Begin
Begin with a complimentary conversation.
Most patients begin with a fifteen-minute introductory conversation with Dr. King to discuss fit and whether further evaluation or testing would be appropriate. The next step, when appropriate, is the Initial Physician Consultation + Systems Review.
How the practice begins
A conversation first. Then a physician-led systems review.
Most patients begin with a complimentary fifteen-minute introductory conversation to determine fit and discuss whether further evaluation or testing would be appropriate. From there, the entry point is a single physician-led consultation that covers intake, testing guidance and ordering, and a follow-up review once results are available.
By the end of the process you will have a clear picture of what is going on in your body, what to do next, and whether ongoing continuity care is appropriate. Testing fees are separate, ordered after the consultation based on what Dr. King recommends. House calls available upon request (+$150).
Step two
Initial Consultation + Systems Review + Follow-up Review — $377
Physician intake and history review, discussion of appropriate testing, ordering of recommended testing, written recommendations summary, and a follow-up interpretation visit. Testing is billed separately.
Step three
Follow-up review & physical exam
Results reviewed together in the follow-up interpretation visit. Introductory physical examination if desired and feasible based on location. Virtual follow-up option available.
Step four
Clinical Continuity, if appropriate
Ongoing physician-guided continuity care is available at $213/month (≈ $7/day). Follow-up / refill visits outside continuity are $150.

A few things worth knowing.
Direct pay
Embody is intentionally a direct-pay practice. Insurance-based medicine often requires physicians to compress complex human experiences into diagnostic and billing categories. This practice was built outside those constraints, in order to preserve the time, continuity, and interpretive depth the work requires.
In-person first
New patients are seen in person on the Big Island. Established patients may use telehealth for return visits.
Not urgent care
Embody is not a replacement for primary care, urgent care, or emergency services. It is the longitudinal practice you keep in addition.
