WHY WE DO IT
We do it for our patients! Going to the doctor shouldn’t be complicated, frustrating and exorbitantly expensive. By cutting out third-parties, we keep costs affordable and transparent, while eliminating the other frustrations of health care such as spending more time in the waiting room than with your doctor, receiving surprise medical bills months after your visit, and not being able to reach your doctor when you have a question.
The Direct Primary Care Model allows us to practice medicine in accordance with our values, and to fulfill our mission:
To make a difference in the lives of individuals and businesses by providing them health care in an extraordinary, valuable way through the development of strong personal relationships.
