American healthcare

      With healthcare inflammation cost now a days I ask myself why do we bow down and say yes sir. That not what we americans fought for. We stand up and speak up. Nowadays everyone is to scared to do that, Why? Everyone is scared of the government but I ask again why? This is the land of the free. We can chose not to use there high cost health insurance and see a DPC provider. You don't have to have the best of the best health insurance you can get the high deductible plan, low monthly out of pocket plan. It will save you money. I believe that DPC providers can keep you healthy and out of the hospital. If something big does happen then you will have to pay that big deductible but that's a big IF. Thats where they try to scare you in to buying the big monthly out of pocket because IF you are hospitalised you won't have a big bill. Really does that make any sense. I have never been in the hospital longer than a day i'm hitting 40, so why would I pay that much for an IF every month. 

    Let's say you have been having problems breathing. You come in to us or a DPC doctor (that day) they do a breathing test on you (Free) and you fail it. We would send you to do a chest CT out of pocket cash $200. We can get it set up for the next day. Now let's say you have health insurance You see your doctor (not DPC) you need to pay a copay, your appointment might be that week maybe in 2 weeks. They do a breathing test on you ($25) you failed, so they say you need a CT. They have to fight with your insurance company to get an authorization. That could take a week. Then the office needs to call the hospital to set it up, that could take 1 week to get that done. That almost a month that you been having this problem and you might have the a blood clot. With DPC we have already treated you and you are 100% back to normal. With insurance they would even have to fight with your insurance to put you on the right medication that would work.

    I know not everyone will read and understand. give us a call let us show you the difference.

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
