Primary care medicine has had a few evolutions over the years. Currently, it's a short amount of time a patient has with their assigned primary care doctor, often leaving a lot of unanswered questions, rarely allowing timely access when the patient really needs it.

Direct Primary Care is reimaging this concept by allowing more time in each visit, choosing a small patient panel, and creating a longterm bond between doctor and patient. 7-10 minutes doesn't leave enough time to have the nuanced discussion, often leading to rushed prescriptions, errors, and disappointment on both sides.

In this episode we'll talk about Direct Primary Care and how I have structure my virtual primary care practice after it at DrAshori.com.
