The Way Affordable Healthcare Should Be
No Insurance Required
Our DPC practice offers comprehensive primary care with transparent pricing and meaningful patient relationships. You receive the care you need without navigating traditional health insurance, claims, prior authorizations, or coverage restrictions.
Benefits of becoming a member include:
Our direct primary care approach is built around personalized care, strong patient relationships, and continuity of care—something rarely possible within traditional insurance systems.
Many patients maintain a health insurance policy for major medical events such as hospitalization, surgery, or an unexpected hospital stay. Our direct primary care membership works alongside your existing insurance plan, providing accessible everyday care while your insurance remains available for larger healthcare expenses.
This approach helps reduce overall healthcare costs while ensuring reliable primary care and preventive services when you need them most.

Posted on Bryan CowleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Traditional health insurance is failing and designed to be unusable and frustrating for participants. With its pre-authorizations, co-pays, exorbitant out of pocket maximums, inaccessible and non-caring professionals, it’s no wonder the industry needs disruption. Enter, Summit Direct Health Care and its provider, Chad Jarvis. Although forward looking and industry disrupting, Direct Primary Care and specifically, Chad, operate how the medical industry used to be – a knowledgeable medical professional staff, including Jen, who are attentive, compassionate, accessible and comprehensively care for one’s healthcare. I have traditional insurance that would be considered among the best. I chose Chad as my provider to supplement and in many ways replace my health insurance. When I called Chad, he resolved three of my medical concerns that were taking months and did so in exactly one conversation with me. And he’s a great guy. I whole heartedly endorse Summit Direct Health Care in Tooele and my provider, Chad Jarvis. I trust them with my healthcare, and so should you.Posted on Annalese ThorpeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chad is such a caring, kind medical provider.

Chad Jarvis is a trusted primary care provider serving Tooele County.
With more than 20 years of experience in family practice, internal medicine, urology, orthopedic surgery, and clinical medicine, Chad delivers compassionate and dependable care to every patient.
As your dedicated provider, he focuses on personalized care, long-term relationships, and accessibility—qualities often missing within traditional insurance-driven healthcare systems.
Working alongside physicians, specialists, and other healthcare professionals such as a nurse practitioner, Chad is committed to delivering exceptional care tailored to each patient’s needs.
Most primary care physicians manage between 2,500 and 3,500 patients. Our practice limits enrollment to fewer than 700 members, allowing more time for each patient and creating opportunities for extended visits and stronger provider relationships. This means better communication, more personalized treatment plans, and improved outcomes for every patient.
We do not bill insurance. By removing the insurance company from routine medical care, healthcare decisions remain between the patient and the provider. Members simply pay a predictable monthly fee and receive comprehensive primary care services without worrying about deductibles, claims, or coverage approvals.
