious about obesity medicine, or have a question about insurance, we'd love to hear from you. Most inquiries get a personal reply within one business day.
