Direct Patient Care

Unparalleled Healthcare.

What is Direct Patient Care?

Direct Primary Care (DPC) is an innovative approach to healthcare that puts the emphasis back on the patient-provider relationship. A focus on wellness, longer patient visits, and increased access have the ability to improve better health outcomes and lower costs. An affordable monthly membership fee allows DPC providers to work for their patients and not for the insurance companies. The best outcomes are achieved when your healthcare journey is a partnership between you and your provider.
