Why I am offering Direct Primary Care

My patients have come to know me as a caring physician who takes time with them during their visits, so they don’t feel rushed. Some of my patients have told me that they switched to me from their former doctor, because they did not like being herded like cattle, or because they felt like a number rather than an individual. Unfortunately, the current healthcare system does not allow me to continue practicing that way any longer. I had to see ever increasing numbers of patients in order to survive as a business, which meant less time to spend with each patient. There are also ever increasing bureaucratic burdens forced on physicians by government-run and private insurance companies, again taking away time that could be spent with patients. ​ I didn't want to let third parties dictate how I practice medicine, how I treat my patients and how much time I can spend with them. This is why, after much thought, I have decided to opt out of contracts with all insurance companies and switch to a practice form called Direct Primary Care (DPC). In this model, there is no middle man. The relationship is directly between the patient and me, your physician. No more co-pays, deductibles, pre-certifications or bills in the mail. The patient pays an affordable monthly fee in return for unlimited, unhurried office visits and predictable costs.
