What Is DPC?
A Direct Primary Care (DPC) office is a setting in which patients pay their provider directly for healthcare related services. A DPC office typically offers the same services as other primary care offices like a hospital office or a private office like Urgent Care. The Major difference between a DPC office and one of these offices is that with the DPC system, patients typically pay for services in the form of a monthly fee, usually at a price cheaper than an average monthly cellphone bill.
​
With the DPC system there is no third party billing, which means no insurance companies breathing down our necks about what services we can or cannot provide and no copays or worrying about deductibles for you!

FAQs
I have health Insurance, can I still become a patient in your office?
Yes! Ideally, patients should still have health insurance to protect against major accidents or surgery. Most people have high deductible plans however, and will never meet those deductibles. A years worth of membership at our DPC office will likely be more affordable for many patients than using insurance and paying copays.
I don't have health insurance. Can I still become a patient in your office?
Yes! Health insurance is not required for a membership at our DPC. We cover many types of visits, from yearly physicals to lab work and minor procedures.
What kind of services do you offer?
We offer most of the same services that you might find at another primary care clinic, such as yearly physicals, lab work, minor procedures, and acute visits. We are not a pain management clinic, and will not be taking on new pain management patients aside from my current patients.
How many visits am I allowed with my membership?
Your membership covers you completely! Your appointments will be as long as you need, and our services are unlimited to you.
Are you accepting new patients?
Yes, I currently plan on having 400 patients on my roster for my new practice. I hope that many of my current patients will follow me, but am absolutely open to new patients as well.
Are you a pain management clinic?
We are not a pain management clinic, and will not be taking any new pain management patients. My existing patients will still be able to get their medications filled however.
