It's 5 pm. As a direct primary care (dpc) doc, I have...
1. Annual physical (1 hour)
[Yes, you heard that correct. All our patients get 1 hour of dedicated time for their annual physical with their dpc doctor in our practice.]
2. Same day appt for back pain (30 min)
[Let’s help him avoid the urgent care and ER].
3. Same day appt for blood pressure review and eval (30 min)
[My patient doesn't like how high it is today.]
Evening hours are my most popular hours. None of these patients had to pay a copay, skip work, or significantly impact their day.
