First Health Medical Center

What First Health Medical Center does

First Health Medical Center is an independent, privately held walk-in medical clinic headquartered at 7161 N Howard St #100, Fresno, California, serving the Fresno, Clovis, and broader Central Valley region. The clinic operates as a self-pay practice, meaning it does not contract with health insurance, and instead accepts cash, debit/credit cards (with a 3.5% processing fee on credit), auto insurance billing, Med Pay benefits, and attorney liens for personal injury cases. Hours are Monday–Friday, 8am–6pm, and most services are offered without an appointment, complemented by online booking through Solv Health and telemedicine virtual visits priced at $47 per consultation. The clinic positions itself as a multi-disciplinary practice pairing medical doctors (M.D.) and doctors of chiropractic (D.C.) under one roof to design coordinated treatment plans, supported by on-site X-ray imaging, non-surgical spinal decompression equipment, and rehabilitation modalities.

The service portfolio spans four functional pillars: (1) general urgent care for acute/episodic conditions (cold/flu, infections, lacerations, sprains, asthma, allergies, IV hydration); (2) personal injury care centered on auto accident and work-related injuries, including whiplash, spinal injuries, neck/back/shoulder/wrist pain, plus documentation and insurance/attorney coordination; (3) chiropractic care delivered through a three-stage Relief/Recovery/Wellness program using adjustments, hydro-massage, inter-segmental traction, diathermy, and muscle stimulation; and (4) certification services including FMCSA-certified DOT physicals for commercial drivers and $83 walk-in sports physicals for athletes and students. Marketing and patient acquisition are driven by organic search/SEO on a service-line website, Facebook and Instagram social presence, Solv Health's marketplace booking, and patient word-of-mouth referrals reinforced by attorney referrals in personal injury cases.

The management team disclosed includes an M.D. (Denard Fobbs), two D.C.s (Dr. Birchall, Dr. Damon Anthony), an Office Manager (Leticia Peters), an external Marketing Coordinator (Jeff), and an Administrative Assistant (Sharon). The clinic is operating, has 11–50 employees, has no disclosed parent company, subsidiaries, funding rounds, or M&A activity, and operates from a single physical location with no global footprint claim.
