About novakind

novakind Health is redefining family medicine in Long Beach by setting a new standard of high-quality, accessible, uncomplicated, and compassionate care. Co-founded by Dr. Anastasia Buerger, we’ve reimagined the patient experience, offering seamless online scheduling, digital pre-check-in, and thoughtfully optimized workflows that minimize wait times and keep your visit effortless and efficient.

In addition to caring for patients with insurance through our Insurance-Based Primary Care, we also provide an elevated option through novakind Health's advanced Direct Primary Care (DPC) model. This experience gives members direct access to their provider and care team, delivering the comfort and continuity of a personal provider, all within a surprisingly affordable monthly membership.

novakind Health was founded by physicians passionate about delivering exceptional care and a health care leader focused on eliminating the inefficiencies that delay care. Together, we’ve built a practice that combines medical expertise with seamless processes, setting a new standard for how care should be delivered.​

Our mission is clear: expand access to high-quality care through processes that are seamless, uncomplicated, and designed around you.

Putting Patients First: Our 4P Culture

At novakind Health we’ve built a care model that revolves around people — not paperwork. Every process, workflow, and decision is designed with one priority in mind: the patient experience.

We believe that when patients feel heard, understood, and cared for, outcomes improve naturally. Our approach integrates:

Patient-Centered Design: We build every process, from scheduling to follow-up, around the patient journey, ensuring care feels seamless, personal, and accessible.

Provider Empowerment: We create efficient, clinically intelligent workflows that reduce friction, prevent burnout, and allow providers to thrive both professionally and personally. When providers are supported by intuitive systems and streamlined operations, they can focus on what matters most — delivering compassionate, high-quality care.

Process Optimization: Every step in our operations is continuously evaluated and refined to remove waste, automate where appropriate, and maximize value.

Performance Alignment: Patient satisfaction, outcomes, and operational efficiency are tracked together to ensure excellence is consistent and measurable.
