How it works
Your path forward.
First a conversation. Then a Workup that goes as deep as you want. Then a Plan, refined as you change.
The Precision Call.
Complimentary fit conversation. Let’s meet. I listen and learn what’s going on. You decide if I am the right physician for you.
The Precision Workup.
After your intake, I propose the testing that earns its place. If you want to go deep, we go deep. I read it against optimal ranges, not disease cutoffs.
The Precision Health Plan.
Personalized health care, built from your data. Every recommendation traces to a finding. Refined as your biology shifts.
Meet the Physician
Trained in disease. Practicing for health.
Hi. I’m Daniel Tagge. A husband, father, and third-generation physician. I trained at MUSC and completed my residency at Carolinas Medical Center. I spent years inside the conventional system trying to make it work before finally leaving to build a practice oriented around health, not disease.
I’m board-certified in family medicine and fully certified in Health Optimization Medicine, the only clinical framework built around a definition of health.
From patients
What patients say.
“I'm an optometrist who built and sold a practice. I know what good medicine looks like and I know what it costs to deliver it. I came to Daniel after trying everything. He found bottlenecks in my metabolism that nobody had even looked for. The work he does is a different category of medicine. If you're tired of being told everything looks fine, or you know your health could be better, start here.”
Matt V.
Optometrist, Practice Founder
“Dr. Tagge takes a different approach to the health system that is tailored specifically to the individual and does not group you with the masses based on standard data. He evaluates your metrics and creates a health plan that is just for you.”
Gordon G.
Gibson Properties LLC
“Dr Tagge was fantastic. He was approachable and professional, answering questions and outlining a plan- all while truly, actively listening. I didn't expect the level of care that he provided, but I'm confident in his assessment and the plan we have moving forward towards better health!”

Questions
Common questions.
A small, physician-only practice built around the relationship between you and your doctor, with care grounded in Health Optimization Medicine, the clinical framework Dr. Tagge is certified in. The job is to read your data, find what's holding you back from feeling and performing your best, and build a plan to fix it.
No. Functional medicine looks for the root cause of your disease. Health Optimization Medicine looks for the root cause of your health. Same tools, different foundation.
Yes, and keeping one is recommended. Your primary care physician handles sick-care, acute issues, and the things insurance covers. This is something different. The practice focuses on improving your health using advanced bloodwork, metabolomics, and microbiome testing, all virtually. The two roles are complementary.
Pricing is part of the Precision Call. The intent is to keep this within reach for anyone ready to invest in their health. The Partnership is a monthly retainer with no enrollment fee and no annual commitment.
Not today. Enrollment is included in your first month.
This is a cash-pay practice. HSA and FSA cards are accepted. Labs and prescriptions may be covered by your plan. Superbills are provided when requested for submission toward your deductible.
Yes. The Partnership involves ongoing clinical care and Dr. Tagge is licensed in North Carolina. Out-of-state visitors can book a call to discuss health education, coaching, or consulting.
Book a Precision Call. Free, about thirty minutes, no pressure. You walk through what brought you here. Dr. Tagge walks through how he would approach it. You decide if the practice is the right fit.
The horizon
Health is a long game.
This medical practice is built around your health. It rests on two beliefs. Medicine should be driven by your data. The relationship between physician and patient is where real change happens.
Some things in your biology shift fast. Energy, sleep, inflammation can move in weeks when you pull the right levers. The deeper work, your muscle, mitochondria, microbiome, resilience, takes years to build. The relationship that supports it has to last just as long.
Healthspan is the goal.
Longevity is its echo.
