You can continue to see a "regular" Family Medicine physician and pay not just that doc, but the massive administrative bureaucracy on top of them. Or you can switch to direct primary care and just pay your physician.

Make the switch. Save money. See a physician. Get better health care from a doc that knows you. Spots are limited; call 434-616-2455 to schedule a no cost, no obligation meet and greet appointment.
