Great Health Starts with Primary Care
In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to overlook the importance of maintaining good health. However, a strong foundation of health is crucial for living a long and fulfilling life. One of the most effective ways to stay healthy is by establishing a relationship with a primary care doctor.
At FreedomDoc, we combine traditional primary care services with preventive care to ensure your overall wellness is being taken care of. Whether you’re in for a sick visit or routine care appointment, we’re here to keep you on the path to great health.
What is the role of a primary care physician?

- Cough
- Sore throat
- Flu symptoms
- Fever
- Vomiting/diarrhea
- Rash
- Back strain
- Ankle sprain
- Foot care
- Small lacerations
- Skin care

Emergency rooms are for life-threatening situations or situations that could become life-threatening.

Remember to follow-up with your primary care physician after an emergency room visit.

The Benefits of Primary Care in Direct Primary Care (DPC) vs. Traditional Care Models
Lower Costs: DPC models often have lower out-of-pocket costs for patients, as they eliminate the need for insurance billing and administrative overhead.
Increased Access: Patients in DPC models typically have more access to their primary care doctors, with longer appointment times and shorter wait times for appointments.
Improved Patient Satisfaction: DPC patients often report higher satisfaction levels due to the personalized care and strong doctor-patient relationships.
Better Health Outcomes: DPC models focus on preventive care and early intervention, which can lead to better health outcomes and reduced risk of chronic diseases.
