The team

An integrated team. One coordinated approach.

Concierge medicine works because the providers actually know each other — and you. Dr. Sadeghi and Dr. Kalra anchor the gastroenterology and primary-care continuity, joined by an integrated specialty team across cardiology, psychology, nutrition, and dietetics.

Dr. Angie Sadeghi, MD

Gastroenterologist · CEO & Founder

Dual board-certified in Internal Medicine and Gastroenterology. Twenty-plus years of clinical practice with focus on plant-forward gut health, IBD/IBS management, advanced endoscopy, and metabolic weight management.

Dr. Sadeghi is the founder of the Premier Concierge Medical. Across more than two decades of clinical practice she has built her work at the intersection of gastroenterology, lifestyle medicine, and plant-based nutrition — a posture that has made her a recognized voice in the wider plant-based medicine movement.

She is the host of "Inside & Out with Dr. Angie," a wellness program focused on the role of nutrition in chronic disease management, a bestselling author, and a contributor to Forks Over Knives. Her clinical work emphasizes the intersection of gut health, metabolic wellness, and the lived realities of patients trying to make changes that stick.

Dr. Amita Kalra, MD

Gastroenterologist

Dr. Kalra is triple board-certified — by the American Board of Internal Medicine in Internal Medicine and Gastroenterology, and by the American Board of Obesity Medicine. She brings a decade of post-residency practice, including a prior faculty role as Clinical Assistant Professor at Stanford, to the practice's gastroenterology service.

Her clinical approach is anchored in the mind-gut connection — the bidirectional relationship between gastrointestinal physiology, mood, and lifestyle.

How we collaborate

Specialists who collaborate, not silos that coexist.

An eight-line specialty practice can fragment into eight independent offices that happen to share a lobby. We do not run that. Our physicians share patient context with consent, coordinate referrals internally rather than externally, and meet weekly to review complex cases as a team.

For members, that's the practical experience: your gastroenterologist already knows what your primary care provider noted at your last visit. Your weight-loss program coordinates with your hormone optimization plan. Your mental health support has access to your overall care picture. The medicine is more responsive because the team is.

Members typically begin with a 15-minute intake call to ensure the practice is the right fit.
