Our Physicians & Care Team
Healthcare focused on keeping you healthy. By removing insurance friction, we create the time and environment needed for thorough, effective primary care.
Making Healthcare Simple, Collaborative, and Thorough
I founded Tennant Direct Primary Care with a mission: to make healthcare easy for people. The traditional insurance-driven system often creates unnecessary roadblocks, with phone trees, unexpected bills, rushed visits, and constant administrative hurdles.
Direct Primary Care strips all of that away. By cutting out the middlemen, I can focus entirely on keeping you healthy, answering questions promptly, and giving your medical care the attention it deserves.
I practice evidence-based medicine with an approachable, laid-back style. I do not believe in dictating care or lecturing patients. My role is to provide clear clinical data, explain your options, make recommendations, and work together as a team. You are always the decision-maker for your health. If you prefer to explore a non-traditional route, I will collaborate with you to ensure your plan is safe and practical.

Life Outside the Clinic: My wife and I settled along the Front Range because we both love the balance of city amenities and easy access to the outdoors. Outside of medicine, life revolves around our three young kids. At home, you’ll usually find me tackling projects, watching sports, heading out on walks or hikes with the kids, or in the kitchen with the kids experimenting with various recipes.
