Dr.Umair Malik, MD

Dr. Umair Malik is a physician at Blue Spruce Health, a direct primary care practice in Vermont. He started the practice out of a desire to spend more time with patients, moving away from the rushed pace of traditional medicine and toward visits built on trust and relationship.

At Blue Spruce Health, patients have access to Malik 24/7, along with discounts on labs and generic medications. Visits aren't rushed, so there's time to talk and, just as importantly, to listen.

Beyond the practice, Malik serves as president of the South Burlington free health clinic, where he leads more than 50 volunteers providing care for uninsured Vermonters, a commitment to health equity that shapes how he approaches medicine overall.
