Dr. Naima Spradley
My name is Dr. Naima Spradley and I am the founder and solo physician of Refresh Health.
Outside of her professional life, Dr. Spradley is a dedicated mother and a passionate foodie. Born in New York City, she has been a resident of Maryland for the past 10 years. She loves to travel, explore different cultures, and savor diverse cuisines. Dr. Spradley also enjoys listening to music and dancing, embracing the joys of life beyond her medical practice.
My Story
With a personal understanding of the challenges of weight management, particularly after having her daughter, Dr. Spradley empathizes with her patients' struggles and is committed to helping them achieve their health and weight loss goals.
In addition, my passion for helping women navigate burnout stems from my own experience with its profound mental and physical impact. I understand that pouring from an empty cup isn’t possible and I believe that self-care isn’t selfish—it’s survival. When women prioritize their well-being, they show up stronger in every area of life, making self-care a non-negotiable foundation for lasting health and balance.
After practicing medicine for 10 years, I grew increasingly frustrated with the impersonal nature of traditional healthcare systems. My patients often felt like numbers, and there was little time to build the meaningful relationships that are so crucial to effective care.
This dissatisfaction led me to establish Refresh Health which is a direct primary care practice. My vision was to revive the principles of old-school medicine—personalized, attentive, and compassionate care—while incorporating modern advancements. I wanted my patients to feel heard and not rushed, ensuring they receive the quality attention they deserve.
Why I Choose DPC
The Direct Primary Care (DPC) model allows me to achieve this vision. Unlike traditional practices, DPC eliminates the constraints imposed by insurance companies, enabling me to focus solely on my patients. By charging a straightforward monthly fee, I can provide comprehensive, accessible care without the hassles of copays or deductibles. This model gives me the autonomy to practice medicine in a way that prioritizes my patients' needs, fosters strong doctor-patient relationships, and truly puts my patients first.
