On an Island.
But Not on Your Own.
Personalized perimenopause and menopause care for women across the San Juan Islands.
Island life has its own rhythms, rewards, and challenges. Finding the right healthcare shouldn't mean planning your life around ferry schedules or settling for care that doesn't fully address your needs.
At Adaptive Wellness, Dr. Anne Wells, ND, provides thoughtful, individualized midlife healthcare through secure telehealth for women throughout Washington, including San Juan Island, Orcas Island, Lopez Island, and surrounding communities.
Anne takes the time to understand your concerns, consider the bigger picture, and work with you to develop a personalized care plan that evolves as your needs change.
You may live on an island, but you don't have to navigate midlife health alone.
Care That Understands Island Life
Living on an island offers independence, natural beauty, and a strong sense of community. It also means that access to specialized healthcare can require extra planning.
Adaptive Wellness brings personalized midlife healthcare closer to home through secure telehealth and a continuing relationship with Dr. Anne Wells.
Less Time Traveling. More Time for You.
When medical appointments involve ferry reservations, weather considerations, and hours of travel, getting care can become a project of its own.
Virtual appointments allow you to meet with Anne from home when telehealth is clinically appropriate, making it easier to prioritize your health without disrupting your day.
A Relationship That Goes Beyond One Appointment
Meaningful healthcare isn't always accomplished in a single visit.
Anne takes the time to understand your health history, concerns, and goals. As you continue working together, she helps you evaluate progress, revisit decisions, and adjust your care as your needs evolve.
Island Independence. Connected Care.
You can value your island lifestyle and still have access to a physician who offers dedicated attention and a broader perspective on midlife health.
Anne works with you to develop an individualized care plan while considering the practical realities of receiving healthcare in an island community.
How Care Works In the Islands
1. Begin with a Conversation
Schedule a complimentary 15-minute introductory call with Dr. Wells.
Share what you've been experiencing, ask questions, and learn how personalized telehealth care can work from your island community.
2. Develop Your Personalized Plan
Your clinical relationship begins with Care Launch, which includes a comprehensive evaluation, individualized care planning, and follow-up guidance.
You and Anne will work together to understand your health, consider appropriate treatment options, and begin putting your plan into action.
Appointments can take place through secure telehealth when clinically appropriate.
3. Continue with a Physician Who Knows You
Your healthcare relationship doesn't have to end with your initial assessment.
As you continue with Guided Ongoing Care, Anne remains engaged in your progress, providing clinical guidance, reviewing changes, and helping you refine your care over time.
Connected to Care, Wherever You Live
Practical healthcare for island communities
Telehealth makes regular conversations with your physician more accessible, but good medical care sometimes requires services beyond a video appointment.
Anne considers those practical needs as part of planning your care.
Laboratory Testing
When testing is appropriate, Anne will discuss available options for having it completed near your home when possible. Some tests may require travel or arrangements with facilities elsewhere in Washington.
Prescriptions and Treatment
When medication is appropriate, Anne can discuss pharmacy and delivery options based on your needs, medication requirements, and available services.
Local Medical Care
Telehealth complements rather than replaces local healthcare. When an in-person examination, procedure, imaging, urgent assessment, or another service is needed, Anne can discuss appropriate next steps and coordination with other clinicians.
Whether you live in Friday Harbor, Eastsound, Lopez Village, or another San Juan Islands community, the goal is the same: thoughtful care that takes your location, circumstances, and health needs into account.
