It  is a healthcare model where patients pay a monthly membership fee directly to their primary care physician in exchange for comprehensive primary care services. This model eliminates the need for traditional insurance and allows for more personalized and accessible care.

In traditional healthcare, patients often rely on insurance for every medical service, leading to high costs and limited time with their physicians. In DPC, patients pay a monthly fee directly to their doctor, allowing for more affordable and accessible care without the involvement of insurance companies.

The cost of DPC membership can be found on our pricing tab. This fee covers unlimited visits and services provided by the primary care physician. Some procedures such as aesthetic procedures, platelet rich plasma will have an extra cost.
