Primary care with time for you.
Membership-based primary care in Stowe, with unhurried visits and direct access to Dr. Ilsley Colton.
Why patients choose SPMC
Care that makes room for you
A membership practice keeps care personal: fewer patients per doctor, more time together, and a physician who follows through.
Time to be heard
Visits with room for questions, discussion, and thoughtful follow-up.
About 30 minutes for routine visits · 60 to 90 for annual exams
A doctor who knows you
Care from a physician who gets to know you and your health over time.
The same doctor, visit after visit
Guidance when you need it
Members can reach Dr. Colton directly by phone, text, and email, including after hours for urgent questions.
Same-day or next-day appointments whenever possible
Care that connects the pieces
Preventive care, ongoing concerns, and coordination with specialists and the hospital when needed.
Your care stays connected
Your physician
Meet Dr. Ilsley Colton
A board-certified family medicine physician who trained at the University of Vermont and spent the past several years practicing hospital medicine in Utah. He and his family have returned to Vermont to build lasting relationships with patients in Stowe.
He chose this practice for its smaller, relationship-based approach, where a physician has the time to listen, think carefully, and follow through.

Membership
Simple to get started

Enroll with the office
The office walks you through enrollment and the membership agreement.
Membership is not health insurance. Members should maintain appropriate coverage for needs outside the membership, which may include hospital care, specialists, imaging, and other services.
Longevity & Regenerative Medicine
Medicine is moving forward. So is your care.
Dr. Colton keeps close watch on the research shaping the next generation of medicine. In 2027, SPMC plans to launch a separate Longevity & Regenerative Medicine program that brings emerging therapies to Stowe with the same careful approach as everyday primary care.
PRP injections
Treatments that use a concentration of your own platelets. Specific uses will be announced as the program develops.
IV nutrient therapy
Intravenous nutrient treatments, offered after an individual evaluation.
Hormone optimization
Evaluation of hormone-related concerns and whether treatment is right for you.
Select peptide infusions
Physician-guided discussion of select peptide treatments, subject to clinical and regulatory review.
Every option begins with an individual evaluation and an honest conversation about benefits, limits, and risks. This will be a separately priced offering, distinct from primary care membership. Services and timing may change as the program develops.
