Welcome to Our Practice
“Delivering a Personalized Experience to Care for Over 25 Years”
Althera Alternative Care is a membership-based, direct primary care practice that features a unique blend of complimentary medical therapies, centered upon services typically unavailable at a standard primary care medical practice. We place an emphasis on integrative medicine and enhancing the body’s own ability to heal itself through targeted personalized treatments specific to each individual patient’s needs.
Our clinical offerings include a thoughtful array of curated nutraceuticals (vitamins and herbal remedies), IV and peptides therapies, and evidence-based medical procedures such as joint injections, pelleted hormone replacement therapies and a variety of cosmetic procedures, all intended to optimize wellness and longevity – both inside and out.
If you’re frustrated by the same old, assembly-line style of medicine, and disappointed by brief appointments with medical providers who rush you out the door, we’d like to introduce you to something different.

I had an amazing experience at Althera Alternative Care with Dr. Todd! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed by the friendly staff. Dr. Todd is incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to listen to my concerns. He provided me with personalized treatment options that have made a significant difference in my health. The holistic approach at Althera Alternative Care is refreshing, focusing on addressing the root cause of health issues rather than just treating symptoms. The clinic is clean, well-maintained, and creates a calming atmosphere. I highly recommend Althera Alternative Care and Dr. Todd to anyone seeking alternative care options. They truly prioritize their patients' well-being and provide exceptional care. Thank you, Dr. Todd, and the entire team at Althera Alternative Care!

Like I said before, Todd and his staff are amazing! They went above and beyond this time. Todd personally brought my paperwork to Santa Fe for me to sign, since I couldn't get to Albuquerque during business hours. He also brought with him a CBD relief stick that they had recommended for my back, it works amazing by the way! Nessa is a sweet heart, and I can't wait to meet her in person!
Todd and his staff are amazing! Warm, friendly, welcoming environment! I highly recommend this clinic!

The Sleep Gummies are great, I get to sleep fast and rest peacefully until the need to pee ?
The other gummies gives me pain free support throughout the day. For instance I primmed 5 trees, tied up the cuttings, and hauled them to the street for pickup. I work, uninterrupted, for more than five hours without pain.
Thanks for your care!

This was my first experience with medical marijuana professionals and all I can say is “Wow!”
Everyone at Althera Alternative Care has been amazing! The building feels safe and extremely professional. After years of avoiding doctor’s offices, I felt a weight was lifted off my shoulders. It was incredible to be treated with respect and to be listened to. I wasn’t just dollar signs but a patient with needs. I’m very grateful for this opportunity and am excited about the future.
Thank you so much Althera, you have given me hope for a brighter tomorrow. ??

Services
Direct Primary Care
Direct primary care is a financial arrangement made directly between a patient and healthcare provider. It cuts the insurance providers out of the process, erasing the need for patients and providers alike to file health insurance claims.
Patients who use direct primary care don’t pay monthly health insurance premiums or copays. Instead, they pay their healthcare provider a monthly fee.
