As a direct primary care practice, we intentionally limit the number of patients we serve. While traditional primary care physicians often manage over 2,000 patients, our DPC clinic cares for far fewer—allowing us to deliver truly personalized healthcare. This is how direct primary care transforms care delivery.
With a direct primary care membership, you gain consistent access to your primary care physician, better patient care, and a healthcare experience designed around your needs—not insurance restrictions.
Our direct primary care membership provides complete primary care services for children, adults, and seniors. Our family medicine and internal medicine approach includes:
-Chronic disease management (diabetes, hypertension, etc.)
-Mental health support
-Preventive care and annual physicals
-Sports medicine and medical weight loss
-Acute and urgent care needs
Unlike the traditional healthcare model, our direct primary care model allows your direct primary care physician to focus entirely on your total health care needs without interference from a health insurance company.
With your DPC membership, you receive same-day or next-day visits with no additional membership fee per visit. This level of direct access to your primary care provider is one of the biggest advantages of direct primary care over traditional insurance-based systems.
Your DPC doctor is available when you need care—without the delays often seen in traditional healthcare or crowded urgent care clinics.
Appointments in our direct primary care practice typically last 30–60 minutes, giving your physician the time needed to fully understand your concerns. Unlike rushed visits in traditional healthcare, our providers focus on meaningful, relationship-based care. This extended access leads to better outcomes, especially for chronic disease management, and allows our family physicians to deliver truly personalized medical care.
Your direct primary care membership fee includes many in-office services such as: Suturing Cryotherapy Skin biopsies If additional services are needed, pricing is always transparent. Compared to traditional health insurance, our DPC membership fees offer significant savings and predictable healthcare costs.
When you need specialist care or specialist visits, your DPC physician coordinates everything. Your healthcare provider acts as your advocate, ensuring seamless communication across your care team. This level of coordination is often missing in the traditional healthcare model, but is central to how direct primary care works.
We partner with national labs to provide low-cost testing. Many routine labs cost a fraction of what you’d pay through insurance or traditional healthcare systems. This makes preventive care more accessible and helps reduce overall healthcare costs—a key advantage of the direct primary care model.
Our direct primary care practice negotiates significantly reduced rates for imaging services. These savings highlight how direct primary care reduces reliance on traditional insurance and lowers out-of-pocket expenses.
Through our partnerships, DPC patients receive medications at near-wholesale pricing. Without inflated insurance costs, your prescriptions are more affordable and transparent.
