Independent DPC practices: one partner for the work it takes to grow a membership practice

Just opened, or been here for years. The pressure is different.

Most practices are a bit of both. We start with what matters most to you.

Opened in the last few years: Building a panel one member at a time

The rent started before the panel filled. Only a small share of your former patients follow you, so new members have to find you. Your website and listing have to explain how membership works before anyone joins. You are the doctor, the marketer and the front office at once.

"Physicians starting from scratch often moonlight while their panels grow." Medical Economics, 2026

Established practice: Growing past your own hours without giving up why you went direct

Your members know you. The practice still runs on your evenings. Messages, the inbox and employer paperwork land on you, often with little or no staff. Growing means hiring, and the first hire is a big bet for a small practice. Your listing, reviews and website have not kept up with the practice you built.

"Sometimes I feel like I have too many ways for people to contact me." Dr. Rebekah Bernard, DPC owner, Medical Economics, 2026

How to grow a direct primary care practice, without doing it all yourself

These are services our team sets up and looks after for your practice. You see everything and approve anything that goes out under your name.

• Audit. See your practice the way prospective members do: A plain-language look at your Google listing, reviews, website and local search, and where prospective members are slipping away.
• Friction. Clear what stops someone joining: Wrong hours, a listing that never says direct primary care, a website that does not explain how membership works. We find and fix the details that cost you a new member.
• Automation. Routine work, drafted for your OK: Where we set it up for your practice, Olivia, our AI practice manager, drafts routine work like blog posts and other content for your team. Nothing is published, sent to members or changed in your systems without your approval.
• Growth. Found by the people near you: Your listing, reviews and local search kept current month after month, so patients find accurate, current details when they look.

A partner that does the work, not another login.

We look first: we review your practice as a new patient sees it and walk you through what we find. We set it up: we start with the biggest gap and take on the work you choose, on top of the systems you already use. You stay the owner: you approve what goes out, see what changed every month, and decide what we take on next.
