Our care is focused on expanded preventative testing to optimize your health and help you live a fuller, healthier life. We’re also here to treat you when you’re sick and manage chronic medical conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, asthma, and COPD. We offer same or next-day appointments for urgent issues as well as in-office or telehealth appointments for your convenience. Visits with Dr. Stehling are extended compared to traditional clinics so you feel seen and heard with every visit. We accept a limited number of patients so our members can enjoy enhanced access to exceptional care. Invest in your health journey today and join Empower Wellness DPC!

Preventative care that puts you first

As a member of our practice, you partner directly with your doctor through our innovative direct pay model. By removing the barriers of insurance and traditional healthcare, we keep our patient panel smaller than most primary care clinics in order to provide concierge care.

Education that supports your total health

Dr. Stehling offers extended visits (30-60 minutes) so she can get to know you and your unique health history. She emphasizes an educational approach so you feel empowered to make decisions that help you live a fuller, healthier life.

An investment in your peace of mind

We offer unparalleled access to your doctor via calls, texts, or video chats. Ukiah and Mendocino County residents often wait weeks or months for an appointment! As a member, enjoy enhanced access to your personal physician and inclusive primary care for one transparent monthly fee.
