Services at Durango Primary Care

Durango Primary Care is a direct primary care clinic. Direct primary care, or DPC, is an innovative way to get personalized, quality, comprehensive healthcare for a low, flat monthly fee.

To be more exact, DPC is a membership model for healthcare. Every patient pays a flat monthly fee to become a member of the practice. We do not bill health insurance.  This means no third parties telling you or your doctor what can be done, no middlemen, no hassle.  As a DPC patient, you forge a relationship with a doctor that knows you. No more scheduling months in advance; your DPC doctor is at your fingertips. If you need an in-person visit, you can usually book one the same or very next day. Email, text, or call, even after hours.  Enjoy longer visits and less waiting. 

Preventative Care

We offer adult annual/wellness visits, well-child checks and women’s preventative visits with advanced laboratory, cancer and cardiac screenings.  Our goal is to improve and maintain your overall health and to empower you with an understanding of your medical conditions and wellness plan.  

Acute/Urgent Care

Skip the urgent care and come to the office for same-day and next-day visits included with your membership at no extra cost.  Call or text for after-hours or health problems while traveling.  UTI on vacation? Get treated with a simple phone call instead of wasting your precious free time and money at an overpriced urgent care. 

Pediatric Care

Full pediatric care for children one year old and above. 

Chronic Disease Management

We specialize in ongoing management of chronic diseases of all types.  Diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, mental health are only a few.  Imagine the freedom to see your doctor quarterly, monthly, or even weekly to truly control your condition without worrying about the expensive bills that follow.

• Save Money! - whether you have insurance or not, a flat monthly fee is often less than co-pays or office visit fees at traditional practices
• Local - Much of the money we spend on health insurance and large hospital chains is pocketed by corporate CEOs and shareholders. The money you spend at Durango Primary Care stays local. 
• More time with your doctor - Sick of feeling like you're on an assembly line at your doctor's office, longer visits - even up to an hour, are the norm at Durango Primary Care. 
• Privacy - because we skip insurance, nobody else needs to access your medical chart.
• Transparency - Our costs are clearly shared with patients, no more surprise bills!
• Better access to care - we are usually available for same and next-day appointments.  We can get new patients in within a week. 
• Be Healthier - studies have shown that patients with a direct primary care doctor are healthier, have fewer hospitalizations, and better control of their chronic diseases. 

We don't bill insurances.  Insurance will typically not reimburse patients for direct primary care costs.  Due to federal and state laws, we cannot accept patients with Medicaid.
