We’ve created a more effective and personalized path to wellness.
What’s different
about Pinnacle.
If you’ve ever been on an extended runaround trying to get the answers you need from the typical healthcare system, you know the feeling. You’ve waited months for appointments, weeks for test results that were hard to parse out, and got mere minutes of actual time with your doctor. Your care has been dictated by what insurance would cover. You’ve had concerns waved away and had unsolvable problems shrugged off.
From this moment, we can promise you that your care will be better. We founded Pinnacle to deliver ample face-time with your physician, open communication, thorough testing, in-depth answers, and continued follow-through. Our doctors care just as much as you do about getting you feeling better. We’re personally invested in chasing down answers, diving deep, and seeing you through.
It’s an unconventional approach—which means our process looks unconventional too. Read on to understand how it works.
The philosophy that fuels us.
We believe that health is not just the absence of disease, but a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being. This thinking informs our unique approach:
People first:
Proactive
over reactive:
Simplicity and transparency:
Our mission is to empower you to live a vibrant, fulfilling, long life through a holistic approach that prioritizes movement as medicine, strength and stability as imperatively foundational, and a smart, logical approach to supplements and medicines as a piece of your wellness—not its center. We’re proud to craft personalized education and wellness plans for each patient’s needs, empowering them for the long haul.
We believe that true wellbeing starts with preventive care. We address the root causes of health issues before they escalate and cost you years spent at suboptimal health. Doctors don’t tell you to stop smoking 10 years from now, so why wouldn’t we optimize all aspects of preventative care in your life now while we can bring about the compounded benefits of years at your best health?
We skip the wasteful insurance-driven healthcare system and deliver a better commitment to your health through a transparent, patient-centered direct pay model. You’ll know exactly what each service, test, or package will cost ahead of time, investing directly in your health with peace of mind and freedom of choice.
As medical professionals with years of experience in our respective fields, we’re constantly updating our skills to stay up to date with the latest advancements. We founded Pinnacle as a way to give patients better care than they could receive elsewhere—and when we improve patients’ wellbeing, energy, vitality, and quality of life, we take great pride in the outcomes.
Special focuses include men’s health and longevity
Dr. Hudon entered the medical field to make an impact. He believes patients can feel their best no matter what stage of life they’re in, which is why he co-founded Pinnacle— to create a model that makes it possible.
Before serving as a US Navy officer, Dr. Hudon attended Washington State University, then earned a Master’s Degree in Exercise Science at Central Washington University. He attended medical school at Pacific Northwest University, then pursued further training in Detroit, Michigan.
In addition to being a board-certified family medicine physician, Dr. Hudon is a member of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine, where he’s obtained further specialized training around wellness and longevity.
Dr. Hudon loves science, medicine, and problem-solving. Work is most meaningful to him when it results in patients feeling better than they knew they could. He takes the time to do things right, listen, follow-through, and fine-tune as patients navigate their journey to meeting their health goals. He’s known for being both compassionate and direct, a clear communicator and a straight shooter.
Dr. Hudon makes good use of his own healthspan by being active outside—hunting, snowboarding, scuba diving, and traveling with his family.
Special focuses include women’s health, ADHD, weight management
A dedicated physician, medical educator, and keynote speaker, Dr. Hudon co-founded Pinnacle to reimagine the traditional medical model and to forge a deeper connection with patients—and with the practice of medicine.
As a board-certified physician and expert in her field, Dr. Hudon has spent years in health management and diagnosis, speaking at medical conferences around the country as well as providing conscientious care to her patients across Washington and Idaho.
She attended college at Tulane University and Central Washington University, followed by medical school at Pacific Northwest University and training in Detroit, Michigan. She now serves as the Division Chief of Pediatrics and as associate professor at Pacific Northwest University.
Building Pinnacle has been a labor of love—“Medicine where everyone gets to be a person.” Here, she’s co-created a space where anyone can experience excellent healthcare from a compassionate, attentive physician who’s empowered to do their job unencumbered by the insurance system’s limitations.
Dr. Hudon recharges her batteries with good food, long runs, ski days, and world travels shared with her husband and three small children.
Special focuses include women’s hormonal health and sexual wellness
To Dr. Templin, women’s healthcare should be a source of empowerment. And yet, when it comes to areas like hormonal health and sexual wellness, women are typically given the runaround. It’s why she became part of the Pinnacle team—to deliver comprehensive hormonal health and sexual wellness care that not only leaves patients feeling better but living better, too.
She began her time in higher education studying Geology at Middlebury College on a cross country and nordic skiing scholarship before pursuing her calling in medicine at Pacific Northwest University.
She completed her Ob/Gyn residency at the University of Michigan Health West Hospital. During her residency, she contributed to the Pre-eclampsia Outcome Improvement Task Force and was elected as Co-Chief Ob/Gyn Resident during her final year. Currently, Dr. Templin serves as the Division Chief of Ob/Gyn, and assistant professor at PNWU.
Born and raised in the mountains of Whitefish, Montana, Dr. Templin places special value on strength and movement—she’s an avid runner, biker, hiker, skier, and traveler. She and her husband, an internal medicine physician, spend their non-work hours chasing their two lively daughters and two dogs.
