MT. BAKER MEDICAL · CONCIERGE PRIMARY CARE · BELLINGHAM, WA

Feel better. Live longer.

Science over fads. Results over hype.

Bellingham concierge medicine led by a physician with time to actually listen. Hour-long visits, direct access, and the workup standard primary care doesn't have time for — built by a doctor who spent twenty years inside the system, including as Medical Director of the local ER.

When “your labs are normal” but you don’t feel normal.

Most patients arrive here saying some version of ‘I don’t feel like myself anymore’ — after years of ‘in range’ lab results and prescriptions that didn’t fix the problem. Mt. Baker Medical runs the workup standard primary care doesn’t have time for: the tests no one else ran, the patterns no one else connected. Full thyroid panel with reverse T3, hormone panel with SHBG, inflammatory markers, methylation, micronutrient testing, clinical-grade body composition scanning (InBody).

Then the protocol comes from what your labs actually show — hormone replacement therapy, peptide therapy, GLP-1 weight loss therapy, ketamine therapy, NAD+ therapy — whichever combination the workup points to, individualized to you. The doctor who connects the dots most providers don’t have time to look at.

This is Bellingham primary care without the fifteen-minute clock — a direct primary care relationship where your concierge doctor in Bellingham has the time and authority to actually figure out what’s going on.

Your Physician

Not just a good doctor. The right one for you.

Dr. James Scribner is the founding physician — and the doctor you’ll see at every visit. Same person reading your labs, same person writing your protocol, same person responding when you message between visits.

Twenty years in emergency medicine taught him to take symptoms seriously and run the workup the first time. Functional medicine training added the framework for treating what conventional primary care didn’t have time to investigate.

WHAT WE TREAT

We investigate every system before we prescribe anything.

Rather than treating symptoms in isolation or fragmenting care across specialists, we look at the body as a whole — hormonal, metabolic, thyroid, inflammatory, nutritional, gut, sleep, mental health — and design protocols based on what shows up across the system, not what fits the fifteen-minute slot.

This is what functional medicine means in practice — and what concierge primary care makes time for.
