Frustrated with your current healthcare experience?
Going to the doctor’s office can be frustrating. Hard-to-get appointments, long waiting times between arriving and being seen, and then a rushed few minutes during which you inevitably forget something important you wanted to get advice on from your physician.
There is another way.
- Appointments whenever you need them, often on the same day.
- Visits that last between 60-90 minutes so you can be sure you are getting comprehensive and proactive care.
- Out-of-hours direct doctor access via text, phone and video call - your health doesn’t switch off at 5pm, so why should your healthcare?
All for a small, flat monthly fee.
For many people, direct patient care can work out better value for money than the traditional healthcare system.

Why Direct Patient Care?
Time
You can enjoy comprehensive appointments with Dr. Dan that last more than 5 times as long as the typical 13-16 minute office visit for a traditional primary care practice.¹
We respect your time. We will offer your prompt appointments (often same day!) and will see you at the time your visit is booked for.
As a Direct Patient Care physician, Dr. Dan dedicates more time to finding and solving the causes of any ill-health you experience rather than just putting a band-aid on the symptoms.

Money
Research shows an association between Direct Patient Care and a “reduction in overall health care claim costs and emergency department usage."²
This was even after taking into account differences in age, gender and health status of both the Direct Primary Care and the traditional participants.
Another study found DPC members spent 85% less than their peers using traditional primary care services.³

More time means more thorough and comprehensive care, in sickness and in health. By looking after your good health, we help you avoid unnecessary ill health and the associated treatments.
