About Linden Family Health

# Family medicine, in plain English.

Founded in 2018 by family doctors who wanted to practice the way they were trained — with time for real conversations, plain-language explanations, and a clinic that treats you like family, not a chart number.

  ### Why we started Linden
  
  
  
  Our founders had spent 20 years inside large hospital networks and watched the patient experience get worse, year after year. Appointments shrank to seven minutes, follow-ups became impossible, and clinicians stopped having time to actually explain anything. We started Linden to do the opposite — long visits, real conversations, and a doctor who remembers you the second time you walk in.

  ### How we practice
  
  
  
  Every clinician at Linden is board-certified and credentialed by Stanford or UCSF. We follow evidence-based guidelines but we don't follow them blindly — we read the studies, we know where they fall short, and we explain our reasoning when we recommend something.

  ### Who we treat
  
  
  
  We see newborns, kids, teens, adults, and seniors — the whole family under one roof, one chart, one phone number. Wellness visits, sick visits, women's health, chronic disease, and most procedures you'd otherwise need a specialist for.

  ### Care that doesn't end at the visit
  
  
  
  Every patient gets a direct portal message line, a 24/7 nurse advice line, and a doctor who calls back within the day. Same-day urgent slots, same-day labs, and prescription delivery for established patients.

What we value

## Six principles that shape every visit.

- ### Time with you
  
  Every new-patient visit is 60 minutes. Follow-ups are 30. Long enough to actually figure out what's going on.
- ### Plain language
  
  No medical jargon as a wall. We explain the science, the trade-offs, and what we'd do if it were our family.
- ### Evidence over habit
  
  We follow current guidelines, not what was taught a decade ago. And we explain when the evidence is uncertain.
- ### Transparent pricing
  
  Costs quoted before treatment, never after. We accept all major insurance and post our cash prices online.
- ### Whole-family care
  
  One chart for everyone in your household. We see the kids' coughs and the grandparents' refills in the same place.
- ### Same-day access
  
  Urgent slots held back every morning. Call before 11am, you'll be seen that day or get a telehealth visit.
