Primary Care
We Want You To Feel Better!
We went into medicine to help people feel better. That is our heartbeat. It’s what drives and motivates us. It’s why we spent decades in school and countless weekends and holidays learning how to help people feel better.
What we have found is simple. To help people feel better they must be heard, feel accepted, and experience compassionate care. That is our Heart and Soul.
Being a member of Vancouver Direct Primary Care means having a provider passionate about helping you feel better. We delight in being there for our patients. What’s exciting is that we are designed to deliver! We work hard to make sure you get high quality care, are listened to, and experience compassionate care.
We hope you will be a part of the very special Primary Care Clinic we are building!
What to expect after enrolling:
1. We want to help you out however we can! For your first appointment, we will do a thorough medical evaluation. We set aside between 60-90 minutes. We evaluate your past medical history, surgical history, medications, family history, allergies, current medical issues, and anything else that might come up.
2. We will review your most recent lab work. It is very important that all medications and treatment plans are prescribed safely. Depending on your medical history we may need to repeat labs. We can use your insurance if you have insurance. If you don’t have insurance, the typical lab panel costs around $60. This can go up if there are multiple medical issues that need to be further evaluated. We will do our best to be cost conscious for you and work within your budget!
3. Then we start to implement the plan! We monitor closely for any treatment side effects, follow up any notes from specialists, and review any imaging studies.
4. As we are building out your treatment plan we may need follow up appointments.
5. When new medical concerns come up, we get you in for an appointment and make sure your medical needs are addressed.
