One of the biggest (and most important) differences you’ll find between us and other traditional Family Medicine practices is the number of patients we see. Nationally and locally, most Family Medicine doctors routinely include 2,000-3,000 patients, or more, in their practices!
Drs. Dan and Jeff each have a close Family Medicine practice consisting of about 600 patients. With this solid foundation, the advantages are inevitable and plentiful.
As a member of Forest DPC, you’ll have access to the following:
- Increased access to your doctor. You’ll be able to reach your doctor and other medical information via e-mail, text, cell phone and more.
- Extended, relaxed visits. You won’t feel rushed through an appointment; you’ll have time to ask your questions.
- Because we accept less patients, you will have a real relationship with your doctor. You’re a priority, and you’ll feel like one.
- An annual physical and educational visit. This exam will be fitted to your personal medical needs. It’s about you and your specific goals for wellness.
- Diagnostic and procedural benefits at no extra costs (see below).
- Wholesale labs done right in the office. We’ll pass our benefits right on down to you.
