Discover the DPC Difference
Healthcare that finally feels personal again.
At Alpine Wellness, I believe your health deserves more than a 7-minute visit and a quick prescription. I like the idea of healthcare like it used to be with more connection and trust, and less insurance barriers.
That’s why I made the choice to shift my practice towards Direct Primary Care (DPC) a membership-based approach that allows me to side-step insurance and put more focus on you.
You’ll have direct access to your provider, longer visits, same-day or next-day appointments, and transparent pricing — all for one simple monthly fee. No hidden costs, no middlemen, and no waiting weeks for care.

What really is DPC?
Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a modern approach to healthcare that puts the focus back where it belongs, on the relationship between you and your provider.
Instead of billing insurance for every visit or test, DPC works on a simple membership model. You pay a flat monthly fee that covers unlimited visits, same-day or next-day appointments, and direct communication with me whenever you need it.
Because I don’t work through insurance companies, I can spend more time listening, understanding your story, and creating a care plan that actually fits your real life.
This model allows for genuine, accessible, and personalized care — without the rushed, impersonal feel of traditional medicine.
Why It Works Better
If we’re being honest, it truly feels like the traditional healthcare system is broken. I witnessed far too often that patients were being rushed, appointments were delayed, and meaningful connections were rare.
DPC changes that by removing insurance-driven restrictions and bringing back what medicine was always meant to be
personal, proactive, and centered around trust.
Here’s why it works:
More time with your provider — no 5-minute visits here.
Direct communication — text, call, or message me anytime.
Same-day or next-day appointments — because your time matters.
Transparent pricing — no copays, no surprise bills.
Smaller patient panel — I intentionally limit the number of patients I see so every person gets the time and attention they deserve.Instead of billing insurance for every visit or test, DPC works on a simple membership model.
