Meet Your Team

The Endocrine Company was founded on a simple belief:

Healthcare works best when the relationship between
patient and physician is restored. Our practice began with the idea of
stripping healthcare down to its studs, removing the layers of complexity,
frustration, and insurance-driven decision-making that so often get in the way
of genuine care.

For Dr. Pauley, the vision was deeply personal. She wanted
to spend more time with her patients, answer their questions thoroughly, and
ensure that every person who walked into her office felt seen, heard, and cared
for. Traditional insurance-based systems made that nearly impossible, often
limiting the time she could spend and the experience she could provide.

  • What this means for patients:

    • more time with your physician
    • clear explanations and meaningful conversations
    • care that prioritizes your concerns
    • an experience where you feel seen, heard, and cared for
    • freedom from rushed, insurance-driven appointments


    By choosing not to allow insurance to dictate physician
    reimbursement, we built our foundation on the Direct Care Model, one that
    prioritizes time, attention, and clinical judgment. When those barriers are
    removed, both the patient and provider experience improve dramatically.

  • The Direct Care Model allows us to:

    • focus on clinical judgment instead of billing codes
    • remove administrative barriers and delays
    • improve both patient and provider experience
    • practice medicine the way it was intended
    • put the relationship—not the system—at the center


    The Endocrine Company exists because we believe in medicine
    the way it was meant to be practiced: personal, transparent, and focused
    entirely on the patient.
