Why Is DPC So Great?
By Dr. Janelle Sosa, DirectMed DPC New Braunfels
Tell Me If These Things Sound Familiar to You:
- “I need to get into my doctor but they don’t have any availability today”
- “I’m really not feeling well, I guess I have to go to urgent care”
- “I really need to schedule my annual physical but they’re booked out for months”
- “I’ve tried calling and calling but I can’t get anyone from the office to return my message”
If these things sound familiar and you’re tired of dealing with it, then Direct Primary Care would be probably a good option for you.
The DPC Difference
Same-Day or Next-Day Availability
In Direct Primary Care, we have a lot more availability—almost always same-day or next-day appointments. No more waiting weeks or months to see your doctor when you need care.
Direct Access to Your Doctor
You get your doctor’s cell phone number. My patients have my direct number and can send me text messages with little questions whenever they need to. We can quickly determine: Does this need to be addressed right now? Should you make an appointment whenever you can? Or do I really need to see you tomorrow? The availability is really, really great.
More Time With Your Doctor
We also have so much more time to spend with our patients. Instead of rushing through a 15-minute appointment (if you’re lucky), I can sit and speak with my patients for 30 minutes, an hour if we need to. I make sure that we get everything taken care of.
Ready to Try Something Different?
If this sounds like something you’d want to try out, DirectMed DPC offers free virtual meet and greets where you can talk to me and ask any questions—no obligation or anything. We can see if this would be a right fit for you and go from there.
Elimination Diet! What’s That?
Could food be causing your illness?
Many individuals struggle with unexplained health issues, such as rashes, irritable bowel syndrome, and autoimmune diseases, that often go undiagnosed despite initial medical tests.
Dr. Simmons explains how and why an elimination diet works.
Eliminating inflammatory foods from our diet for several weeks and slowly reintroducing them back can help us identify foods that we should permanently remove from our diet in order to help us be at our optimal health.
You Have The Power To Transform Your Life!
The power rests in your hands!
Integrative and functional medicine are rapidly gaining popularity and for good reason. These practices empower patients to take control of their own health and well-being through incremental changes in their lifestyle. Unlike traditional medicine, where the power to heal is in the hands of pharmaceutical companies, integrative and functional medicine focus on optimizing the patient’s health through natural methods.
Dr. Travis discusses how using a functional and integrative medicine approach with your doctor, you have the power to transform your life through incremental changes.
YOU MATTER…Just The Way You Are!
A message everyone needs to hear.
You matter. The person you are right now, sitting here reading this post, matters. You don’t have to be some perfect version of yourself to be worthy of love, connection, and support. You deserve all of those things just as you are.
Dr. Travis Simmons explains the importance of patients hearing the words YOU MATTER from their doctor and making them feel that way through their actions.
Does Your Physician Spend Quality Time With You?
Have you ever felt like your doctor didn’t have time for you?
Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a different approach to healthcare that allows doctors to spend more time with patients. In traditional healthcare settings, doctors often feel rushed and patients may feel like their doctor doesn’t have time for them.
Dr. Travis Simmons discusses his frustration not only of being a physician who was forced to spend little time with his patients but also as a patient where his own doctor was not able to spend quality time addressing his care. Dr. Simmons explains why direct primary care is different and embraces the idea of genuine care with meaningful doctor/patient relationships.
Ways To Naturally Boost Your Immune System!
The all-natural imune booster that costs nothing: sleep.
Getting enough sleep is an all-natural immune booster that has a ton of other far-reaching effects like reducing your risks of various diseases. Studies show that getting at least 7-8 hours of sleep on a regular basis boosts antibodies, immune cells that fight infections, and cancer-fighting immune cells.
Dr. Travis Simmons educates about how great sleep is the key to naturally boosting your immune system and significantly reducing your risk of contracting many different chronic diseases.
DPC Saves Money! by Dr. Travis Simmons
Tired of paying too much for health care?
Dr. Travis Simmons educates about how Direct Primary Care (DPC) should NOT be looked at as just an extra cost. In fact, DPC can save your family or business a lot of money while getting everyone super high-quality care, especially when you have a deductible that forces you to pay overly inflated insurance prices for all your care.
