Direct Primary Care, or DPC, is a model of healthcare that puts patients first by getting rid of the red tape by which most other traditional practices are restricted.

Main Street Family Medicine is a Direct Primary Care practice in Vancouver, Washington. We offer a model of family healthcare that is accessible, comprehensive, affordable, and personal.

The terms are often used interchangeably and essentially refer to the same principles. Direct Primary Care is a healthcare model focused on putting the patient first. That means treating them when they need it, never rushing patients through appointments, and being proactive with healthcare treatment plans. Direct Primary Care clinics don’t accept insurance, but choose to work directly with the patient, providing deeply discounted labs, affordable prescriptions, and guidance on the cheapest cash-pay imaging and referral services in our community.

We have cut the red tape of bureaucracy. The restrictions that typically leave physicians in a traditional healthcare setting buried in unhelpful paperwork are lifted through Direct Primary Care, allowing us to spend our time where it really counts- with patients. In refusing to recognize any interference with the sanctity of the patient-physician relationship, we have returned family medicine to its root values of clinical excellence for and compassionate knowledge of every patient. In every aspect of family healthcare, we promise accessibility, convenience, and affordability.
