The Affordable Care Act drove thousands of independent doctors to throw in the towel and join large hospital networks. However, a growing movement of doctors are fighting back against the bureaucratic system.

What is Direct Primary Care?
Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a healthcare model designed by Primary Care Physicians. It is not health insurance. It is membership-medicine. All of your Primary Care needs for one low monthly fee. Simple!
Why would I pay for this if I already pay so much money for my health insurance?
Because DPC membership saves you money! The principle of Direct Primary Care is "You don't need to use insurance for inexpensive things." Primary care without the middle-man is not expensive. Watch the video by DPC Doctors to learn more.
DPC gives you more access to your doctor with low wait times, more time with your doctor, access to discounts on lab work, imaging, medication, and primary care procedures. The patient-doctor relationship is paramount. Have a personal physician who knows you well with DPC!

Mission Statement
To extend the healing ministry of Jesus Christ through the practice of medicine. To respect and protect human life from the moment of conception to natural death. To give my best effort every day of my life. To serve joyously with compassion, understanding, respect, and gratitude. To maintain a Patient-Centered practice. To maintain an Evidence-Based practice. To persevere in my passion for learning the art, the science, and the business of Medicine. To act with courtesy and integrity in all things as to bring honor to the field of Medicine which I so dearly love.
Practice Philosophy
I strive to create a Patient-Centered Practice. This means to place the issues my patients value most as my top priorities. I focus on the following values:
Competence: As a physician I believe it is my ethical obligation to provide quality care. I therefore try to read something medical every day. I strive to practice Evidence-Based Medicine and inform my patients when evidence is lacking. I give my best effort to keep up to date in this rapidly changing field and aim to consistently exceed the amount of Continuing Medical Education that is expected of me.
Service. Ideally, I would like to see patients on time, every time, so that they know that I respect their time. What a terrific challenge in medicine! I strive to be accessible and available while still maintaining a healthy balance for my family. I make a strong effort to always have same day appointments available. I am a firm believer in continuity of care and prefer to follow up patients in a timely manner to ensure their needs have been met.
Cost. Healthcare is expensive. I am committed to being a part of the solution and not the problem. I consistently try to consider the financial impact of my work, including costs of office visits, various tests, treatments & therapies, consultants, and medications. I make it a habit to discuss the financial impact of healthcare with my patients.
Education. Nowadays information is easy to find. Unfortunately, we are too frequently misled or misinformed when it comes to medical information. I will be an advocate for my patients and provide balance between what is "newsworthy" and what is true, reliable, and accurate medical evidence.
