Your Primary Care Provider in Tooele, Utah — Chad Jarvis, PA-C
Finding a primary care provider in Tooele who actually knows your name, remembers your health history, and picks up the phone when you need them shouldn't be this hard. At Summit Direct Health Care, it isn't.
Chad Jarvis, PA-C is Tooele's direct primary care provider — delivering relationship-based, comprehensive care for individuals and families of all ages without the wait times, rotating staff, and insurance runaround that define so much of traditional health care today.
If you've been searching for a trusted primary care doctor who treats you like a person instead of a chart, you've found the right practice.
What Makes a Great Primary Care Provider?
Not all primary care is created equal.
A great primary care provider does more than treat symptoms. They build a complete picture of your overall health over time — tracking your medical records, understanding your health history, identifying patterns, and helping you stay ahead of health issues before they become serious medical conditions.
That requires time. It requires consistency. And it requires a provider who isn't managing 2,500 patients and squeezing you into a 7-minute slot.
Chad Jarvis built Summit Direct Health Care around a different model — one where the doctor-patient relationship is the foundation of everything, and where patients in Tooele finally have a primary care doctor who is genuinely accessible, deeply knowledgeable, and personally invested in their long-term health.
What You Should Expect From Your Provider
- Consistent access to the same doctor every visit
- Appointments long enough to actually address your concerns
- A provider who knows your medical history — not just today's chart
- Direct communication without phone trees or relay systems
- Proactive care that keeps you ahead of problems
- Honest referrals when specialized care is needed

His background in internal medicine and family medicine gives him the clinical range to serve as a true primary care physician for your entire family — from children to older adults — handling everything from preventive care and health screenings to chronic disease management and care coordination with outside specialists.

Why Choose Summit Direct Health Care Over a Traditional Primary Care Doctor?
Tooele residents have options when it comes to primary care. So why are more and more families choosing Summit Direct Health Care over traditional primary care doctors, popular hospitals, and affiliated facility networks?
Because the direct primary care model simply works better for most patients.
Here's what sets Chad apart from a conventional primary care physician or family medicine doctor:
Fewer Patients, More Attention
Most primary care doctors in traditional settings manage 2,500–3,500 patients. Chad intentionally limits his practice to fewer than 700 patients total. That means longer appointments, more availability, and a provider who actually has the capacity to know you — not just your chart.
24/7 Direct Access to Your Provider
Text, call, or video chat with Chad directly — any time, day or night. No automated systems, no nurse practitioner relay, no "we'll have someone call you back." When you have a health concern, you reach your actual doctor.
Same-Day and Next-Day Appointments
Need to be seen today? At Summit, that's standard — not a special exception. Patients don't have to choose between waiting three weeks for a routine appointment or paying urgent care prices for basic primary care services.
30–60 Minute Appointments
Every appointment is long enough to actually address your health issues, review your medical records, discuss your health history, and build a plan together. This is what personalized care actually looks like in practice.
Transparent Monthly Membership
Summit operates on a direct primary care membership model — no insurance billing for routine services, no copays, no denied claims. Member services are straightforward: pay one monthly fee, get unlimited primary care access.

Primary Care Services Offered at Summit Direct Health Care
As your primary care provider in Tooele, Chad delivers comprehensive care across the full spectrum of everyday health needs. Summit is not a specialty clinic or affiliated facility — it's your medical home, built to handle the vast majority of what your family will ever need from a doctor.
Preventive Care and Health Screenings
Routine wellness visits, annual health screenings, immunizations, and proactive monitoring designed to catch health issues early and keep you on track toward your long-term health goals. This is primary care at its best — not reactive, but preventive.
Chronic Disease and Medical Condition Management
Ongoing care for diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, asthma, thyroid conditions, ADHD, and other chronic medical conditions that require consistent, attentive management from a provider who knows your full health history.
Family Medicine for All Ages
From infants to older adults, Summit functions as a true family medicine practice — one provider, one relationship, comprehensive care across every stage of life. No need to book primary care doctors at multiple offices for different family members.
Internal Medicine Expertise
Chad's internal medicine background allows him to manage complex adult health conditions with a level of clinical depth you won't find at a standard urgent care or walk-in clinic. This makes Summit a genuine alternative to traditional internal medicine doctor offices for most adult patients in Tooele.
Geriatric Medicine Support
Older adults deserve attentive, age-appropriate primary care that accounts for the unique health needs, medication interactions, and chronic conditions that come with aging. Chad's clinical background includes geriatric medicine, making Summit a strong fit for senior patients throughout Tooele County.
Acute and Sick Visits
When illness or injury strikes, Summit patients don't have to choose between waiting for a routine appointment or paying urgent care prices. Same-day sick visits are available for most acute needs — keeping you out of the emergency medicine waiting room for things that don't require it.
Care Coordination and Specialist Referrals
When your health concern requires specialty care, Chad coordinates referrals to the right specialists — and stays involved throughout the process. Summit functions as a patient centered medical home, maintaining continuity of care even when outside specialists are involved.
Mental Health Support and Referrals
Primary care and mental health are deeply connected. Chad addresses mental health concerns as part of whole-person care, and coordinates with appropriate mental health specialists when dedicated support is needed.
How Summit Works With Your Insurance
Summit Direct Health Care does not bill insurance for primary care services — and that's by design. Removing the insurance middleman allows Chad to spend more time with patients, keep costs transparent, and make decisions based entirely on your health — not coverage limitations.
That said, Summit is designed to complement your existing coverage, not replace it. Keep your insurance for hospitalizations, emergencies, emergency medicine situations, and care at an affiliated facility or specialist office. Use Summit for everything in between — the routine care, the ongoing management, the 10pm question about whether your child's fever needs attention.
We provide superbills for potential insurance reimbursement and accept HSA/FSA payments. Many Tooele families pair Summit membership with a high-deductible health plan for complete, cost-effective coverage.
