Here is the latest blog from Montrose Lifestyle!

Treating ourselves to sunlight is one of the most overlooked factors in health and incredibly simple to do.

Spring in Montrose just hits different.

Longer days, better weather, more time outside… it’s honestly the easiest time of year to get your health back on track.

Most people don’t need a full overhaul. You just need to start moving again, clean up your nutrition a bit, and get some consistency back.

I wrote a quick piece on why this time of year matters and what I actually recommend to patients who are trying to reset.

If you’ve been putting it off, now’s a good time to start.

This is exactly what people are worried about right now.

Healthcare costs in Colorado keep going up, and it’s not slowing down. When premiums rise, most people don’t get better care, they just pay more for the same system. There are estimates that in 2026 alone, costs will rise $1,000-$2,000 per family.

What I’m seeing in clinic is pretty simple:
People delay care, avoid coming in, or try to “wait it out” because of cost.

That’s not how healthcare should work.

At Montrose Direct Primary Care, we do things differently:

No insurance for primary care
Simple monthly pricing
Easy and direct access to your provider
Visits that aren’t rushed

The goal is straightforward, make it easier for you to actually use your healthcare, not avoid it.

If the current system feels frustrating, you’re not wrong. There are better options.

Patients and health care providers in Colorado on Tuesday expressed anxiety around high health care costs as a result of the Trump administration’s policies.

Health insurance costs keep climbing, but most people only see their primary care doctor a few times a year.

I came across a calculator that compares a typical ACA insurance scenario with a Direct Primary Care model.

Using these numbers:

ACA monthly premium: $500
Primary care visit cost: $50
4 visits per year

Compared with:

Direct Primary Care membership: $125 per month
Wrap or healthshare coverage: $150 per month

The estimated monthly cost comes out to:

ACA plan: $517/month
DPC + wrap coverage: $275/month

That’s a difference of $242 per month, or about $2,900 per year.

If you want to run the numbers yourself, you can try the calculator here: www.dpcsavings.com

Direct Primary Care removes insurance from the doctor-patient relationship. No copays, longer visits, and direct access to your medical provider when you need it.

If you’re curious how this model works locally, feel free to reach out.

One month in at Montrose Direct Primary Care and I just want to say thank you.

We’ve completed our first month of operations and it has been an incredible start. We’ve already taken care of many of you and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. More time, better access, real conversations. This is exactly why I built MDPC.

If you’ve had a great experience so far, I would really appreciate you taking a couple minutes to leave us a Google review. As a small independent clinic, those reviews make a big difference and help others in our community feel confident choosing a different model of care.

Here’s the link to leave a review

Throughout March, we are asking all members to leave a review. At the end of the month, we will randomly draw one five star review to receive one free month of membership.

Thank you again for trusting me with your care. We are just getting started and I am excited about what we are building here in Montrose.

Most people don’t realize how much of modern healthcare is shaped by billing rules, prior authorizations, and administrative requirements that have nothing to do with the person sitting in front of you.

As clinicians, we’re trained to think critically and treat individuals, not check boxes. But too often, care gets filtered through layers of regulation and insurance processes that slow things down and drive costs up.

That frustration is a big part of why I built Montrose Direct Primary Care the way I did.

No insurance middleman.
No prior authorizations.
No rushed 7-minute visits.

Just a direct relationship between you and your clinician.

Healthcare doesn’t need to be complicated to be good. It needs to be personal, accessible, and transparent.

That’s what we’re building here in Montrose.

Our first week of seeing patients at Montrose Direct Primary Care is officially in the books, and I just want to say thank you to the Montrose community for the warm welcome.

It’s been encouraging to see how much interest there is in a simpler, more personal approach to primary care, one that prioritizes access, time, and real relationships over rushed visits and red tape.
