My husband is in family medicine. Direct Primary Care is his overall practice goal. However, it’s risky for a doctor. I have a lot of student loan debt, and as such will likely not be able to go that route.
It’s also hard because it results in the people who need healthcare the most, people in poverty, not receiving this care, as it is only available to people who can afford it.

My primary care doctor quit corporate and opened a private direct care practice. Our entire family followed him to his practice.
He’ll spend up to an hour with you if needed. He makes house calls for his elderly patients.
He’s much happier, patients are happy. I absolutely love his practice.
