Ribbon Cutting

    Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony is underway only 9 more days. We are having finger foods and drinks. No alcohol!!! Just though I should add that last part in. I can't wait to see the community and have everyone here. We have been working so hard. Our patients mean so much to use. This has been a journey, with in the last couple of months. It has been worth every minute. I talked to a patient today and realized, when we do talk to people that come in it's like we are talking to a friend or family member. Some that come in are closer to us then even some family members. We feel a connection to them. It makes you worm and fuzzy on the inside knowing that they love to come in and talk to us about anything. 

    I was told that people like coming in here because they don't feel embarrassed about anything. They can talk to us about deep problems or even  things that they have never told anyone. They are comfortable to come in because we make it feel like home. When you walk in the door it's not stuffy or white (like i have seen at doctors office). The doctor here don't act or dress like she is above anyone. We are all equal. When people feel that way everything spills out. It's a good thing because then we can find out what is really going on. They don't hind in a there feeling. 

    One patient that comes in brings her dog because he makes her feel better (we love when he comes in, he is a very good dog). We will do whatever is necessary for the patients to feel comfortable. Nowadays people have emotionally animals we understand it makes them feel better just knowing they are not by themselves. No one wants to be alone.

    I hope that this ribbon-cutting will help people understand we are here for them not just money. Health and wellness is the biggest thing for a long healthy life. Everyone wants to see their family grow and watch the mile stones. Not be a vegetable laying in a bed or chair. People want to be present and interact. 

    If you have a chance or live in this area please come to the ribbon-cutting. Also check out the Ogemaw County Voice they did an interview with us last week and put in the paper.

Social Media/red light therapy

 I'm not young anymore let me just put that out there. We are trying to do more with social media (Twitter/instagram/facebook/snapchat). We hope this will bring in more patients. I'm a little lost trying know things with social media. I think we have been doing ok with it but we think we could do better.  We did a ribbon cutting but that didn't bring in patients like with thought it would of. We also do whatever we can with chamber of commerce. Still nothing. To break even we need about 200 more patients. To bring money in, so we can keep open we will need double that. I sent out emails today for businesses for them to sign up their employees. I hope at least 6 of them will contact us. We are hopeful that direct primary care will be a great thing for the area. You can't buy or support your family off hope. We wish we could but that a dream not life.  I would love it if people would learn more about us and then they would know how we could help. We are setting up red lig

Medical Monday Near-Infrared Light Therapy (NIR)

  What is the difference between NIR and Red Light therapy? Near-infrared (NIR) light therapy is similar to red light therapy, except infrared  energy is invisible, and it reaches even deeper into the body- into soft tissues, muscles, joints, and bones.  Near-infrared units tend to promote topical healing and mild pain relief quite effectively, but far infrared heat are incredibly effective at removing toxins, improving circulation, and relaxing the muscles.  Near-infrared light therapy is a safe effective way to reduce pain and inflammation naturally.  Our full- body light therapy treatment, targets the entire body at once to promote maximum cellular production and transportation, supporting healing and optimal wellness throughout the body. Give us a call 1st visit is always free. we are here to answer any and all questions or concerns you may have.  West Branch DPC  www.westbranchdpc.com or call 989-701-2159

Self care

      I was talking to a patient on friday before I left work. She informed me her sister was going back to the hospital. Come to find out they sent her sister home with a colon collapse.  What is wrong with the hospitals? They never should of sent her home. She needs to have surgery. She is having surgery now, but they should of done that before they sent her home. Now she has an infection that is going to take time to clear up. This is the same thing I been hearing about from a lot of people the hospital don't have time to even look at patients. Why? Doctors go to school to help people not for the system to tell them otherwise. They refuse to do there job. It drives me crazy to not see the care that people need.      When covid happened care to patients went down hill. they shut down all medical offices. We had so many people die (not from covid) but because doctors were told to close offices. You couldn't even be seen for a runny nose you had to go to the hospital. Then when
