Welcome to Vegan Primary Care

Finding the right Primary Care doctor can be difficult, no matter who you are. But when you’re a vegan, it can be even harder. That’s why we created Vegan Primary Care. A telehealth practice licensed to help you in most US States, providing care from a vegan doctor’s perspective.

As board-certified physicians, we provide many of the same services as any primary care doctor you see in person – writing prescriptions, ordering imaging or lab tests, and making referrals. But rather than rely only on the Western model of medicine, which manages chronic conditions with pills, we believe in plant-based care that seeks to achieve optimum health through a whole-foods plant-based diet, enjoyable exercise and maintaining quality relationships.

Our focus on individual treatment is evident in everything we do. We value the doctor-patient relationship, and get to know you personally. Initial appointments are 1 hour with 30 minute follow ups so you never feel rushed.

We look forward to helping support and maintain your long-term health. Contact us so we can get started.

It may be necessary to reschedule your appointment if you don’t arrive in a timely manner. Out of respect for other patients, we request 24-hour notification for cancellation of appointments. Our no show fee is $25.

What age groups do you see? Do you see children?

As a Family Doctor I am trained for all age groups from newborns to seniors. However, I am unable to provide vaccinations for children under 3 years old. For this age group I can still provide care for many ailments, but it is best for you to have a Pediatrician that can give your child their required vaccinations. After 3 years of age, local pharmacies can provide vaccinations.

What are the limitations of telemedicine vs in person care?

Telemedicine is being relied upon more and more but sometimes you do need to have an in person exam. As primary care physicians we listen to your concerns, provide education, order tests, and make referrals. With video visits we will be able to see most exam findings. But, the heart, lung and ear exam are are not possible through basic video visits. In emergency cases where the exam will change the diagnosis, I recommend going to a local urgent care facility for a same day appointment.

How do I get test results?

Please allow 2-5 days for routine test results. If you haven’t heard from us within that time, then you should check the patient portal. If there is an abnormal result requiring urgent attention, then you will be contacted as soon as the result is reviewed.

How do I request lab orders?

For lab order request, please make an appointment to discuss the necessary lab orders. Each lab order is tailored to your specific medical conditions. Dr. Harrington can order labs through insurance or through a cash pay service through his Quest account.
