Why Choose Direct Primary Care?

This article from kevinmd.com does a good job of summarizing what Direct Primary Care (DPC) is as well as the advantages of this clinic model for physicians and patients alike.  

If you have been wondering about DPC or want to understand it better, then give the article a quick read (approximately 5 minutes or less).  It also details how DPC can help with or even be the solution to the primary care shortage in America. 

Quotes from the article: 

“Yet we already have a recipe to fix primary care – and the broken U.S. health care system. The key ingredient is found in the direct primary care (DPC) model in which primary care providers (PCPs) and patients walk away from the fee-for-transaction third-party insurance payment system in favor of a monthly membership fee.”

“The reason it works is that it gives practices predictable, upfront cash flow without the hassle of insurance-driven red tape and reporting requirements, while patients get unlimited access, more time with their doctor, and more convenient care.”

“PCPs in a DPC tend to commit to continuous, longitudinal relationships with far fewer patients than in traditional payment models, ensuring same-day or next-day access for their patients and a much lower administrative burden for the PCP.”

“DPC PCPs are perhaps the happiest physicians in all of medicine. They have better work-life balance, lower stress, a restored sense of purpose, and almost zero burnout. DPC physicians have reclaimed their joy in practice.”

Why choose Direct Primary Care? We hope that has been answered for you somewhat. If you have any questions about the article, DPC in general, or our practice, then please feel free to contact us or schedule an appointment.  

MIC Weight Loss Injections (Lipo-Slim) are available at Compassion Family Medicine (CFM) as a part of our Weight Loss Therapy program! MIC, which is made of methionine, inositol, and choline, may be helpful in reducing hunger, boosting energy, and helping the body be more efficient at processing unwanted fats. They also may possibly reduce cholesterol and balance hormones to an extent. 

MIC Weight Loss Injections come as the “Lipo-Slim” version from a specialty pharmacy and typically comes with a two to three month amount of medication and all the appropriate supplies. This particular version comes with MIC + Vitamin B12 (and other B vitamins) + Vitamin C + Carnitine. In addition to MIC Injections with B12, we also offer B12 injections as a separate, stand-alone service by itself.

Are your seasonal allergies bothering you this spring?  If so, then we can provide treatment that can help!

Seasonal allergies, commonly just called “allergies,” can flare up any time of year but are commonly a problem in the fall (ragweed) and spring (pollen).  Often, we call it Allergic rhinitis or something similar and patients can sometimes experience Allergic conjunctivitis.  Symptoms can range from annoying to debilitating and if left untreated can lead to sinus infections or other complications.  Symptoms typically include itchy, watery eyes, runny nose, and even cough, rash, or other symptoms.  

Typical seasonal allergies treatment is over the counter medications, such as oral antihistamines and nasal steroids, however if these are not adequate for you, then we can evaluate you and discuss options such as oral steroids or even a “steroid shot.” Sometimes people call the steroid injections as “cortisone shots.” 

If you need an evaluation and want to consider treatment for your seasonal allergies, then give us a call today at 918-528-5614 or email us at compassionfamilymedicine@gmail.com.  You can also “Sign Up” on our website and see more at our Schedule page. We do offer other general Medical Services and Specialty type services as well.  We look forward ot hearing from you!

Here at Compassion Family Medicine (CFM) we offer Telemedicine Appointments. We still like to see patients in office when we can of course, but in this season or in general it is a great option for patients to be seen online. These Telemedicine appointments are also referred to as video visits, online doctor visits, Telehealth, and a number of other names or references. Whatever you want to call them we make it easy and efficient for you to sign up for a visit and to be seen by our physician online.

Telemedicine Appointments are free for Compassion Family Medicine (CFM) patients that are signed up on the membership option. We also offer these video visits for non-membership, pay as you go patients that maybe just want to do a one time, primary care or urgent care type visit and do that online. You can see our prices via the price tab in the main menu above.

If you have any questions, then please feel free to contact us.  Also, we welcome you to schedule an appointment or sign up to become a new patient and member! We also wish you and your family a Happy New Year! Stay tuned for more CFM News and Updates about our clinic and other medical services.
