A new way of experiencing health care

Why Direct Primary Care?

If you’re like most people, you pay high insurance premiums and still end up covering many medical expenses out of pocket. For less than the cost of a typical doctor’s visit, you can enjoy unlimited, direct access to a physician whenever you need it. Many patients save hundreds each year by choosing a lower-cost, high-deductible plan for major expenses and relying on me for primary care.

Please contact me today to see how we can help you experience health care in a totally different way.

How is this different from my current insurance?

Our Direct Primary Care model offers a refreshing alternative to insurance-based healthcare. For one flat monthly fee, members enjoy:

  • Direct, Unlimited Access: Reach me directly—whether by phone, text, email, or in person—whenever you need support, without barriers.
  • Flexible, Unhurried Visits: Schedule as many visits as needed, with each appointment lasting until we’re both satisfied with your care plan.
  • No Co-pays or Extra Fees: All office visits are included in your membership, ensuring a straightforward and affordable experience.
  • Prompt Responses: Most inquiries and appointments are addressed within 24 hours, so you’re never left waiting.
  • Transparent, Reduced Rates on Additional Services: Access lower costs for any necessary external treatments or testing.

With Paraclete Health Solutions, healthcare becomes personal, accessible, and built around your needs—not insurance limitations. Discover a new way to experience care.

Do I have to be a member to come see you?

Non-members are welcome for single consultations, and the consultation fee can be applied to your first month’s membership if you choose to join.

Are you really available at any time?

While I strive for full availability, I’m only human. You can generally expect calls to be returned within a couple of hours during the day, with urgent calls addressed at night. Emails and texts are typically answered by the next business day.

Do you do house calls?

Yes, house calls are available for an additional $35 to cover transit.

Do I still need insurance?

Yes, it’s recommended that you keep a high-deductible insurance plan or join a health sharing ministry for major medical expenses. Your membership covers primary care, basic procedures, and in-office tests, but we outsource lab work and imaging to local providers, often at reduced rates. You can also save by using a Health Savings Account (HSA) to manage additional healthcare expenses.

What happens if I have to be admitted to the hospital?

If hospitalized, you’ll be under the care of the facility’s doctor or hospitalist. I am available to consult with the treating physician, and we can request your records to ensure continuity of care upon discharge.

How long does a subscription last?

I offer monthly and yearly subscriptions, with flexible options to suit your needs.

What costs might I pay out of pocket?

Your membership covers most primary care needs, but out-of-pocket costs can apply for lab tests, imaging, specialist visits, and prescriptions. I work to secure low rates on labs and imaging, and many prescriptions have affordable options.

This seems too good to be true. What's the catch?

There’s no catch. By removing insurance companies from the equation, we return to a direct, trusted patient-physician relationship that prioritizes your health and minimizes costs.
