Family Medicine
Your Partner In Health
Thrive Life Center offers a different approach to primary care. While many doctors seek to move through their appointments as quickly as possible, we schedule generous time for every visit. We seek to understand your lifestyle, your health concerns, and support the life you wish to live by helping you make choices that support wellness.
Treating the Whole Person
We provide all the basic services of any family medicine provider. This includes annual physicals, chronic disease management, acute visits, in-house procedures, treatments, and tests.
More than that, though, we are interested in your long term health outcomes. It is our goal to see you living a life in which you thrive.
All Ages and Genders Welcome
We welcome new patients from every walk of life. We are aware that each individual comes with unique challenges. We seek to support our patients regardless of where they come from in life, or where they wish to go.
You are the Priority
Has this ever happened to you? You call your doctor to make an appointment. First, you wait on hold to speak to a scheduler. Next, you are told there is a three month wait. When the day of your appointment arrives at last, you are left wasting your time in the waiting room for an hour before you are seen. When your doctor finally sees you, she is rushed, distracted, and out of the room within minutes of entering. It’s as if she never even saw you.
This happens because many medical care providers are over-booked and constrained by an insurance model of medicine that prioritizes a maximum number of patients crammed into the smallest possible time. At Thrive Life Center, we turn this model on its head. We keep our patient list small so we always have time to see you. We allow generous time for every appointment so you never feel our time is cut short.
A Comfortable Environment
Have you ever wondered why so many doctor’s offices are unfriendly and uncomfortable? We have. And we’ve taken a unique approach with this too. Thrive Life Center is designed with warmth in mind. We’ve added touches in every room to make you feel comfortable during your visit.
Innovative Appointment Models
As much as we love our office, we don’t even have to meet there! Dr. Petralba offers flexible appointment types. If you want to chat about a question or concern, we can meet for a walk, for coffee, or even in your own home.
Your Patient-Centered Medical Home
We will be available when you need us. It’s as simple as that.
