We love how easy it is for our patients to get in touch with us.

No frustrating phone trees. No triage lines. No talking to staff you don’t know. No wondering if it’s worth the bother to try and get a message to your doctor when you may not even hear back until a couple days later.

You just text Dr. Moore or Dr. Holliday, let them know what’s going on, and we answer you OURSELVES! Often we can handle issues by text or phone.

Other times you need to be examined in person - often we can fit you in same day even if the problem didn’t occur until later in the day.

We can’t promise our patients NEVER need an emergency room visit. But we can promise it is MUCH less likely because you can get hold of us so quickly and easily.

Just today a patient texted at 2pm, had a visit in the parking lot, left with our clinic crutches to borrow for a couple days at 3:45pm, and was at the X-ray facility for an image by 4pm.

As we are transitioning out of winter, many people are making plans to “get healthy.” If you are one of those people, don’t forget to ensure you are getting good sleep. If you are currently having trouble falling asleep at night, try the following tips:

One of our favorite, former medical assistants stopped by our office yesterday. 🥰

We worked with her several years ago in our previous practice, and she knew about our idea to open a direct primary care practice when it was just a seedling of an idea.

She no longer lives in Indy, and we felt honored that she would spend a small part of her trip visiting our current direct primary care practice.

Check out this cute plant she gave us.

The main way that direct primary care practices are able to provide extended visits, direct access to the doctor, and an increased availability in visits is the fact that we are micropractices.

Anyone who has researched the direct primary care model has likely heard the term “micropractice.” Indy Direct Docs also functions as a micropractice. If you are wondering what this means, read on.

One of our favorite patients raises chickens and turkeys for their eggs. This week we were both gifted with a mix of chicken and turkey eggs.

We think the large, speckled ones to the right are the turkey eggs.

Anyone out there ever try a turkey egg?

Does it taste like chicken?

The FDA is investigating 4 cases of infant sepsis due to either Salmonella or Cronobacter sakazakii. The source of the infections has been traced back to a plant in Sturgis, Michigan that produces the following powder formulas: Similac, Alimentum, and EleCare.

Indianapolis is such a close knit community that we sometimes forget what a large city that we live in!

We love being able to contribute to the health and wellness of our community.

Here’s looking at you Circle City!

We love our landlord!!

He came in early today to shovel our sidewalk and parking lot for our patients.

We are doing a mix of telehealth and in-person visits today for our patients. We are grateful for the flexibility that direct primary care offers to our patients on a snow day like today.

Stay safe!

When we were first planning on opening our own direct primary care practice, we almost stayed at corporate jobs that we hated because we were unsure how we would afford catastrophic health coverage. Isn’t that ironic? We were not taught much about how health insurance works during our medical trai...

We love practicing in the direct primary care model. Even when our patients need to visit the emergency room or are admitted to the hospital, having direct access to a personal doctor has been a great benefit to them.

As direct primary care physicians, we take pride in having a deeper level of involvement in our patients’ care needs. For that reason, we are asked from time to time if we see our patients when they are in the hospital like doctors in the past would do.
