What is Direct Primary Care?
Direct Primary Care is direct access to your doctor. No phone trees to get through or appointments to wait for; you contact and interact with your doctor when and how you need.
Patients pay a monthly or annual fee which will cover all the services provided in the office. Care includes physicals and health maintenance as well as acute care for illness and injury.

Access
You’ll be contacting the doctor directly by email, text or phone to answer questions, coordinate care or arrange appointments. For in-person appointments, in many cases the doctor can see you that day or the next.
Quality
It takes time to listen and listening is key to diagnosis as well as making sure we are working toward YOUR healthcare goals. Appointments can be up to 1 hour long and there is no limit to how often you can be seen.
Affordability
There are no co-pays or hidden costs. Wholesale pricing through local lab and imaging centers allows those without insurance the best deals.
