The Luna Story

At Luna Health, we’re bringing healthcare back to what it was always meant to be — a personal relationship between you and your doctor.

I’m Dr. Laurie Garabedian, D.O., a board-certified family physician and Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine. Being a D.O. has always shaped how I approach care — seeing the body as an interconnected whole, where physical, emotional, and lifestyle factors all play a vital role in well-being. I believe true healing comes from understanding the person, not just the symptoms.

I started Luna Health after years of practicing within a large health system, Steward Medical Group, where I cared for thousands of patients. Like so many physicians, I entered medicine to build lasting relationships and help people thrive — but over time, the system made that harder to do. Between rushed visits, endless paperwork, and insurance-driven demands, I felt pulled away from what truly mattered: my patients.

Luna Health was born from that realization — and from a deep desire to practice medicine the way it should be: personal, thoughtful, and focused entirely on you.

We follow a model called Direct Primary Care (DPC) — a modern return to simplicity in medicine. Instead of billing insurance for every visit, you pay a simple monthly fee that covers your care directly. There’s no middleman, no rushed appointments, and no hidden costs — just a trusted relationship built on accessibility, transparency, and genuine care.

If you’ve heard of concierge medicine, the idea is similar: exceptional access, continuity, and preventive focus. The difference is that DPC delivers the same level of personalized care at a fraction of the cost. By keeping our patient panel small and removing the insurance barrier, we can truly take the time to know you — your story, your goals, and the health journey you’re on.

Most doctors in large systems care for 2,500 – 3,000 patients. At Luna Health, each physician cares for between 400 - 600 patients, allowing us to focus on what matters most: being there when you need us, keeping you healthy, and helping you reach your goals.

Luna Health is also a micropractice, meaning we intentionally keep our structure lean and efficient. We use modern technology for scheduling, record-keeping, and payments — allowing us to keep overhead low and pass those savings directly to you. When you call, text, or email Luna Health, you reach your doctor — not a call center. If we’re with a patient, we’ll get back to you as soon as possible, often the very same day.

Direct Primary Care and the micropractice model blend the best of both worlds: the old-fashioned doctor–patient relationship, enhanced by modern tools that make care more personal, more accessible, and more human.

Whether you see us in the office, out in the community, or through a quick text, you’ll always be connecting with someone who knows you — and truly cares about your whole health.
