A doctor who knows you. Our practice is built on a simple idea: good medicine starts with a real relationship.

• Dedicated physician relationship. Continuity of care with one physician who knows your medical history, your lifestyle, and your long-term health goals.
• Unhurried appointments. Routine visits of about 30 minutes and annual exams of 60 to 90 minutes, with same-day or next-day appointments whenever possible.
• Direct physician access. Members receive Dr. Colton's direct contact information to reach him by phone, text, or email whenever questions come up.
• Intentionally small practice. A capped membership means there's room on the schedule for you, personal attention at every visit, and little to no time in the waiting room.
• Testing on site. Blood draws, EKGs, spirometry, and urine testing done in our office, with no separate trip to the lab.

Membership is an annual fee. Please call the office at (802) 253-5020 to discuss the details.

Dr. Bisbee is preparing to pass the practice to Dr. Colton. They have been working alongside one another, and the goal is to preserve the personal approach patients value. We will communicate any changes in procedures, fees, or services directly to patients.

The transition is currently planned for January 2027. We will keep patients informed if the timing changes.

A separate, paid program planned for 2027 that brings emerging therapies to Stowe, with the same careful, individual approach as primary care. It will be priced separately from primary care membership.

Services being planned include PRP injections, IV nutrient therapy, hormone optimization, and select peptide infusions. Each option will begin with an individual evaluation and a discussion of benefits, limits, and risks. Services and timing may change as the program develops.

Not yet. Scheduling and service details will be announced when they're available. Call (802) 253-5020 to ask about future services.
