I'm Tim Pickett, founder of KindlyMD. Throughout my career, I've worked in emergency medicine, trauma, and gastrointestinal surgery. There, I saw firsthand the toll that overprescribed prescription medications take on a patient's life, let alone the lives of their loved ones. Something had to change; the healthcare industry had to change.
In 2020, I started seeing and educating Med Card patients with the sole intention to provide honest, evidence-based, and practical information about plant-based medicine to the people of Utah. Along my journey to spread the good word, I’ve spent time producing educational content, and presenting in universities, medical board discussions, and continuing education programs.
It was clear to me that this lifesaving alternative treatment needed to be a part of the larger healthcare conversation in our country. Enter: KindlyMD. By empowering patients to take control of their own health through open communication about their treatment with their care team, we’ve found that nearly 88% of KindlyMD patients use less prescriptions, illicit drugs, and/or alcohol. Our patients also report feeling better in their day to day lives. We just can't ignore results like that!
KindlyMD is more than a clinic. It's a movement of patients, advocates, and providers taking back control of healthcare and is truly the first of its kind. We are developing the largest network of medical providers dedicated to helping people reduce harsh, addictive prescription medications. We believe a treatment plan should be a collaborative conversation between provider and patient and are creating a new kind of healthcare: one that’s built with YOU in mind, not the pharmaceutical companies.
KindlyMD is your kind of healthcare.
Kindly,
Tim Pickett, MPAS-C

We are huge proponents of comprehensive care here at KindlyMD. We also believe in Complete Care, but that is a different topic for another post. Yet one of the keys to making complete and comprehensive care work for both providers and patients is asking and answering questions. We love lots of questions in the clinical […]
We practice what is known as 'Complete Care' here at KindlyMD. Complete Care is known by several key characteristics. One of those characteristics is something known as stepped care.
