After a year of implementing our direct pay model, we've discovered a better way to practice medicine. The transformation has benefited both our practice and, most importantly, our patients in ways we never expected.
Immediate Access to Care
Our new model allows us to:
- Offer same-day or next-day appointments
- Eliminate waiting for insurance authorizations
- Provide immediate procedures when needed
- Respond quickly to urgent needs
Complete Price Transparency
We've eliminated the uncertainty of medical costs:
- All prices posted on our website
- No surprise bills in the mail
- Complete cost information before any procedure
- Clear, upfront conversations about expenses
A More Personal Approach
The direct pay model has transformed how we deliver care:
- Time to truly listen to patients
- Ability to slow down and focus
- Treating patients like family
- More comprehensive discussions about treatment options
- Freedom to explore all available solutions, not just what insurance covers
Patient-Centered Care
This transition has allowed me to become a better doctor by:
- Having honest, unhurried conversations
- Focusing on what's best for each patient
- Providing individualized attention
- Creating a more welcoming, family-like atmosphere
Patient Response
The feedback from our patients has been overwhelmingly positive, particularly from:
- Those needing immediate care
- Patients with high-deductible insurance
- Individuals without insurance
- Anyone seeking transparent, straightforward healthcare
We invite you to experience this different approach to healthcare - one that puts you, the patient, first. Come be part of our family here and see how healthcare should be.
