About Doctor Lon

The RootMD clinic is run by Doctor Lon, a Board-Certified Family Physician (through the NBPAS). After growing up in the beautiful Willamette Valley of Oregon, Dr. Lon attended Gonzaga for his undergraduate studies (Go ZAGS!) and obtained his Medical Degree from USC. He spent a year as a Head and Neck Surgical intern, then went on to complete Family Medicine residency at UC San Diego. Afterwards, he worked for 5 years as a Primary Care Provider at Scripps Clinic, San Diego's premier health care organization.

However, the insurance-based system limited him from providing the comprehensive, prevention-first care that he believes patients deserve. To achieve this he started RootMD, a Direct Primary Care clinic, where the doctor-patient relationship is paramount. This enables patients to make their own medically informed decisions. Dr Lon is particularly interested in longevity, health-span maximization and caring for people who have been told “there’s nothing wrong with you”.

Dr. Lon started this endeavor in his wife's home state of Florida, and, with two young children, is finally living near family! He calls Indialantic his home, and when not in the office, you'll find Dr. Lon with his feet in the ocean, or his hands in the soil of his garden.
