As a family physician, I’ve seen firsthand how hard it can be for patients with chronic diseases like diabetes, hypertension, and asthma to thrive in a traditional healthcare system. Office visits are rushed. Communication is fragmented. Too often, patients feel like they’re managing their health alone between short check-ins every few months. That was one of the main reasons I started Forward Family Medicine using the Direct Primary Care (DPC) model—so I could truly partner with patients who need ongoing, consistent support.
At Forward Family Medicine, chronic disease management is a major focus of what I do. My patients don’t have to wait weeks for appointments or worry about co-pays for every visit. I offer:
For example, I have a patient with Type 2 diabetes who texts me weekly blood sugar readings. We adjust her medication and diet in real time, helping her avoid dangerous spikes or drops. That kind of consistent, responsive care just isn’t possible in a traditional system.
Preventive care isn’t just a checklist. It’s a proactive approach to keeping you well. In DPC, I take the time to focus on early screenings, lifestyle guidance, and personalized health planning. Whether we’re talking about cancer screening timelines or cholesterol goals, I make sure each patient has a plan tailored to their risks and goals.
Direct Primary Care gives me the time and space to care for patients the way they deserve. If you’re ready for a more personalized and effective approach to managing your health, reach out. I’d be honored to be part of your care.
