Meet a different approach to primary care in Midlothian. A consistent provider, more time for meaningful conversations, and ongoing care that considers your health beyond today’s appointment.
For adults and children ages 2 and up. Part of Venture Wellness in Midlothian.
You can have insurance, see your provider when something comes up, and still feel like no one is connecting the dots. Appointments happen in isolation. Preventive priorities get pushed aside. Following up becomes another task on your list.
Venture Direct Primary Care was built around a more consistent relationship.
Continuity with one dedicated provider who understands your health over time.
What that looks likeYour blood pressure has crept up a few points each year. Because the same provider has seen every reading, the trend gets noticed and talked through, instead of each number being judged on its own.
Visits with room for your concerns, the context around them, prevention, and next steps.
What that looks likeYou come in for a sinus infection and mention you haven’t been sleeping well. There’s time to talk about it, or a clear plan to come back to it, instead of “make another appointment.”
Direct communication during business hours, virtual visits when they’re appropriate, preventive planning, and coordination when you need care elsewhere.
What that looks likeA quick text on a workday asking whether a rash needs a visit. A video visit from your office when it’s clinically appropriate and you’re in Virginia. A referral whose results come back to someone who knows you.
Appointments for three different people. The camp form due Friday. A refill that needs a visit before it can be renewed. A portal login for each office. A symptom you’re not sure deserves an appointment. None of it is medical, and all of it lands on one parent.
Enroll by December 31, 2026 and there’s no enrollment fee.
Your PCP writes down what they found, what the two of you want to work on first, and what happens next. It fits on a page, it’s in your patient portal, and it changes as your health does.
Your history, today’s numbers, and anything we’re watching.
Two or three things, decided together.
Each step has a name and a date next to it. Some are yours, some are your PCP’s, some are the front desk’s.
Results we’re waiting on, any referrals, your next visit, and a check-in about every six months.
Testing is based on your health and history, not a checklist.
No evaluation visit is needed to join. Here is the path from enrolling to ongoing care.
We don’t schedule visits or tests you don’t need. How often you come in depends on your health, not on a quota.
Review and sign your membership agreement online. Then our team contacts you to schedule your first visit.
Complete your intake forms in our secure patient portal. Bring recent labs, records, and your medications or photos of the labels. With your written permission, we can request records from your previous office.
In our Midlothian office: your history, your medications, what’s working, and what isn’t. If you need bloodwork, it’s ordered at the visit and drawn here.
Your written plan, in your patient portal: which screenings are due, what deserves attention first, who does what next, and what can wait. If results are still pending, we finish it once they’re back. See a sample.
Visits when something comes up, messages during business hours, and follow-through on your plan. A body composition analysis is included every 90 days, and we revisit your Roadmap at your 6-month check-in and your yearly visit.
Danielle is a board-certified family nurse practitioner with more than 15 years of nursing experience across primary care, preventive health, chronic disease management, urgent care, and medical weight management.
Her approach is practical and collaborative. She explains what she’s seeing, talks through your options, and builds a plan with you that fits your health and your life.
Here for hormone, weight, or longevity care? Those are separate Venture programs, and the conversation and early treatment can start with your PCP if appropriate. Ongoing specialty care begins with a focused evaluation. Book a Performance & Longevity Evaluation.
If any of these sound like you, you’ll feel the difference from the first visit.
Have questions first? A free Meet & Greet is made for exactly this.
One membership for your ongoing primary care relationship, with plain information about what’s included and what costs extra.
We tell you the cost before anything extra is done.
$99 a month for adults, billed every 3 months
Or $109 a month billed monthly, plus a one-time $75 enrollment fee per household. Children, adults 65 and over, households, and current Venture specialty patients have their own rates.
Membership begins with a three-month minimum.
Because they do different jobs. Insurance protects you from large, unpredictable costs: emergencies, hospital stays, surgery, specialists, and imaging. It isn’t designed to give you a consistent relationship, time to talk, or someone following up between visits. That is what the membership pays for.
So keep your insurance. Direct Primary Care doesn’t replace it, and we don’t bill your insurance for the care your membership covers.
Will it save you money? For many people, yes, in the long run. The households most likely to come out ahead:
For them, included visits, no copays, and at-cost wholesale lab pricing add up quickly. Check it with your own numbers.
Already have good insurance? Good insurance doesn’t always mean good access or good care. Even with a strong plan, you can wait weeks for an appointment, get a short visit with someone new, and chase the follow-up yourself. Membership gives you a provider you can call or text, visits with time to talk, and follow-through without the runaround. For busy professionals, the time it saves is often the biggest return.
Most people who join already have a primary care provider. Here’s how the move works.
Book a free 20-minute Meet & Greet by video, or 25 minutes in the office. Ask anything. There’s no commitment, and you don’t need to tell your current office anything.
Nothing changes with your current office until you decide. You can keep your current provider until after your first visit here. If your insurance plan requires a named primary care provider for specialist referrals, check with your plan before you change anything with them.
Bring what you have, or sign an authorization and we’ll request your records from your previous office.
Your PCP reviews every medication at your first visit. Keep taking yours as prescribed until then, and have enough on hand for a few weeks. Whether a prescription is continued or changed depends on their clinical evaluation, and she’ll explain any change.
Your history is already here. Direct Primary Care is its own membership that works alongside your specialty plan, for everyday care outside the focus of that plan. How current patients add it.
You know how it works and you’re ready. Review and sign your membership agreement online, and we’ll contact you to schedule your first visit with your PCP. No evaluation visit is needed.
A free Meet & Greet: 20 minutes by video, or 25 in our office. Ask your questions and see whether it feels right. No commitment.

I’ve had a wonderful experience with Dr. Julia Montgomery. From the beginning, she took the time to listen to my concerns and develop a personalized plan focused on helping me feel like myself again. I appreciate how comfortable and supported they make me feel during every appointment. They are responsive to my feedback, genuinely care about how I’m feeling, and are willing to adjust my treatment plan based on my symptoms and progress. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, they work collaboratively with me to find what works best for my body. I’m grateful for their knowledge, compassion, and commitment to helping me improve my overall well-being. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a provider who truly listens and partners with you on your health journey.Posted on Google![]()

I am so thankful that I waa able to recently become a patient at Venture Wellness! Dr. Julia and her assistant Maria are so patient, helpful, informative and easy to talk to. I am 50 years old and have not been feeling like myself for quite some time. I knew hormone changes were taking place but I wasn't sure where to turn. Dr. Julia has helped me get back to feeling like myself again, and in some ways, even better. My brain fog is virtually gone, focus is back, energy has returned and I just overall feel so much better! Maria has been a super help as well making sure my labs are done when they are needed and she has helped me several times when I have required additional assistance with questions and support. I am also working with Venture on a small weight loss journey to get back to where I hope to be and with their help I am seeing steady results. In addition to all of the improvement I have seen with my health I also should acknowledge the depth of information about my health that I have learned from Dr. Julia that had never been reviewed with me in the past with my primary. I cannot recommend this practice enough if you are feeling off and want some help so you can feel like yourself again!Posted on Google![]()

Working on hormone issues with Julia. She is kind, compassionate and very thorough. I tell my friends about her services, as hormone replacement therapy is still widely misunderstood and/or treated. Highly recommend her and her team!Posted on Google![]()

I have been so impressed with the entire team at Venture Wellness. I feel heard, I feel seen and after only a few months I am feeling like my best self again. I am so grateful to Julia for the time and energy she spends with me to truly ensure my personal goals are achieved. Maria is also a pure delight to interact with during labs. The energy is great in general and I feel amazing again at 52! Thank you to the entire VW family.Posted on Google![]()

Insurance and Direct Primary Care do different jobs. Insurance covers emergencies, hospital care, specialists, and imaging; the membership pays for an ongoing relationship with a provider who knows you. Keep your insurance. For many households, especially with a high deductible or children, membership saves money over time, and for everyone it saves time. Check with your own numbers.
It’s the short written plan you get after your first visit with your PCP: where your health stands, up to three priorities chosen with you, every next step with who does it and when, and what comes next. It arrives in your patient portal, and we revisit it at your 6-month check-in and your yearly visit. See a sample.
No. Nothing changes with your current office until you decide, and you can keep your current provider until after your first visit here. If your insurance plan requires a named primary care provider for referrals, check with your plan first.
Bring your records, or sign an authorization and we’ll request them. Your PCP reviews every medication at your first visit. Keep taking yours as prescribed until then. Whether each prescription continues or changes depends on her clinical evaluation.
Then membership is about being ready, not about counting visits. When you do get sick, you text your care team instead of hunting for an open appointment with whoever is available. In between, your PCP keeps your screenings on track, checks your body composition every 90 days, and sees you for a yearly comprehensive visit, so nothing important slips. It’s built for healthy, busy people who want exactly that: convenience, great care, and peace of mind.
Each person enrolls and has their own visits and chart. Children ages 2 to 17 join with an adult member of the same household. Households get a lower rate for each additional adult and a monthly household maximum. See family rates.
Yes. We coordinate with them, review their recommendations, and send referrals when you need a new one. Outside specialists bill through your insurance.
Medications; the laboratory’s charge for running tests, which you can put through your insurance or pay at our at-cost wholesale price on many tests; imaging, outside specialists, urgent care, emergency, and hospital care; certain in-office injections and rapid tests; and Venture specialty programs. We tell you the cost before anything extra is done.
Membership begins with a three-month minimum. After that you can cancel for any reason with at least 30 days’ notice before your next billing date. Your membership ends at the close of the period you’ve paid for, you keep full access until then, and the current period isn’t refunded. The full terms are in the membership agreement you review before you sign.
Venture’s specialty programs focus on hormones, weight loss, and performance and longevity. Direct Primary Care is everyday care: a sinus infection, a yearly checkup, blood pressure, diabetes, or thyroid, stable mild to moderate anxiety, depression, or ADHD, and kids’ visits. We’ve always asked our patients to keep a primary care provider for care outside their specialty plan; now you can get that care under one roof. Each is its own membership, and you can have either or both.
Virginia residents who are not enrolled in Medicare Part A or B. Adults, and children ages 2 and up who join with an adult member of the same household. If Medicare is coming up for you, ask us about timing.
Messages are answered Monday to Friday, 9 to 5. A message that arrives during those hours gets a reply the same business day; after hours, the next business day. We may ask you to book a visit when a concern can’t be handled safely by message. We can’t promise a visit on the day you ask.
Whether membership fees are an eligible expense depends on your plan and your tax situation. Check with your plan administrator or a tax adviser before relying on it. We can’t give tax advice.
Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. For a mental-health crisis, call or text 988. Messaging isn’t monitored for emergencies. After urgent or emergency care, let us know so we can follow up.
We care for patients from Midlothian, Richmond, Chesterfield County, Bon Air, Powhatan, and Chester, and across the greater Richmond area. Visits are in person at our Midlothian office, and by telehealth when it’s clinically appropriate.
