Meet Dr. Marylin Palackel James, D.O. – Leading Haven Family Health
My goal is to bring the heart and compassion back to primary care in Jacksonville. I grew up in India as a child and drew inspiration from my grandfather, who had a small family practice in our home.
Everything he did is what I aspire to do: make healthcare accessible to all, practice pure medicine from my heart, and treat my patients holistically. This is the essence of Haven Family Health. I am here for you if you will welcome me into your family.

Why Patients Choose The Direct Primary Care Model?
Haven Family Health originated from the idea of providing unparalleled patient-centered care. We wish to bring the care back to healthcare. Our focus is on the patient and spending more time with you. Doctor’s appointments can be intimidating, but that shouldn’t be the case.
Our Direct Primary Care (DPC) membership is designed to give you unlimited, concierge-level medical care without the complexity, delays, or restrictions of insurance.
Instead of billing insurance for every visit, test, or question, our practice operates on a simple monthly membership model. This allows us to focus entirely on you, not insurance rules.
