Why Naturopathy

Why Direct Primary Care?

Alright, get ready for some good news about healthcare! The Direct Primary Care model is like hitting the refresh button on how family medicine should be. It's all about ditching the insurance middleman and creating a direct connection between doctors and patients. Think personalized care that actually has time for you, transparent and often lower costs because you're paying directly for the care you need, and a real focus on keeping you healthy and feeling your best!

I have absolutely loved to practice in this kind of environment! I am committed to providing excellent family healthcare and building genuine relationships with my patients, really getting to know them and their families, and having the freedom to provide the kind of thoughtful, unhurried care that truly makes a difference. No more rushed appointments or feeling like just another number – it's about bringing back that old-school, attentive family doctor feel. I am dreaming of being able to continue to be part of this movement and offer this fantastic model of care to our community. Stay tuned for what I am hoping may lie ahead in the summer of 2025.
