Healthcare reimagined

IM WELL is a private, membership-based Internal Medicine practice where patients are valued, their time is a priority and care is unencumbered by the status quo of factory medicine. Our small group of patients receive comprehensive customized healthcare that honors the sacred relationship between patient and physician with a focus on improving healthspan and longevity.

We believe…

The relationship between doctor and patient is sacred.

Utilizing evidence-based medicine to prevent, treat, and manage chronic disease is the best value.

Comprehensive healthcare addresses all elements of optimal health: diet, exercise, sleep, substance, social connectivity, stress management.

Great care is NOT provided in 15-min increments. It requires close follow up, attention to detail, coordination with caregivers, and above all, know the patient and their individual needs.

Our guiding values

Time


No more frustrating wait times or inconvenient appointments. IM WELL offers same or next weekday visits and phone consultations for safe and efficient healthcare, prioritizing your time.

Attention


We prioritize excellent personalized care that addresses the root cause of illness with attention to detail and close follow-up.

Trust


Develop a trusted relationship with a provider who knows and values you. Our team members are all highly trained in Internal Medicine, ensuring you receive expert care.

Integrated


We believe that all medical care should be functional and address the whole person. We follow the biopsychosocial model of medicine, recognizing that you are more than a sum of your parts and a spiritual being. We address diet, exercise, sleep, substance use, social connectivity, and stress management.

Natural


At IM WELL, we believe that the body was designed to work perfectly and that common ailments often arise from living in an unnatural state. Whenever possible, we prioritize safe and natural remedies over unnecessary pharmaceutical drugs.

Honest


We are committed to the highest standards of Internal Medicine, providing accurate diagnosis of symptoms. We only recommend treatments, supplements, and labs that are supported by reliable scientific evidence.

We love our patients

  • Carrie Douglass of Bend, OR

    I'm so grateful I found Dr. Sarah Dawson and IM Well. Unlike a typical primary care physician, she truly took the time to get to know me and my history and to explore a variety of solutions to my health problems. Plus her office is beautiful and you can reach her anytime. I can't recommend her highly enough!

  • I joined IM Well about 6 months ago and for the first time in my life, I have a doctor/partner who helps me live well as opposed to just treating my ailments. Dr. Dawson has customized my exercise, my diet, my sleep habits and preventative supplements that have allowed me to gain strength, muscle mass and improved my overall health. Even though I am in my mid-sixties, I feel like I can continue to aggressively ski, bike, hike and other physically strenuous activities for decades to come. Many times I’ll make an appointment with Dr. Dawson just to discuss opportunities to take my physical/mental capabilities to the next level. Thank you Dr. Sarah Dawson and Joslyn Gibson, PA.

    I have been fortunate to have Dr. Dawson as my physician for the past 5 years. As a 71-year-old active outdoor enthusiast and competitive mountain biker, working with Dr. Dawson has been essential to my wellbeing. It is important to me that my Doctor allows me to be an active participant in my healthcare, and Dr. Dawson has been the best possible partner in that regard. I recommend Dr. Dawson to anyone interested in improving and maximizing the quality of their health.

    I worked with Joslyn after a recent diagnosis of diabetes which was scary for me. Luckily every interaction I have had with Joslyn has been excellent. She is warm, compassionate, explains things in a way I can understand and really puts me at ease. She always takes her time to address my concerns and follows up with me by phone to make sure I followed through with my treatment plan. Joslyn is a great partner to have on my healthcare team.

  • Dr. Dawson's new gig is a revelation. She's always been kind, a good listener, and flexible in accommodating her patient's preferences for treatment. Now she has all the flexibility she needs to take time with each patient and work with them on their short-term needs and long-term health goals. Just a fantastic resource and unquestionably a bargain at the price. Well done and congratulations! Recommended in the strongest possible terms.

    Mike Osborn

  • After going through early menopause and seeing multiple doctors, I am so happy to have found Dr. Dawson! She really took the time to go over my labs and my family history to help me make educated decisions about my treatment plan. She is extremely knowledgeable and was able to explain complex medical and metabolic information in a way that I could understand. I feel empowered and know that my quality of life is going to continue to improve in her care. I’m so thankful I found her and look forward to many years of her guidance in helping me thrive!

    Megan Eskander

  • I believe that Dr. Dawson and her entire team are genuinely dedicated towards helping me to achieve positive outcomes in my health and overall well-being. I appreciate that the IM Well team members take the time to carefully listen to my concerns and are open to alternative paths for resolving these concerns. It is a pleasure to work with a healthcare team that is not driven primarily by monetary ambitions, or focused on patient turn-over, but who want to ensure the best long-term results for the patient.
