Why I Chose to Pursue the DPC Model: The Success I've Found at Paradigm Primary Care and Wellness

Dr Hongfei Di

For years, I felt like I was practicing medicine with one hand tied behind my back. The

insurance system, with its endless paperwork, shrinking reimbursements, and

bureaucratic hurdles, was stifling my ability to provide the kind of care I knew my

patients deserved. I was spending more time fighting with insurance companies than

actually helping people heal. Sound familiar?

As a Doctor, I went into medicine to connect with my patients, to understand their

individual needs, and to guide them toward optimal health. However, I was increasingly

feeling like a cog in a machine, churning through patients in 8-minute appointments,

barely scratching the surface of their health concerns. I couldn't sleep at night, so I knew

something had to change.

That's when I discovered Direct Primary Care (DPC), and it felt like a lifeline. The DPC

model offered a completely different approach, one that puts the doctor-patient

relationship at the center of everything.

It's More Than Just a Business Model: It's a Better Way to Practice Medicine.

Transitioning to DPC was undoubtedly a leap of faith, but it's been the most rewarding

decision of my career. The success I've found at Paradigm Primary Care and Wellness

is beyond anything I could have imagined. I have happy patients again! 

My patients rave about the personalized care they receive. They feel heard, valued, and empowered to take control of their health. DPC’s commitment to quality health care changes

everything. It has renewed my passion to work again. The weight of the administrative

burden is lifted, allowing me to focus on what I truly love: helping people. I see a difference in their life, for once, and in the past I really did think it was a pipe dream.

What makes my DPC practice truly special is the ability to offer a comprehensive range

of services that meet the diverse needs of my patients. I am able to add, HRT, IV

therapy, GLP1 weight loss, In-house pharmacy, and in-house lab, to make it a one stop

shop for my patients. These are crucial to helping give people all they need. These

additional services allow me to provide a truly holistic approach to care, addressing not

only primary care needs but also offering specialized treatments to optimize their well-

being.

If you're feeling burned out, disillusioned, and trapped in the insurance system, I urge

you to explore Direct Primary Care. It's more than just a business model; it's a chance

to reclaim your passion, rediscover the joy of medicine, and build a practice, like

Paradigm Primary Care and Wellness, that is truly aligned with your values.

It's the best decision I ever made.
