What is Direct Primary Care?
Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a healthcare model that prioritizes the doctor patient relationship, offering a more personalized approach to medical care. By eliminating the constraints of insurance and the impersonal nature of large corporate practices, DPC allows for more meaningful interactions and tailored treatment plans.
What does that mean for the patient?
You pay a monthly fee for direct access to your pediatrician and...
-
You'll never be stuck waiting on hold, or waiting for a call back for hours, when you're worried about your child. Rather, you can reach out and get timely (often in minutes) guidance straight from your pediatrician.
-
Instead of feeling like your child is another name on a chart, you won't get lost in the system here. In the smaller practice setting Dr. Irwin will know your child well, follow up personally and make decisions based on relationships--not just records.
-
Instead of scrambling to take your child to urgent care when they spike a fever (inevitably on a Friday afternoon), you'll know exactly who to call and know Dr. Irwin will make sure your child is seen when needed...even weekends.
-
Instead of copays, price confusion and endless forms to fill at each visit, you receive all the care you need for one monthly price.
