Welcome
At Garcia Family Medicine, we’re different, and different is better - especially when it comes to healthcare. We understand the importance of one’s mental and physical health, which is why we operate outside the traditional health insurance system. Our practice offers better, more convenient, and less expensive primary and mental health care, without the hassle and high prices of health insurance.
Direct Primary Care (DPC) is not insurance. It’s an innovative healthcare option that allows patients quality care at an affordable price. Our patients pay a low monthly subscription membership for unlimited care - including same day or next day appointments - and discounted rates for testing. We offer several packages to accommodate as many needs as we can. Using this model, not only do we offer unparalleled access to providers, we are able to build genuine relationships with our patients. We value our community and the wellness of its people.
We welcome all patients, regardless of whether they have insurance. To keep our membership fees affordable, we do not file insurance claims—this remains the patient’s responsibility. Our Direct Primary Care (DPC) model allows us to provide high-quality, personalized care at a lower cost by offering membership rates that make standard medical care more accessible than traditional insurance. In some areas of healthcare, our services can even serve as a replacement for insurance. For non-members, we offer self-pay options for individual visits, but we do not accept health insurance for these services.
