"We call it membership because the payment method is a subscription to keep things simple, like so many other subscription services in our world today, but a patient will always be a patient and a person to me—not a customer, client, consumer, subscriber, beneficiary, entity, or other terms that might show up elsewhere in the healthcare system today. Please feel free to contact me to schedule for a free meet-and-greet session to learn more about how Direct Primary Care works and about my practice philosophy, to see if we would be able to work well to take care of your health. I’d be happy to meet you at the clinic, or a local coffee shop or library that would be more convenient for you. Please understand at this informational meeting, however, I will not be giving any specific medical advice for you or give out any prescription because it is not an actual medical appointment. Olive Branch DPC is now open and taking new patients. If you know you’re interested in becoming a patient, then please enroll as a patient by clicking the button below. It will go through AtlasMD, which is the electronic medical system I use that also handles billing, so I won’t have your credit card information. You won’t be charged until I’ve met you at your first actual appointment. After you enroll, I will also have your email to send you a Patient Agreement (contract) to look over, so you may have a chance to ask more specific questions, if any, at our first visit. The enrollment fee is the same as the monthly fee based on your age and please be aware the enrollment fee is in addition to the first month’s fee. There is no yearly contract, so if you find the DPC model or my practice not fitting your medical needs, you may cancel the membership at any time. In order to build a healthy doctor-patient relationship, however, please understand there will be a $50 re-registration fee if you would like to sign up again, after cancelling."
