About Dr. Francois
Dr. Francois worked as an attending physician. She saw outpatient facilities leave less than 15 minutes of physician time per patient. She founded Sistascope direct primary care in 2018 and brought it to fruition in 2021.
She knew she would have to detach herself from the limits of insurance companies and large medical employers. She hopes the model lets patients sense a better level of care and trust from their primary care physician. She asks patients to be accountable for understanding basic concepts of their illness, taking medication as directed and self-care.
