A Different Kind of Primary Care

    SIMPLIFIED BILLING:

    In the monthly membership, your visits, communication and in-house procedures are all included. Any additional costs are always discussed beforehand.

What is Direct Primary Care (DPC)?

It’s as simple as it sounds:

— A direct connection between you and your doctor. DPC is a membership based approach to primary care.

How it works:

Instead of billing insurance for routine care, you pay a straightforward monthly fee directly to your doctor.

Which means:

Fewer barriers, more time together, and a direct relationship with the person caring for you.
