Say Goodbye to Long Wait Times and Hassles

Have you ever had the experience of trying to make an appointment somewhere only to be told that the next available is one week, two weeks, six weeks, twelve weeks away? Once the day finally comes, you arrive at the clinic early only to be kept waiting in a crowded waiting room of coughing, sniffly people for 15, 20, 30 minutes after your appointment time. Then you are brought into an exam room and another 10-15 minutes go by as you wait for the doctor to arrive only to be rushed through the 15 minute time slot of your appointment.

We understand the frustration. These are just some of the issues that led us to start researching direct primary care. With Thrive DPC, you gain direct access to personalized and timely care, ensuring you receive the attention you deserve exactly when you need it. You won’t be waiting weeks for an appointment. Our patients can typically get same or next day appointments. Once they arrive at the office, there isn't a crowded waiting room. In fact, there usually isn't even a wait at all.

We've been working hard to get our new space ready for you, but there is still quite a bit left to do. We will continue seeing patients at our current location for the next few weeks and will update you when the new office is nearing completion.

Don't miss your chance during open enrollment season to make sure you have the very best insurance plan for you and your family. It's time to strategize how to get the best care for the fewest dollars. Pairing the right insurance with Direct Primary Care (DPC) can save you money. We typically recommend a low premium/ high deductible plan for most of our patients lowering their healthcare costs and allowing their DPC membership to cover their primary care while keeping their insurance plan tucked in their back pocket for emergencies. Insurance is never a one-size-fits-all situation though, so make sure to look over plans carefully before making your choice.

The holiday season is upon us! Amidst all the festive hustle and bustle, it's easy to forget about taking care of ourselves. Take a moment to pause, relax, and let yourself recharge. Whether it's a quiet walk, a good book, a board game with family/friends, or simply some time to breathe, self-care is essential for your well-being.

Remember, the greatest gift you can give yourself is time & the greatest wealth is your health.

The best ways to prevent infections are:
-Wash hands regularly especially after handling animals or before handling food.
- Keep cuts clean.
-Stay on top of chronic conditions.
-Prepare food safely.

Using antibiotics responsibly and getting recommended vaccines keep yourself and others healthy. Vaccines help prevent infections, reduce the need for antibiotics, and fight drug resistance.

Here are some important things to remember:
- When prescribed an antibiotic, take the full course. Do not save some for later. Do not take old antibiotics lurking in the back of your cabinet.
-Dispose of old antibiotics according to the directions on the packaging or through a drug take-back program. Do not flush old antibiotics.
-Do not take antibiotics prescribed for someone else.

Misuse of antibiotics happens when a person takes the wrong antibiotic, the wrong dose of an antibiotic or an antibiotic for the wrong length of time. Remember sometimes your body needs an antibiotic and sometimes it doesn’t. Talk to your doctor about the best treatment for your illness and steps you can take to feel better when you don't need an antibiotic.

While antibiotics are highly effective at treating bacterial infections, they aren’t always needed. With some bacterial infections (like many sinus infections and some ear infections) patients’ bodies are able to fight off the bacteria on their own; however, some do require medication. It is best to discuss your illness with your doctor and let them help you determine the best course of action. It is important to keep in mind that antibiotics are designed to destroy bacteria, not viruses. Attempts to use antibiotics to treat a viral infection (like colds/flu) will be ineffective.
