"Dr. Paul, a native of Southern California, has been in practice since 2002 and joined Elevated Health after serving as a medical director in Chicago for Iora Health, a nationwide, innovative, direct primary care organization. Prior to his time in Chicago, he spent 13 years in private practice in Orange County taking care of patients in both the office and hospital settings. Dr. Paul practices the full spectrum of primary care medicine managing all health conditions and is skilled in outpatient medical procedures. He emphasizes a preventive approach to health with all of his patients. As a former college basketball player and athlete he enjoys the field of sports medicine. He has also completed a training program in the science of longevity medicine which aims to prevent the chronic diseases of aging and increase healthspan (the period of life in which you are healthy). This is achieved using a combination of nutrition, exercise, medications, nutritional supplements, and hormone replacement, if necessary. Dr. Paul loves practicing in the direct primary care model where he can spend time with patients and develop relationships with them. This allows him to deliver a personalized approach to each individual patient and have the opportunity to help them live healthier and more vibrant lives. In his spare time Dr. Paul loves being in the outdoors with his wife Kate, and son. He especially enjoys the mountains, where he has climbed Mt. Rainier twice, and can be found snowboarding every winter."
