There are a lot of parallels between American independence from England and Ultra Primary Care’s independence from corporate medicine and insurance! 

And, in the past six months, since I have opened Ultra Primary Care, I have enjoyed more freedom in every aspect of medicine.

I love the freedom to dive into research about problems like long CoVID or new ways to test for skin cancer.   Having extra time allows me to share personalized, up-to-date recommendations for the best care at the right time.

I love knowing that my schedule accommodates patients’ needs, no matter what they might be.  And, I love being able to see patients virtually—even for things like sore throats, sore joints, and sore backs.  It’s gratifying to guide patients through a virtual examination to glean the necessary information to get everyone better sooner.    Did you know that in many cases, I can get a better-detailed look at tonsils with a phone camera than I can in real life?   Virtual examination has come a long way!  And that means that patients have many more options for evaluation.

I love the freedom to send a quick text or portal message to check in as patients make progress with new diets, exercise habits, starting a new medication, or undergoing tests or procedures.  Because “medicine” really isn’t limited to office visits!  Having that ongoing thread of communication allows us to get to know each other, so there is more trust, more care and more health.

The freedom to do medicine differently means medicine that works FOR patients.
