Why I practice this way
This is how care should work.
The standard of care
Tagge Health
Twelve minutes with a doctor watching a screen, not you. In a sterile room.
The visit ends when your questions do. From the comfort of your home.
You message a portal about a concern, and days later a stranger replies.
You contact me directly, and I answer personally.
A specialist for every symptom. No one looking at the whole person. Focused on disease.
One physician. The whole person. Focused on your long-term health.
“Your labs are normal. See you next year.”
Normal describes a population, not you. I compare your results to optimal ranges to keep you feeling and performing your best.
The system exists for sickness.I am here for your health.
What this looks like
Most medicine is episodic. I practice the opposite.
I come to you.
Home visits across the Charlotte metro, video across North Carolina. There is no office because the time an office takes belongs to your case.
You reach me directly.
My phone and my email, and I answer personally.
I measure what changes.
Your physiology, read over years, compared with where you want to be, with testing chosen by judgment rather than protocol.
One physician for all of it.
Primary care and longevity under the same doctor, so nothing about you gets read once and forgotten.
How it begins
A relationship, not a transaction.
- 01
Apply.
A few minutes, nothing medical. I read every application myself and call you within one business day.
- 02
The Precision Health Assessment.
If we are a fit, care begins with one comprehensive physician review of your history, your data, and your goals: $500, credited toward your first year if we continue.
- 03
The written plan.
What matters, what connects, and what comes next. It is yours either way.
- 04
We decide together.
Within 30 days, whether ongoing care makes sense and which form it takes.
Ongoing care
Two forms of ongoing care.
Precision Partnership
I am your doctor. All of it: primary care, prevention, and longevity, under one physician who knows your history without looking it up. Sick visits, prescriptions, referrals, and the long work of keeping you well, at your home in Charlotte or on video.
From $5,000 per year.
Longevity Membership
You keep your primary care physician. I take on the rest: measuring your physiology over time, reading what changes, prevention strategy, and the decisions about what is worth doing. Your doctor and I coordinate; I do not replace them.
From $3,000 per year.
The difference is whether I am your primary care physician. Everything else about how I work is the same.
Your physician
Medicine starts with listening.
Hi, I’m Daniel Tagge. I’m a board-certified family physician, and I grew up in a family of physicians: my parents are both surgeons, and both of my grandfathers were doctors. I built this practice because conventional medicine rarely gave me enough time to understand the person behind the chart.
Here, the first visit is different. You talk. I listen. I have already reviewed your history, and there is no screen between us. We begin by understanding what is happening, what matters to you, and what deserves attention first.
My commitment
Independent advice.Transparent costs.
You should never have to wonder whether I recommended a test, supplement, medication, or service because I profit from it.
My job is to tell you what I think is worth doing, what is not, and why.
No commissions or rebates.
I do not accept financial incentives from laboratories, supplement companies, or outside vendors.
No product markup.
I do not add a margin to testing, medications, or supplements. When I arrange access, you pay the laboratory, pharmacy, or supplier directly at the same price available through my practice.
A clear separation.
My fee is for my medical care. Third-party costs remain separate and are not a source of profit to me.
My incentives stay aligned with your health.
From patients
“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.”
Questions
Frequently asked questions.
You start by applying. It takes a few minutes and nothing medical, and I read every application myself and call you within one business day. If we are a good fit, care begins with the Precision Health Assessment: one comprehensive physician review of your history, your data, and your goals, $500, credited toward your first year if we continue. The Assessment stands on its own. Within 30 days we decide together whether ongoing care makes sense and which form it takes.
