Introduction

Dr. Ronald A. Primas is a board-certified internist and preventive medicine specialist with extensive credentials in travel and integrative medicine. A pioneer in the concierge medicine movement since 1993, Dr. Primas blends Western and Eastern medical philosophies, combining traditional treatments with holistic approaches such as acupuncture, qigong, nutrition, and lifestyle medicine. He holds fellowships in both the American College of Physicians and the American College of Preventive Medicine and is doubly credentialed in Travel Medicine by leading global organizations. His commitment to personalized, whole-patient care has earned him comparisons to a modern-day Marcus Welby, MD.

Driven by a belief in prevention over intervention, Dr. Primas advocates for a patient-empowered model of care that addresses chronic disease at its roots—behavior, lifestyle, and environment. His practice incorporates cutting-edge diagnostics including genomics, microbiome and methylation analysis, and telomere testing, as well as therapies like NAD+, fasting mimicking diets, and senolytics. Through his “Primas Primal Protocol,” he leads by example, maintaining a disciplined regimen of fitness, meditation, and nutrition grounded in ancestral health principles. A recognized authority in travel medicine, he has been at the forefront of emerging infectious diseases, from HIV to COVID-19, and continues to help patients navigate health risks both at home and abroad.
