"In January 2015, Dr. James Capó and Dr. Kelleen Fitzgerald opened a Direct Care Membership Practice to provide a more personalized experience for our patients. This type of practice requires that we limit the size of each of our practices to enhance the medical services we provide and to give our members the time and attention they deserve. This personal level of health care offers benefits beyond today's typical "traditional" system. Understanding the dynamics of an individual’s health issues, family issues, risks and possible exposures are all important in providing the highest level of care. A Direct Care Membership Practice adds depth to the patient-physician partnership and allows us to decide on the best treatment plan together. Our goal is to manage and anticipate your unique healthcare needs and to provide comprehensive primary care in a relaxed setting at an unhurried pace. We will partner with you on a personal level to help you achieve the optimal health we all value. We will closely collaborate on what it takes to stay on the path to wellness. You will be welcomed by the relaxed, individualized attention you receive from everyone in our office."
