PerSONALIZED CARE crafted Just for you...
OFFICE HOURS STARTING
FALL 2025

Why is today your day to start looking into direct primary care? I'm not sure what brought you here, but I am thrilled that you are exploring the idea of joining a direct primary care practice that will only house between 200 and 400 patients. A typical primary care physician in America takes care of 2500. There are only so many hours in a day. You do the math! You want to be the focus of your physician's hour, not just  her13 minutes.

Direct primary care practices do not contract with insurers or government payers or third-party administrators. For some workers, insurance is both offered and paid for, but for many it comes at an inordinately high price.  Even when cost is no object, many patients don't appreciate their insurance company picking and choosing both who they can see, how they can see them, when they can see them and what sorts of things can be ordered. If you've ever been on the phone for 43 minutes trying to understand your benefits or in my case, trying to explain why my patient needed a test to a kindly and polite, albeit  insurance company employed,screener  , of an insurance company, then you can feel my pain and I can feel yours. Let's get the middle man out of it. Take some control today.

In addition to the personal rewards , your colleagues, neighbors, friends and family will likewise reap the benefits. Society should thank you as a  patient at a direct primary care practice  because you will experience 40% less emergency room visits, lower inpatient admission rates, and a statistically significant reduction in overall demand for healthcare services. This helps free up my emergency medicine colleagues to take care of emergencies such as motor vehicle crashes. Meanwhile, you and I can be focusing on preventing any unforeseen future illnesses, nipping them in the bud, and increasing your lifespan, your fun span, and your sex span.
