Direct Primary Care is a membership-based healthcare model independent of insurance. Patients communicate directly with their doctor for a more personalized, proactive and accessible model of healthcare. Visits are not rushed, you don’t get shuffled around with different medical providers, and you don’t have to wait months to see your doctor.

Direct primary care is about prioritizing your health to reduce the need for hospitalizations, urgent care or ER visits. A membership can also reduce specialist visits because you have more time with and easier access to your primary care physician. You can actually save money by joining. When you do need to see a specialist, we will refer you to your preferred specialist or local physicians we trust in a timely manner.

Yes, you should still have insurance in case of emergency. Our clinic cannot replace an emergency room or hospital. Your insurance can still be used for referrals, medications, lab orders and additional testing.

There is an initial enrollment fee of $499, which includes your first month of membership, a comprehensive health exam, 12 lead EKG and multi-organ system point of care ultrasound in the office with Dr. Alpert. Each subsequent month of membership is $199. The initial enrollment fee is intended to encourage long-term membership and give value to the initial work of seeing a new patient. You can cancel anytime but will need to pay the enrollment fee again if you rejoin. I am available during our office hours Monday through Friday 9AM to 4:30PM.

Seasonal membership is available for part-time residents. Only pay for the months you are living in Florida.

Our office hours are Monday through Friday 9AM to 4:30PM. If you need assistance outside of these hours, please seek medical care as appropriate. Emergency care should always be sought in the emergency room. I will give advance notice for vacations and holidays.
