Tera Practice, a virtual-first approach to primary care, is an innovative digital health model that was established by the Sutter Health network to enhance human connection and deliver a positive experience. The Tera care team includes a primary care physician (PCP), an advance practice clinician, a nurse, and a registered dietitian, who provide virtual care through My Health Online (MHO), phone calls, and offer in-person appointments* as needed. The Tera teams are available Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Tera recently expanded to a new Bay Area location in Oakland, welcoming Dr. Jonathan S. Lee, with an office located at 350 30th Street.
“This is so convenient! I’m so busy and it’s hard to take care of my medical issues. How have I been missing out on this practice? This is the best – I love it.” – a San Francisco Tera patient in her 40’s
