A better approach
A new way to do healthcare in South Georgia
We practice medicine a little differently at direct DOC. By utilizing a direct primary care (DPC) model, we do not bill your insurance for the care we provide; rather, we charge a monthly membership fee for access to a wealth of care benefits. We don’t collect co-pays, nor do we bill your insurance for the care we provide. We keep it as simple as possible.
direct DOC is part of an innovative movement in health care called Direct Primary Care (DPC). Our members join direct DOC through a flat, recurring monthly fee, much like a gym membership. This model reduces the hassle of insurance claims and allows the growth of a patient-doctor relationship as it should be: with the focus on your health. direct DOC is your advocate for affordable, yet excellent, medical care and 24/7 access to your provider– anytime and anywhere.
Instant access. No hassles.
-

Founded on the idea of true personal care– we know our patients by name.
A Personalized Approach to Healthcare
Our goal is to provide our members with excellent primary care in a cost-efficient and transparent manner. By limiting our practice to around 900 patients per provider (traditional practices average 2,500 patients per provider), you will have increased access to our providers. Wholesale prices on labs and many generic medications, along with extended office visits, are just a few of the benefits our members receive.

Meet Our Team
Our direct DOC providers have decades of combined medical experience.
My goal as a physician is to work for my patients to improve their lives through better health care. Starting direct DOC was a way to accomplish that goal by reducing the cost of care and removing the insurance ``middleman`` that creates headaches for providers and patients alike. At direct DOC, we can get back to how health care should be – with your health and well-being at the forefront. We look forward to adding you to our medical family and showing you how your health care should be.

I’ve been a practicing medical professional in southern Georgia for many years. My experience spans the breadth of primary care to include chronic care management, hospital medicine, ER work and employee wellness. I feel that through direct DOC, we can eliminate many of the barriers to health care and rejuvenate the patient-provider relationship. This will ultimately lead to better health outcomes and save our members money along the way.
