I already pay for insurance. Why would I pay for this too?

Insurance buys you treatment when something has gone wrong. It does not buy time, access, or a physician whose job is to improve your health rather than manage disease. Please keep your coverage for emergencies, hospitals, and specialists. My job is to keep you out of that world.

What if I already have a doctor I like?

Then we decide it together on the call. What I carry is set in your contract: some patients keep another physician and use me for the depth primary care was never built to provide, and for others I hold the whole picture myself. Neither one is the default, which is why it belongs in a conversation rather than a promise on a page.

Do I have to live in Charlotte?

For house calls, yes: I come to homes across the Charlotte metro. Everything else works anywhere in North Carolina, and plenty of the work is done on screen. I am also licensed in Michigan and four other states, so if you are further afield, ask me on the call.

Medicine for health, not disease

My mission

Elevate the Standard of Care.

The standard of care

Tagge Health

Twelve minutes with a doctor watching the screen, not you.
Our visits end when your questions do.
You message the portal about something that worries you. Days later, a stranger replies.
You text me, and I answer. That’s concierge.
A different doctor for every part of you, all of them looking for disease.
One physician, looking for health.
“Your labs are normal. See you next year.”
Normal means no disease yet. I compare your labs to optimal ranges, then work on the metabolism underneath, slowing the damage that drives aging.

The system is there for when you are sick.I’m here to keep you healthy.

Real medicine, the old-fashioned way, backed by cutting-edge science.

Start here

The Precision Health Assessment

One careful read of everything you already have, and the gaps nobody has named. I read it against optimal ranges — where people feel, function and perform at their best — rather than the disease cutoffs a standard panel is built on. It is the one conversation that puts the rest of it in the right direction.

What the Assessment covers

After the Assessment, some people want a full measurement scoped to them, or retain me for the year as their physician.

Our first visit

It starts with your whole story.

Dr. Daniel Tagge reviewing lab results with a patient at their kitchen table

Hi, I’m Daniel Tagge. Third-generation physician, husband, father. I trained at MUSC, finished residency at Carolinas Medical Center, and spent years inside a system that never gave me the time to actually help my patients.

So I left and started my own practice.

By the end, you understand what is going on in your body. For most people, it is the first time they have had clarity about their health.

Our first visit runs deep. You talk first and I listen, start to finish, with no screen between us. Then we build one plan, personalized to you.

The plan you take home

Plain English, built from your chemistry, and rewritten as your results come in. It comes home with you, and it is yours to keep.

I make house calls

Your life happens at home.

Now, your medicine can too.

Your doctor has never seen the place where your health actually happens. You spend most of your hours inside these walls. The air you breathe, the light in your bedroom, the water you drink, the food in your fridge and pantry. All of it shapes how you feel more than anything I could measure in an office.

So I come to you. You are at ease in your own home, there is no waiting room and nowhere to drive, and I see in an hour what a chart could never tell me. The plan I write is designed for the life you actually live.

The molecules you take, and the water you drink.
The food you buy, and the food you actually eat.
The light, air, and temperature in your sanctuary.
The air and light where you spend your evenings.

Your environment is data.

My training

I see the whole person.

Most physicians train in one discipline. I keep adding them.

My commitment to you

Three promises, in writing.

The Health Fiduciary Standard

When I recommend something, it's because you need it, not because I make money on it.

The Fire Your Doctor Guarantee

Sixty days to fire me, and the fee comes back in full.

The Same Day Guarantee

Reach me during business hours and I respond that same day. If I don't, you don't pay for the visit.

Questions

Common questions.

A conversation, nothing more. With me, not a scheduler. I hear what is going on, and you hear how I work. No charge, no card.

It depends which of the three we choose, and that is what the call is for. The Precision Health Assessment is where nearly everyone starts, and for a lot of people it is enough: a full read of where you stand and what to do about it. Testing, medications, and supplements always pass through at my cost, with the invoices in front of you, and many patients use HSA or FSA funds. I will provide documentation for your administrator on request.

It all starts with a call.

Thirty minutes with me, no charge. You tell me what is going on. I tell you how I would approach it. You decide if I am the right physician for you.
