“It has been my dream to provide affordable personalized patient care outside the factory medicine model and I have been delivering the Direct Primary Care model since 2015. Direct Primary Care (DPC) is considered a solution to rising healthcare costs because it simplifies and streamlines the primary care process, eliminating many of the inefficiencies and expenses associated with the traditional insurance-driven healthcare model. DPC reduces costs by cutting out the middlemen, emphasizing preventive care, and providing clear, predictable pricing. While it doesn’t replace the need for insurance in catastrophic situations, it offers a practical solution for controlling everyday healthcare expenses.”
