About Dr. Sarfaraz Dhanji and Magnus Direct Primary Care

Dr. Sarfaraz Dhanji is a board-certified family physician and the founder of Magnus Direct Primary Care in Jacksonville, Florida. With decades of experience in patient care, medical education, clinical leadership, and health technology, Dr. Dhanji created Magnus Direct Primary Care to offer patients a more personal, accessible, and relationship-centered approach to medicine.

Throughout his career, Dr. Dhanji has remained committed to the belief that excellent healthcare begins with time, trust, and open communication. In a traditional medical setting, patients often feel rushed, struggle to reach their physician, or wait weeks for an appointment. Magnus Direct Primary Care was designed to provide a different experience—one in which patients have greater access to their doctor and enough time to discuss their health concerns thoroughly.

Magnus Direct Primary Care is an adult-focused membership practice serving patients throughout the Jacksonville area. Members benefit from convenient scheduling, same-day or next-day appointments when available, longer visits, and direct communication with the practice. Routine primary care, preventive health services, chronic disease management, medication management, and many common in-office services are included within a straightforward monthly membership model.

By operating outside the traditional insurance-based primary care system, the practice can focus more fully on the patient rather than the volume of visits or administrative requirements associated with insurance billing. Patients may still maintain health insurance for specialists, hospital care, emergencies, imaging, and other services, while using their Magnus membership for ongoing primary care.

Dr. Dhanji has particular interests in preventive medicine, metabolic health, hormone optimization, weight management, healthy aging, and helping patients better understand their laboratory results and treatment options. He believes patients should be active participants in their healthcare decisions and takes the time to explain the reasoning behind recommendations in clear, practical terms.

In addition to primary care, Magnus offers select wellness and health optimization services for patients seeking a more proactive approach to their long-term health. These services are individualized and may include medically supervised weight management, hormone therapy, nutritional guidance, peptide-based therapies, and other evidence-informed options when clinically appropriate.

Before founding Magnus Direct Primary Care, Dr. Dhanji held academic and leadership roles in family medicine, medical informatics, and physician education. His background in clinical medicine and healthcare technology has shaped the practice’s efficient, modern approach while preserving the personal connection that many patients feel has been lost in today’s healthcare system.

Outside the office, Dr. Dhanji enjoys spending time outdoors, working on cars, following Formula 1 and sports car racing, and participating in sim racing. His practical, hands-on personality carries into his medical practice: identify the problem, explain it clearly, and work together on a realistic solution.

At Magnus Direct Primary Care, patients are more than an appointment on a schedule. The goal is to build lasting relationships and provide thoughtful, responsive care that helps each patient feel heard, supported, and confident in their health decisions.
