What is Direct Primary Care?

Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a healthcare model where you pay a monthly membership fee directly to your doctor, instead of relying on insurance companies. This eliminates billing hassles and allows your doctor to spend more time with you, providing personalized and proactive care. You will have better access to your doctor with same-day visits to avoid unnecessary urgent care and ER visits. You will get discounts on all of our other services, including osteopathic manipulation and medical aesthetics. This model compliments your private insurance plan, but also works great for those without traditional insurance. Because of federal regulations we cannot bill Medicare for any cash-based service.

Here's what DPC at Examined Life means for you:

  • No more feeling like a number. You'll get greater access to Dr. Brokus and Dr. Moné, with more timely and higher-quality care. Examined Life is here for you when you need us.

  • Personalized care that goes beyond the bandaid. We'll dig deep to understand your unique needs and create a holistic health plan that works for you.

  • Avoid unnecessary ER visits and hospital stays. We'll focus on prevention and provide you with proactive care to keep you feeling your best.

  • Discounted labs, meds, and services. We'll negotiate to get you the best prices, and you'll receive exclusive member discounts on all Examined Life offerings like our weight loss service and med spa aesthetics.

How can we offer all of this? Because we only accept 200 patients, instead of the 3,000 Dr. Brokus had in Kittery! Contact Examined Life today, and let's put your well-being front and center.

  • Dr Kathryn Brokus DO near Portsmouth NH

    Kathryn Brokus, DO

    I'm Dr. Kathryn Brokus, and I'm here to help you achieve optimal health and wellness through positive lifestyle changes.

    As an osteopathic physician who trained at Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, I am deeply committed to harnessing the body's natural ability to heal itself. This philosophy forms the foundation of my approach to patient care. Over the years, I have witnessed the incredible transformations that occur when we provide the body with the right support and guidance.

    At Examined Life, we understand that achieving optimal health is a journey, and we're here to support you every step of the way. Our focus is on preventive care, emphasizing personalized diet and exercise coaching to help you reach your wellness goals.

    My goal is to improve your quality of life whether that means treating migraine headaches with Botox , replacing your body’s natural hormones, helping you lose weight with my obesity medicine program, or using osteopathic techniques to promote proper body alignment and prevent injury.

    But our mission extends beyond physical health. We believe in nourishing the mind and soul as well. That's why we offer opportunities for spiritual and intellectual growth, including engaging book discussions and fellowship activities.

    I invite you to join us on this journey to vibrant health and well-being. Together, we'll explore the possibilities and empower you to live your best life. Welcome to Examined Life!

  • Christopher Moné Jr., DO in York Maine

    Christopher Moné Jr., DO

    Originally from Clearwater Beach, Florida, I made my way to New England to attend the University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine. After completing my Internal Medicine training in 2014 in western Massachusetts, I began serving southern Maine and the seacoast of New Hampshire as a hospitalist, providing inpatient care at all levels of acuity, including intensive care.

    Over the past four years, I have traveled extensively throughout New England and the Midwest, offering medical care to underserved communities. This journey has brought me to Native American reservations and tribes, where I have been honored to be a part of their lives and culture, even if only briefly.

    Back home, I have had the privilege of working with Dr. Brokus. Our shared dedication to our patients and passion for practicing medicine holistically—in mind, body, and spirit—have always aligned perfectly. I am thrilled to join her again at Examined Life to achieve our professional goals.

    When I'm not in the office, I love spending time with my wife, Tricia, and our two children, Dominic and Charlotte. Whether we're at home or exploring new destinations, family time is my greatest joy.

Insurances We Accept

At Examined Life, we understand the transition to Direct Primary Care from regular Primary Care can feel a bit uncertain if you’re not familiar with this model. Let us be the first to tell you — you don’t need or want insurance with us! You’re welcome to keep your insurance for peace of mind, but with our DPC model, you won’t need it to access affordable, high-quality care. For example, a full lab panel that might cost $300 even after insurance would cost just $80 through us without any insurance! You’ll get the care you need without the high costs or the headaches of dealing with insurance approvals, surprise bills, and endless paperwork. For these reasons, there is only one insurance provider we recommend: Taro. Taro is an insurance provider specifically designed to work alongside Direct Primary Care clinics, and is therefore much more affordable and easy to work with than standard insurance.
