DIRECT PRIMARY CARE
Medicine without the middleman.
Traditional primary care runs on insurance billing — which means a doctor has 10 minutes, 20 patients a day, and a clipboard between you and them. Direct Primary Care removes the insurance layer. You pay a flat monthly membership directly to your doctor. Dr. Cindy has time.

MEET DR. CINDY
She couldn't know anyone in 8 minutes.
After residency, Dr. Cindy took a position in a large practice group. She had good training, good intentions, and eight minutes per patient.
She could diagnose. She could prescribe. She could not know anyone.
