    Welcome to ReforMedicine!

    ReforMedicine (pronounced Reform Medicine) is a direct pay family medicine clinic headquartered in Eau Claire, Wisconsin with a second location in Menomonie, Wisconsin. Dr. David Usher founded the practice in 2011 and since that time has served patients with high quality care at very affordable prices – typically at least 50% less expensive than insurance-based practices.

    Whether you’re seeking a new family clinician where you won’t feel rushed, a great value solution for your out of pocket health care costs, or a medical professional to help you achieve better health through weight loss, ReforMedicine is the place for you and your family.

    The clinic welcomes patients of all ages whether you have medical insurance or not and keeps costs low by collecting payment for services the day of services. Our practice does not bill insurance companies and some people even refer to the practice as the “cash pay” clinic, or cash discount doctor. ReforMedicine also provides contracted direct primary care services for employers and employee groups through near site and on-site clinic agreements.

    Our Family Practice Physicians and clinicians see patients of all ages for nearly any non-emergency care. Well child checks, physicals, routine tests and procedures, acute illness or injury, and more are provided every day at ReforMedicine.

    Testimonials

    I learned about ReforMedicine through a local business owners networking group and have been happy to refer employees and relatives to ReforMedicine time and time again.  The clinic fits you in quickly, the costs are very affordable, and a visit is always a pleasant experience.  ReforMedicine is so good that I even took my mom to see them and now she doesn't want to go anywhere else!  We both feel that the care you receive at ReforMedicine is top notch.
    Jane P., Menomonie, WI
    I realized I had to do something about my weight when I had blood drawn as part of an insurance exam. My levels were all bad from sky high cholesterol to pre-diabetic numbers. I felt that my only option was to have gastric bypass surgery. Before weight loss surgery, a person is required to see a Bariatrician (weight loss doctor) for six months. It was at that point that I met Dr. Usher and he helped me create a plan for a new way of life including eating and exercise. The weight started to come off faster than I ever thought it would and I was able to avoid dangerous and costly surgery. I have lost more than 100 pounds so far and I’m happier and healthier than I’ve been in years. I love my new way of life and highly recommend Dr. Usher to anyone wishing to lose weight.
    With five children and an active family, you might imagine that the need for a good doctor is very important for us.  ReforMedicine has been a really good fit for our family.  We've saved significantly with the flat fee office appointments for minor injuries and illnesses and also for recurring "grown up" tests.  One routine annual blood test of mine that cost more than $400 at an area clinic was under $40 at ReforMedicine.  Not only have we saved money, but we've really enjoyed seeing the staff at ReforMedicine.  There is always plenty of time for questions, the whole family feels very comfortable there, and everyone is friendly.
    Laurie W., Boyceville, WI
    I originally visited the doctor for a shoulder injury and noticed that ReforMedicine offered a medical weight loss program. I had been successful in the past losing weight on my own, but the pounds had crept up a little bit over recent years. I liked the ReforMedicine approach with my shoulder and decided to give the weight loss program a try. Dr. Usher spent so much time looking at my health, teaching me, and encouraging me along the process. I reached my weight loss goal of 40 pounds in ten months. Not only do I feel better, but I've been able to stop taking medications for problems that had been exacerbated by the extra weight. I've maintained my weight for more than a year and I can honestly say this is the first time I feel that I was able to make a real life change thanks to Dr. Usher's help and guidance. It has worked very well for me.
