Convenient, friendly, and holistic primary care at your fingertips, no insurance needed!

Welcome

Hello!

I am a family medicine doctor, and founder of Better Health DPC.

I love providing care to all ages and families. I work hard to do as much as possible for my patients as their primary care provider and I love that Direct Primary Care (DPC) provides the time and flexibility needed to do so. I believe in building trusting relationships, communicating directly, and providing efficient care. My primary care services are broad and always expanding. I have spent extra time training in dermatology, women’s health, addiction medicine, and integrative health including acupuncture and yoga. I believe I can take care of 90% or more of patient healthcare needs and strive to prevent unnecessary visits to urgent care or the emergency room due to lack of access to care. Whether its newborn, adolescent, adulthood, or end of life care, I can attend to a variety of needs. DPC allows for such things as a house call for a newborn check up, a telehealth visit for a busy college student, or a same day office appointment for acute illness. I am just a phone call away when you are my patient!

- Dr. Dianna Stade Gagnon, MD

  • "Dr. Gagnon is simply one of the nicest best doctors I’ve ever met. She’s kind, thorough considerate, smart - she really listens to your needs and also things you might want her to investigate -Like a blood test or integrative medicine - She’s very kind just can’t say enough good about her."

    -K.G. March 2024

  • "Dr. Gagnon is respectful of individual needs and communicates clearly and openly. She makes data-informed recommendations that draw from multiple disciplines. And her office is welcoming and comfortable. We recommend Doctor Gagnon as a personal wellness partner. "

    -A couple from Brunswick, ME

  • "I was fed up with the standard medical care I had for years, symptom, see doctor, medication or lose weight. I found an amazing Doctor and Human who has treated me with dignity and compassion! I have spent more time being treated over the past few months I’ve had Dr. Gagnon than I have the last three years with my MEHealth physician. I haven’t felt well for over a year and in the past 3 months she has been taking the time to check off the symptoms as I have tests completed, she is the advocate I need as I age and my health was worsening! If every Doctor showed half of her empathy and determination to treat patients underlying issues we could be in a better situation! I trust her 100 percent!!!!"
