About Us
Our Story
As pediatricians, we worked in the insurance-based system for years, doing our best to provide the best care possible for children and their families. Despite our best efforts, we found ourselves constrained by the time limitations, payment hassles, and communication delays. We knew there had to be a better way.
Direct pediatric care was that better way – but when we first started, we had to filter through a lot of information and resources to find the guidance we needed. We also discovered things that worked, and things that didn’t.
Through DPC Pediatrician, we seek to compile the best and most reliable resources so that you can easily discover if direct pediatric care is right for you. And, if it is, you have the necessary resources at your disposal so that you can set yourself on the path to success!
