The Spring Center

What The Spring Center does

The Spring Center is a privately-held, membership-based functional and integrative medicine practice founded in 2008 by Dr. Kelly McCann, MD, MPH & TM, and headquartered in Costa Mesa, California. The practice operates a Direct Care model, delivering root-cause personalized care for patients with chronic and complex conditions (including mast cell activation syndrome, Lyme disease, mold/mycotoxin illness, autoimmune conditions, and environmental illness) as well as for health-optimization and primary-care-replacement seekers. Dr. McCann is one of only 35 physicians worldwide to have completed the Residential Fellowship in Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona, and the practice is differentiated by credentialed clinical talent and access to advanced diagnostics and therapeutics.

The core technology stack is built around integrative functional medicine protocols, augmented by proprietary diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities: MicroGenDx DNA sequencing (detecting over 50,000 microbial species), Low-Dose Allergen (LDA) immunotherapy, InBody body composition scanning, and a suite of IV nutrient therapies (including Radiance IV, Myer's Cocktail, Phosphatidylcholine, Glutathione, and Chelation). Operations are supported by IntakeQ for patient intake, Updox for the patient portal, Doxy.me for telehealth, and Quest Diagnostics / LabCorp for laboratory services, with a branded e-commerce supplement storefront at shop.kellykmccannmd.com extending revenue beyond the clinic walls.

The revenue model combines four recurring monthly membership tiers (Wellness BASIC $39, PLUS $149, PLATINUM $325, and PREMIER $495 per month, the latter by physician recommendation only) with a one-time Initial Consultation Bundle priced at $1,595, plus usage-based fees for office visits, IV therapy, LDA administration, and ancillary diagnostics. The go-to-market motion is direct-to-consumer: new patients complete an IntakeQ application reviewed by the clinical team for fit, then progress through discovery, onboarding, and tiered membership. Patient acquisition is largely driven by word-of-mouth referrals, content marketing (blog articles authored by Dr. McCann), patient success stories, webinars, and Dr. McCann's personal brand. The practice is single-location (Costa Mesa) with 1-10 employees, limited new-patient intake based on clinical fit, and no disclosed external funding or parent organization.

Emerging players

• Restore Hyper Wellness: Restore Hyper Wellness is a national franchise offering IV therapy, cryotherapy, infrared saunas, and related wellness services on a membership basis. It competes more narrowly with The Spring Center's IV therapy and ancillary service line rather than full physician-led care.
• Fountain Life: Fountain Life is a premium preventive and longevity medicine company offering advanced diagnostics, whole-body imaging, and concierge physician care on a membership basis. It targets a similar affluent, proactive-wellness demographic and represents an emerging competitor in the integrative/longevity category.

Direct peers

• Parsley Health: Parsley Health is a venture-backed membership-based functional medicine practice combining in-person and telehealth visits with a recurring revenue model. It directly competes with The Spring Center's direct-care, root-cause medicine positioning and serves a similar patient demographic seeking integrative care outside the conventional insurance system.
• Concierge MD: Concierge MD operates a network of boutique, membership-based primary care and wellness practices offering IV therapy, hormone optimization, and integrative services. Its service mix (IV drips, supplements, concierge physician access) closely mirrors The Spring Center's ancillary offerings.
• The UltraWellness Center: Founded by Dr. Mark Hyman, The UltraWellness Center is a boutique functional medicine practice focused on root-cause, lifestyle, and nutritional interventions for chronic disease. It is a flagship brand in the functional medicine category and serves as a directly comparable peer in terms of clinical model and target patient profile.
• Forward Health: Forward is a tech-enabled membership primary care practice offering preventive, data-driven care outside the traditional insurance model. While more tech-forward than The Spring Center, it competes for the same patient seeking a premium, membership-based alternative to conventional primary care.
• Amen Clinics: Amen Clinics operates a national network of specialty concierge clinics focused on brain health using SPECT imaging and integrative protocols. It shares The Spring Center's direct-pay, specialty-clinic, advanced-diagnostics business model and high-touch physician relationship.

Broad incumbents

• One Medical: One Medical (now owned by Amazon) is a scaled membership-based primary care platform with national footprint and hybrid in-person/telehealth delivery. It overlaps with The Spring Center's direct primary care positioning but offers a broader, more conventional primary care menu rather than integrative/functional specialization.
• Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine: The Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine is a major academic medical center program offering integrative and functional medicine within an established health system. It offers institutional validation and competing services that overlap with The Spring Center's core offerings in functional medicine.

Others

• InsideTracker: InsideTracker provides personalized health analytics and biomarker tracking for individuals pursuing longevity and optimization. While it does not deliver clinical care, it overlaps with The Spring Center's preventive wellness and body-composition (InBody) value proposition for the same proactive patient segment.
