I started Compass Health because I believe primary care should feel the way it used to — and the way it should. Not a 10-minute visit squeezed between a waiting room full of strangers. Not a rushed prescription refill while a clock ticks somewhere behind the provider’s shoulder. Real care. The kind where your provider actually knows you, remembers your story, and has the time to sit with you and figure out what’s really going on.

That’s what direct primary care offers. As a member, you get same-day and next-day access, visits that run 30–60 minutes instead of 10, and a direct line to me and my team — not a call center. We have a special focus on hormone and menopause care, but Compass Health welcomes anyone age 11 and up who wants a real relationship with their primary care provider.

The Real Cost Savings of DPC

One of the things people are most surprised by is how much a direct primary care membership actually saves them. There’s no insurance company standing between you and your care — which means no copays, no surprise bills, and no guessing what a visit or a lab will cost. You know your flat monthly rate up front, and that’s it.

For many members, especially those with high-deductible health plans, DPC ends up being the only care they can actually afford to use before hitting their deductible. Labs are billed at transparent, member rates — often a fraction of what the same services cost billed through insurance.  Visits, emails, texts and phone calls are unlimited. And because visits aren’t capped at 10-15 minutes, we catch problems earlier and manage chronic conditions more proactively, which means fewer expensive downstream visits, urgent cares, and ER trips.

For the Business Owners in the Room

I know a lot of people reading this are running their own small businesses — and I want you to know Compass Health can be part of how you take care of your team, and your bottom line.

Direct primary care is one of the most cost-effective health benefits a small business can offer. Instead of unpredictable premium increases every year, you get a flat, predictable monthly cost per employee. Employees get seen quickly instead of waiting weeks for an appointment, which means less time out of the office and more time doing the work you depend on. Many businesses pair a DPC membership with a high-deductible health plan to significantly lower overall healthcare spend, while still giving employees real, unhurried access to a provider who knows them. I’d love to sit down with you and design a membership package that fits your team’s size and budget — no surprises, just care that actually works for your people.

If any of this resonates, I’d love to connect. Let’s talk about what unhurried, personal care — and real savings — could look like for you or your team.
