After more than 20 years as a registered nurse, I’ve seen the evolution of healthcare — and not always for the better.
When I first entered nursing, I was drawn to the profession by one simple truth: I wanted to help people. Whether it was easing someone’s physical pain or supporting their emotional well-being, that was what nursing meant to me — genuine, human care.
I remember watching doctors take their time with patients, piecing together each story like a puzzle to be solved — not just diagnosing, prescribing, and moving on.
But as the years went on, and as I stepped into leadership roles, I began to notice a shift. Personalized care was fading. Calling a doctor’s office and reaching a real person became almost impossible. The compassion and connection that once defined medicine were being replaced with call queues, portals, and policy check-boxes. It started to feel less like healthcare and more like customer service — the kind you’d expect from a cable company, not a clinic.
That realization became my turning point.
When Dr. Di opened his Direct Primary Care practice, I knew it was something special; a return to the kind of medicine that inspired me to become a nurse in the first place.
DPC brings healthcare back to its foundation: real care, real connection, real medicine.
In Direct Primary Care, appointments aren’t rushed. Patients can reach their providers directly and speak with someone who knows them, not a call center. There are no weeks-long waits for 10-minute visits. No cancelled surgeries because of overbooked schedules. Just accessible, compassionate care built on trust.
Yes, DPC is an investment, but it’s one that pays back in peace of mind, in genuine relationships, and in the confidence that your care team is truly there for you.
For me, joining the DPC movement wasn’t just a career choice — it was a return to purpose. It’s healthcare the way it was always meant to be.
