Sarah Thayer, MD

"Dr. Thayer grew up in Annville, KY and she graduated from the University of Kentucky School of Medicine in 2012. She completed an internal medicine and pediatric residency in 2016 at the University of Louisville where she also served as chief resident. She continues to serve as gratis faculty at the University of Louisville School of Medicine. Dr. Thayer worked after residency at Baptist Health Lagrange both in primary care and nursery medicine. Dr. Thayer is her patient’s greatest advocate. She loves getting to know them and their families. She enjoys spending time with them and helping them through illness and managing chronic medical issues. As a new physician, she was becoming discouraged by the number of patients she was required to see and the time limits placed on those visits. She is excited to start at MedLou and continue to grow as a physician in a setting that will allow her to take better care of patients."

"Direct Primary Care (DPC) by MedLou takes the insurance companies and escalated insurance costs out of the physician patient relationship. It works to help the physician stop clicking boxes, and instead have time to spend with patients and run a practice the old fashioned and AFFORDABLE way. For less than the price of your monthly cell phone or cable bill, you can get high quality primary care that will help you live a happier, healthier life. Direct Primary Care by MedLou allows our physicians to practice medicine in a more relaxed manner for the reasons they went to medical school, namely taking care of patients. Other practice models only allow for 10-15 minute appointments. MedLou’s DPC model allows for 30-60 minute appts or longer if needed. In addition, this model affords more time for your primary care doctor to talk with specialists. MedLou offers benefits to both the patient and the physician. In an era where physician burn out is real, MedLou offers its physicians work life balance which in the long run benefits everyone."
