Direct primary care is a model of healthcare that is simple and straightforward. It is designed to cultivate and establish real relationships between doctors and patients through targeted and personalized care. In many ways it resembles healthcare that looks similar to the type of healthcare your grandparents enjoyed. Patients visit with their physician for healthcare needs and the doctor charges the patient directly a fixed monthly fee.
This direct approach stands out for a host of reasons including:
- Longer patient visits and stronger doctor-patient relationships
- Reduced costs because no third-party vendors or insurance companies are involved
- More accurate medical treatment for patients because doctors are able to spend more time investigating symptoms
We invite you to learn more about direct primary care to determine if it’s right for you. Schedule an initial visit with us today! We look forwarding to meeting you soon.
