Direct Primary Care Family Medicine Doctors
Family medicine is the most common specialty in the DPC model. A DPC family physician can care for patients of all ages—from newborns to seniors—under a single transparent monthly membership.
Traditional family medicine practices see 20-30 patients per day, leaving little time for thorough care. DPC family medicine doctors limit their panel to 400-600 patients (vs. 2,000+ in conventional practice), meaning you get same-day appointments, 45-60 minute visits, and a doctor who actually knows your history. Routine physicals, sick visits, chronic condition management, vaccinations, and minor procedures are all included. Many DPC family practices also offer in-house labs at wholesale cost.
