As the founder of Gentile Family Direct Primary Care, Natalie Gentile, M.D. is able to practice medicine in a way that fits her best. With the lack of third-party interference and the ability to spend significant time with each patient, she is working to bring back the relationship-centered approach that was characteristic of the way medicine was practiced generations ago. Short wait times, unparalleled access to physicians, affordability, and customized care are just some of the attributes of the direct primary care (DPC) model that attracted Dr. Natalie to adopt it as her chosen entrepreneurial career path. Currently, she is in the process of joining forces with other DPC doctors in the region to form Direct Care Physicians of Pittsburgh, which is set to debut in January 2022.
