Direct Care Practices in Colorado Springs, CO

When I became a doctor, I did NOT dream of seeing a new patient every 5 minutes, referring them to other physicians for their actual care, and staying late into the night typing up notes instead of being with my family. Unfortunately that is exactly the life of most family doctors who work for insurance companies. When my patients pay me directly, instead of going through their insurance, I am able to provide much better care because there is no doubt about how is in charge; I work directly for my patients! Without needing to jump through the hoops that insurance companies require, I need a smaller stuff and have a smaller overhead, which means I need fewer patients to make ends meet. Fewer patients that I care for means I have more time to be with them during appointments and it's faster for them to make those appointments in the first place. The most common concern I have from new patients is that it just sounds too good to be true!
