Why are medical visits expected to be no more than 15 minutes?
Why do providers address one or two issues at a time instead of evaluating you holistically?
Why is it so difficult to contact your healthcare provider directly? \
Why don't providers do home visits?
Unfortunately, the answer to these questions is that it takes 2000+ patients to "fill" a doctor or nurse practitioner's schedule. In order to keep most practices afloat providers need to think about what the insurance companies will reimburse and not just about what their patients need. I've worked in the US medical system for 5 years and I can no longer pretend that 15 minutes is an appropriate amount of time to spend with a patient.
The solution? Direct primary care! Direct primary care is a movement in the primary care industry towards boutique medicine. Instead of taking insurance I charge affordable rates of $75/month for unlimited visits, texts and calls. Each of my visits are allotted at least 60 minutes of time. My goal is to take care of 100 patients as well as I possibly can instead of struggling to rush through a 2000 patient panel. I am a family nurse practitioner with over 5 years of experience in primary care, chronic disease management, addiction management, migraines, women's health, weight management, gender affirming care, HRT, diabetes, and a wide variety of acute and chronic ailments. I offer same day, evening, and weekend appointments upon request. I offer office visits, telemedicine visits, and home visits. I can see all ages and I will come to your sick child instead of you having to take them out in the cold. I don't have staff and all of my patients have my direct contact information. Membership is month to month and can be canceled or paused at any time. Call, text, or email me anytime to learn more. I can't wait to help you achieve your goals.
