About the practice

Dr. Michael Temkin created the practice to return to what matters most in healthcare — real relationships, thoughtful medicine, and a proactive, research-driven approach to long-term health.

The concierge, membership-based model gives patients direct access to Dr. Temkin, longer appointments, same-day availability, and care plans built around the individual rather than around insurance limitations. Instead of rushed visits and reactive treatment, patients receive preventive, relationship-based care focused on long-term wellness and performance. The practice combines preventive medicine, optimized primary care, metabolic and hormonal health, and high-touch patient access under one roof.

Services

1. Concierge primary care

Concierge primary care at Temkin Health is a membership-based model that gives patients direct access to Dr. Temkin, appointments long enough to explore root causes rather than just symptoms, and personalized, data-driven care plans. Key features include:

• Direct physician access and same-day or next-day appointments
• Longer, unrushed visits with no “waiting room experience”
• Advanced screening and diagnostics that go beyond standard insurance panels
• Full-spectrum care: routine needs, urgent concerns, chronic conditions, and performance optimization
• Continuity of care, including coordination with specialists and review of hospital or urgent-care visits

2. LeanMD medical weight loss

LeanMD is Dr. Temkin’s physician-supervised medical weight loss program. Its defining feature is a muscle-first approach: rapid weight loss (a common issue with GLP-1-only programs) can strip away muscle along with fat, and LeanMD is designed to prevent that through protein-forward nutrition, strength-focused guidance, 1:1 coaching, and muscle-mass monitoring. Highlights:

• Real food, not shakes or pre-packaged meals — a low-carbohydrate, high-protein plan patients shop for and prepare themselves, designed as a lifestyle change they can keep.
• Medical tools when appropriate — GLP-1 and GLP-1/GIP agonists and lipotropic (lipo) B12 injections to curb appetite, support metabolism, and preserve muscle.
• Body composition analysis — advanced testing to understand each patient’s metabolic profile.
• Three-phase structure — Phase 1: Weight Loss (2–12 months); Phase 2: Transition (3–5 weeks); Phase 3: Sustainable Weight Loss (12-month maintenance membership).
• Reported results — on average, patients lose 10–15 pounds in the first month and about 30 pounds in three months; up to 5 pounds per week is possible depending on the individual.
• Flexible options — in-office, fully virtual, or hybrid, with weekly or monthly payment.

LeanMD is offered nationally through a provider network; Dr. Temkin delivers the program directly in San Ramon. More information: https://drtemkin.com/leanmd/ and https://leanmd.com (LeanMD program line: (888) 264-2003).

3. Hormone replacement therapy

Dr. Temkin is a Certified BioTE Provider offering bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) for both men and women. Bioidentical hormones are structurally identical to the hormones the body naturally produces, which allows for precise dosing, fewer unwanted side effects, and a more natural feel. Hormone optimization at Temkin Health addresses symptoms such as:

• Low energy and fatigue
• Sleep disturbances
• Brain fog and memory issues
• Hot flashes and night sweats
• Mood changes and irritability
• Decreased libido

For women, this includes personalized therapy for hormonal imbalance and menopause. For men, it includes testosterone optimization for age-related declines in energy, muscle mass, libido, and focus. Reported benefits include restored energy, improved mental clarity, better mood stability, improved sleep, better body composition, and increased libido.

4. Longevity medicine

Temkin Health’s longevity program is physician-led care focused on extending healthspan — the number of healthy, high-functioning years — not just lifespan. Using preventive, proactive strategies rather than symptom-driven care, the program aims to reduce the risk of age-related disease, protect cognitive function, optimize energy, recovery, and metabolic performance, and preserve muscle, strength, and mobility over time.
