direct integrative care membership
At The Buddha’s Medicine
When it comes to your health, we don't deal in shoddy short cuts or counterfeit quick fixes.
At The Buddha's Medicine, we know that true healing happens with time, consistency, and fully present, thoroughly attentive care. Our Direct Integrative Care Membership Program is an extension of our core philosophy: a care offering designed to support your wellness journey with regular access to the guidance, therapies, and treatments, that will help you feel and be your best throughout the year.
By becoming a member, you're investing in a proactive approach to health—one that prioritizes prevention, balance, and long-term vitality, and that addresses deep-seated imbalance and disease. Whether you're seeking stress relief, care for chronic conditions, pain management, recovery support, or simply disease prevention, your membership will keep you connected to the care your body needs.

Medicinal herbs and supplements are a separate investment. Since Dr. Matt and the team make most herbal medicines custom to need and source products wholesale, you can expect costs to be about 50-60% of what you might spend out of pocket on supplements at the store.

Labs and imaging are not covered under our membership program. Either or both will be ordered only when genuinely necessary, and can be run through a private insurance plan if you have one, or can be ordered at wholesale cost to you.
Our clinic is located in SE Portland's Laurelhurst neighborhood. We offer in-person visits, in-home visits throughout the Portland metro area, and telehealth appointments for patients across multiple states. To explore whether our services are a good fit for you, we invite you to schedule a complimentary 15-minute consultation.
