Our Promise to You
So many people in America are fed up with the corporate, impersonal and broken healthcare system. At Beargrass, we hope to give people what is too often missing in primary care:
-
The time you need to share your concerns and get your questions answered
-
A space designed to feel comfortable
-
A healthcare experience that is easy, kind and joyful, delivered by people you know and trust
-
Family doctors who are here for you, to help you navigate a complicated, frustrating, expensive system
-
A commitment to giving you and your family the most up-to-date, 21st century primary care available
Meet Dr. Tim Caramore, MD, MS
Board-certified Family Medicine Physician
Tim is a proud family doctor who loves serving as a primary care doctor to people of all ages. His work at Beargrass is driven by a vision of what family medicine can become in the third decade of the 21st century: more dependable, more intentional, focused broadly on health and resilience rather than narrowly on a list of diseases, delivered by people our patients know and trust in a setting that combines joy, whimsy, comfort and style.
Co-Founder Chris Hallberg, MD
Board-certified Family Medicine Physician
* Chris’ last day seeing patients at Beargrass was June 12, 2024. He will be checking patient portal messages and processing requests until July 10. Please contact the clinic for assistance with transferring your records to your new provider. *
Meet Karen Olivarez, RMA
