About Us
Riley Hooks PA-C, Owner/Founder
I have enjoyed over 40,000 patient encounters in my 9 years of primary and urgent care medicine. I love nothing more than spending time with my patients. They say, 80% of a diagnosis is listening to your patient. Unfortunately, healthcare has become a never ending paperwork, billing and coding, and 10 minute visit service nightmare. All while you and I pay more for our insurance premiums, and less for actual care.
Through my years in healthcare I’ve found the benefit and simplicity of a cash pay system. Straightforward costs with no surprise billing and discounts available on many procedures, medications, imaging, etc.
With VITAL, I can now provide top notch care in the most simple, convenient model. Gone are the waiting rooms, insurance papers, copays, and deductibles. Healthcare like it should be. Call, text, or schedule a visit today.
