We strongly recommend maintaining health insurance for unexpected or major medical events, such as surgery, advanced diagnostic testing, hospitalization, heart attack, stroke, or cancer treatment.

At SanFam Med, our focus is on primary healthcare—emphasis on care. We're able to handle 80–90% of your healthcare needs, from preventive care to managing chronic conditions, all within a hassle-free, personalized environment.

Many patients choose to keep their traditional insurance and also enroll in a DPC membership for better access to their physician and additional savings on labs, medications, and time. Others combine DPC with a high-deductible insurance plan and a Health Savings Account (HD/HSA), reducing monthly premiums while still protecting against significant healthcare expenses. Additionally, small businesses or self-funded employers might incorporate DPC into their employee health plans.

Your membership includes unlimited primary care visits (in-person, phone, text, or video), annual physicals, chronic condition management, wellness checkups, same-day or next-day sick visits, coordination with specialists, and more. You’ll also get access to discounted labs and medications.

We go beyond medical charts — we take time to understand your lifestyle, stress, goals, and overall well-being. Our Whole-Person Access Care means longer appointments, personal attention, and flexible access. All from a doctor who truly knows you.

The terms are often used interchangeably, but there are some key differences. Concierge practices usually bill insurance similar to traditional medical offices, while also charging patients an additional "concierge" fee for enhanced access or services. Direct Primary Care (DPC), on the other hand, prioritizes the patient above all else—offering care exactly when it's needed, avoiding rushed appointments, and actively managing personalized healthcare plans. True to its name, the DPC model emphasizes a direct relationship between doctor and patient. DPC clinics typically don't accept insurance; instead, they partner directly with patients, offering benefits such as wholesale lab testing, significantly discounted medications, and other cost-saving measures.

Another great benefit of being part of a DPC practice!

Because we operate independently of third-party insurance restrictions, our patients enjoy the flexibility of receiving care when and where they need it.

Since we know you well, we can often streamline your care even when you're away from home. Many illnesses can be diagnosed and treated through a simple phone call, email, text, or video visit. We'll find a nearby pharmacy and arrange for the medications you need based on your situation. And if an in-person visit is necessary while you're traveling, we may be able to connect you with a trusted DPC colleague in the area to continue your care.

Absolutely. Everyone deserves care tailored specifically to their needs—that’s why we offer healthcare that's refreshingly different. While we're always ready to address your immediate concerns, we believe proactive care is essential for lasting health, and that's our specialty.

We take the time needed to truly listen, while also saving you valuable time. No more waiting weeks for an appointment or sitting endlessly in waiting rooms. We provide convenient care through traditional office visits, phone calls, emails, or video chats—whatever suits your situation best, whenever and wherever you need us.
