About Us, Our Vision and Mission

Family Matters DPC is a physician-owned family medicine practice operating under a direct primary care delivery model. Our model eliminates the costs and hassle of traditional medical care, improves the doctor-patient relationship, offers discounted labs and medications, and provides improved physician access.

We take the time to get to know each patient thoroughly, provide straightforward access to your physician through phone calls, office visits, e-visits, and/or texting, and we always maintain affordable fees and upfront pricing.

In a city dominated by huge, impersonal health systems, we are solo family docs striving to bring the “care” back to healthcare.

Healthcare today has become highly politicized. Along with that, the bureaucratic burden has made it such that doctors are seeing 30 patients a day, spending 2/3 of their time clicking boxes on their computers, and we've lost the essence of medicine: a strong doctor-patient relationship.

YOU, THE PATIENTS, DESERVE SO MUCH MORE THAN THAT.

We provide all of the typical primary care services you need in a comfortable setting. But while our services will cover your standard expectations, we're definitely not your typical doctor. That's because:

We believe in taking the time to get to know each patient thoroughly.
We offer personalized medical care in such a way that our patients never feel rushed.
We strive to prevent health issues before they even develop - not just treat the ailments bothering you today.
We provide straightforward access to your physician through phone calls, office visits, e-visits, and/or texting.
We offer deeply discounted generic medications and lab testing services.
Our fees are affordable and all of our pricing is upfront, so you will never receive confusing medical bills after your appointment.

All are welcome to join our Family! To learn more and/or arrange your first visit with our doctors, contact us by phone or online today!

OUR SERVICES

Our Vision

We envision a healthcare system that considers and knows every patient, which is accessible when care is needed, and that offers care at a price that everyone in need can afford.

Our Mission

Our mission is to bring the “care” back to healthcare, to prevent health problems before they even develop, and to focus on patients as individuals - not symptoms.
