Healthcare as it should be: personal, proactive and unhurried.
Tired of being treated like a 10-minute time slot? At Advanced Primary Care, we’ve bypassed the traditional insurance middlemen to offer a direct, transparent membership that prioritizes your well-being, not how many patients we can squeeze into a day. Enjoy same- or next-day visits in person or over video, seamless communication, and a doctor who actually has the time to listen. We’re not just treating symptoms; we’re partnering with you to build a healthier, longer life.
Spencer Blackman MD
Dr. Blackman is a board-certified family physician who believes that the best medicine happens when a doctor actually has the time to listen. After two decades in primary care—including a decade leading medical education at One Medical—he founded his Burlington practice to return to the heart of family medicine: the patient-doctor relationship.
A graduate of the University of Miami, Dr. Blackman completed his residency and fellowship at UCSF before moving to Vermont in 2015. Today, he continues to shape the future of medicine as a faculty member at the University of Vermont, where he teaches medical students. For Dr. Blackman, "comprehensive care" isn't just a clinical term—it's a commitment to being a lifelong partner in your health.
Healthcare that respects your time - and your humanity.
In a world of 15-minute appointments and "one-size-fits-all" medicine, we’ve chosen a different path. At Advanced Primary Care, we combine the precision of modern medical technology with the time-tested wisdom of a dedicated physician-patient relationship. We don't just treat symptoms; we partner with you to build a foundation for long-term vitality.
Our 360° Annual Wellness Integration
Our annual exams are not just a "check-up"—they are a deep dive into your unique biology. We go beyond the standard blood panel to assess the systems that drive your daily performance and long-term health:
Mental Health & Wellbeing: Stress management and emotional resilience as a core pillar of health.
Heart Health & EKG: Advanced screening to understand your cardiovascular "score" and future risk.
Metabolic Integrity: A deep look at your liver and kidney function to optimize how your body processes energy.
Physical Durability: Specialized assessments for skin health and musculoskeletal integrity.
The Restorative Cycle: Detailed sleep assessments and biofeedback to ensure your body is recovering as hard as it's working.
Sensory Wellness: Integrated vision and hearing screenings to keep you fully engaged with your world.
