]]>DPC is the single best alternative to regular “fee per care” medicine. It is a medical practice that does NOT deal with insurance companies, and focus on providing convenient, affordable and highest quality medical care directly to patients without any third parties being involved.
The contract is straight between the patient and the doctor. Transparency is key. The high quality, evidence-based medicine will be provided to you directly by a board-certified PHYSICIAN, at an affordable cost. The low monthly membership fee will include virtually unlimited access to your doctor for all your medically related needs.
Be mindful that DPC is not a health insurance! Our patients are strongly encouraged to acquire a “catastrophic” high deductible health insurance for hospitalizations and emergencies.
