Why choose direct care?

The Benefits for Patients and Providers

At Solely Podiatry, I am excited to introduce a new approach to foot and ankle care—direct care. As we prepare to open in January 2025, I want to take a moment to explain how this model is different from the traditional healthcare experience and how it benefits you, the patient, as well as providers like me.

What Is Direct Care?

Direct care is a healthcare model that removes the complexity of insurance-based systems. At Solely Podiatry, this means offering transparent pricing, individualized care, and a focus on what truly matters—your health and well-being. Instead of navigating copays, deductibles, and prior authorizations, our patients pay a flat, upfront fee for services.

This simplicity fosters a relationship between patient and provider that is centered on trust and communication, not bureaucracy.

Benefits for Patients

Here’s how direct care empowers you as a patient:

1. Cost Transparency
   You’ll know exactly what to expect with no surprise bills or hidden fees. This allows you to plan for your care without financial guesswork.

2. More Time with Your Doctor
   Direct care eliminates the rushed appointments common in traditional healthcare. At Solely Podiatry, I have the time to listen to your concerns, fully evaluate your condition, and develop a customized treatment plan.

3. Personalized, High-Quality Care
   With fewer administrative hurdles, I can focus entirely on your needs. Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, an acute injury, or simply seeking preventative care, you’ll receive treatment tailored specifically to your goals.

4. Streamlined Experience
   Say goodbye to long waits for insurance approvals. With direct care, you can schedule your appointment, receive treatment, and move forward—without unnecessary delays.

Benefits for Providers

The direct care model isn’t just transformative for patients—it’s also a game-changer for providers.

1. Freedom to Practice Medicine the Right Way
   In a direct care setting, I can dedicate my time and energy to treating patients, not paperwork. This means a more fulfilling experience for me and better outcomes for you.

2. Focus on Relationships
   Without the constraints of insurance, I can cultivate a meaningful relationship with each patient. This helps me understand your unique circumstances and provide truly personalized care.

3. Enhanced Work-Life Balance
   Operating outside the traditional system allows me to manage my practice in a way that supports my passion for podiatry and my commitment to my family and community.

A Partnership in Health

Opening Solely Podiatry is a dream come true, but more importantly, it’s an opportunity to redefine how you experience foot and ankle care. The direct care model is about partnership, where you’re empowered to make informed decisions about your health, and I’m free to provide the best possible care.

If you’re ready for a healthcare experience that prioritizes you, I can’t wait to welcome you in January 2025. Together, we’ll take the first step toward better foot and ankle health—no barriers, no red tape, just exceptional care.
