Our Team

Doctors who actually know you. And the team that makes it work.

Four board-certified physicians and a small, steady team of nurses and coordinators. We're the people you'll see every visit, the ones who answer your texts on a Saturday morning, and the reason direct primary care actually feels different.

The Simplicity Health Direct Primary Care team — four board-certified physicians with their nurses and patient coordinators
Doctors are quick to prescribe medication. Rarely do they try to stop it. Often those medications aren't needed, or only needed temporarily. Patients will work hard to fix their problems. They just need to know how. One of the most gratifying things to say to a patient is, "Congratulations. Because of your efforts, we don't need this medication anymore."
Dr. Charles Opperman · Founder, Internal Medicine
The Physicians

Four doctors. Each one yours.

Once you choose a physician, that's your physician. Every visit. Every message. Every refill. The relationship is the point.

Dr. Charles Opperman, board-certified internal medicine physician and founder of Simplicity Health Direct Primary Care

Charles Opperman, MD, FACP

Founder · Internal Medicine

Dr. Opperman founded Simplicity Health to practice medicine the way he always believed it should be practiced: with time, with attention, and with the freedom to actually help patients reach their goals. His clinical interests center on diabetes, cardiology, and obesity management, though he treats the full range of adult internal medicine and brings particular care to deprescribing unnecessary medications when patients are ready.

He earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Dayton and completed his internal medicine residency at Kettering Medical Center. He has served as clinical teaching faculty for the Kettering Medical Center Internal Medicine Residency program and has held teaching appointments at Wright State University and Ohio University Schools of Medicine. He holds the FACP designation, awarded by the American College of Physicians for excellence in clinical practice and leadership.

Outside the office, Dr. Opperman is a devoted family man, an avid golfer and Dayton Flyers basketball fan, and an active member of his church who frequently volunteers with community outreach.

"Best health care experience of my life. Dr. O bends over backward to give patients the personalized treatment and medical advice they need. He goes above and beyond to care for patients and give them options for treatment depending on what is important to them." Simplicity Health Patient

He is what most patients hope to see in their doctor. Pretty old-fashioned rock-solid virtues. I've been around hundreds of doctors for several decades, having been a hospital psychologist.

She focuses on prevention, chronic disease management, and the full spectrum of primary care, with a particular interest in women's health.

She is passionate about helping patients build healthy, sustainable habits, especially finding physical activities they genuinely enjoy and can maintain. One of her main goals is to help patients improve not just their lifespan, but their health span, so they can stay active, independent, and well as they age.

She has participated in a medical mission trip to Belize and hopes to continue similar work in the future.

"Dr. Marton was fantastic. I have white coat syndrome and get a lot of anxiety going to the doctor, and having to find a new doctor after moving was not fun for me. But she took her time, had great bedside manner, and was very thorough." Simplicity Health Patient
