🎀 Breast Cancer Awareness: What’s Your Risk?

Breast cancer affects 1 in 8 women during their lifetime, and early detection can save lives.

🩺 Know your risk factors:
• Family history of breast or ovarian cancer
• Early menstruation or late menopause
• Lifestyle factors: smoking, obesity, alcohol use
• Dense breast tissue or prior abnormal biopsies
• Age 40+ without regular screening

Your risks are unique, and so is your care at DirectMed. Our doctors take the time to understand you and guide you through the best screening options, including when to start mammograms and how often.

🎗️ This October, don’t just wear pink, take action.

Book your FREE Meet & Greet with one of our compassionate doctors today.
Let’s talk about your health, your risk, and your options together!

When you choose a DO, you’re choosing more than just a doctor.
DOs are fully licensed physicians, just like MDs, but they also receive additional training in:
✔️ Whole-person care (mind, body, lifestyle)
✔️ Preventive health
✔️ Hands-on techniques (osteopathic manipulative treatment) that can help with pain, mobility, and recovery.

That means a DO is trained to look beyond symptoms, asking: What’s the root cause? How does this fit into your whole life and health story? In traditional healthcare, that philosophy often gets lost in the shuffle of short visits and insurance red tape.

With DPC, your DO has the time and access to care for you the way they were trained to, without rushing, without coding games, and without surprise bills.

👉 Curious about how a DPC DO could support your health journey? Book a FREE virtual meet & greet with Dr. Metz today.

Here’s what relationship-based care looks like:
✅ We start by listening
📱 We stay connected when you need us

Your health needs change as an adult, and internal medicine doctors are trained to handle it all.
From high blood pressure to diabetes, preventive screenings to complex care coordination, internists specialize in keeping adults healthy through every stage of life.

Dr. Lessing is board-certified in Internal Medicine and a Diplomate of the American Board of Obesity Medicine, uniquely qualified to address both routine adult care and the complex root causes of weight-related conditions.

But here’s the problem: in the traditional system, you often wait weeks for an appointment… only to spend 7 rushed minutes with your doctor.

✨ Direct Primary Care changes everything.
With DPC, your internist isn’t buried in paperwork or insurance codes. Instead, you get:

✔️ Same-day or next-day appointments
✔️ Longer, unhurried visits
✔️ Direct text/call access to your physician
✔️ One flat monthly fee — no surprise bills

Whether it’s your annual checkup, weight management, or a chronic condition, your DPC internist is truly your partner in health.

❤️ Expert adult care, made accessible. That’s Direct Primary Care.

Does your child snore at night?
Snoring in kids is never normal. It can signal airway issues like enlarged tonsils or adenoids that disrupt healthy sleep. Poor sleep can leave kids tired, restless, or even showing ADHD-like behaviors.

👩‍⚕️ Dr. Janell Sosa, DirectMed DPC - New Braunfels, shares why it’s worth paying attention.

Want to learn more about how Direct Primary Care can support your family? Book a FREE virtual meet & greet with Dr. Sosa. It’s not a medical appointment, just a relaxed way to get to know her and discover how DirectMed works for your family, all from the comfort of home.

Why don’t we bill insurance?
Because we believe your care should be personal, not dictated by red tape.

At DirectMed, we cut out the middleman so we can spend more time with you, not paperwork. That means no surprise bills, no rushed visits, and no insurance hoops to jump through. Just transparent, affordable care when you need it.

Real care. Real access. Real simple.

Direct Primary Care Membership offers direct access to your Doctor and saves money on most services by cutting out the “middle-man” health insurance.

That’s the beauty of family medicine: one trusted doctor who can care for your whole household.
But here’s the catch, in traditional healthcare, you rarely get the time, access, or relationship you deserve.

✨ That’s where Direct Primary Care (DPC) comes in. With DPC, your family physician is truly accessible, same-day visits, longer appointments, text/call access, all without rushing or surprise bills.

From your child’s first checkup to your parents’ preventive care, one doctor knows your story, your family history, and your goals. That continuity makes all the difference.

❤️ Whole-family care, without the healthcare headaches. That’s Direct Primary Care.
