A primary care office providing direct-to-consumer health care has opened in Grand Junction.
Judith Shue, a board-certified family and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, will lead the Doctor Nurse Practice, located at 2232 N. Seventh St., Unit 7. The Doctor Nurse Practice is a member of the national FreedomDoc community.
Shue said she started the practice to provide patient-centered health care that’s convenient and cost-effective while also delivering exceptional customer service. In addition to physical health, she emphasizes mental health and well-being and provides treatment for addiction, anxiety and trauma.
“I want my patients to know they have a voice. Let me know your vision of optimal health, and we’ll work together to ensure you are on your way to a healthful life,” she said.
The Doctor Nurse Practice offers a membership-based practice. Shue is enrolling new patients, but will only accept a limited number. More information is available at
The Doctor Nurse Practice provides care for patients for a flat monthly fee of $89 or less. Shue offers personal, unrushed, focused care to each patient. Visits are on time and last as long as necessary, usually 30 to 90 minutes.
Services are available in person or remotely by text, phone, email and secure digital apps.
Shue brings to the practice nearly four decades of experience in health care. She obtained her doctor of nursing practice degree from Colorado Mesa University in 2015.
Christopher Habig, chief executive officer of Freedom Healthworks, said the practice constitutes an important addition to the community.
“Dr. Shue brings decades of health care experience to her practice, including experience in emergency medicine, critical care and mental health,” Habig said. “Her passion for partnering with patients to maximize their quality of life ensures they receive exceptional, holistic health care.”
