What is Direct Primary Care?
Direct Primary Care is a healthcare model that removes many of the administrative barriers of traditional insurance-based medicine. Instead of billing insurance for routine visits, patients join the practice through a simple monthly membership that covers primary care services.
Benefits of Direct Primary Care include:
• Longer, unrushed appointments
• Direct communication with your provider
• Transparent pricing
• Focus on preventive care and lifestyle health
• Easier access for questions and follow-up care
This model allows for a more personalized approach to healthcare and helps patients stay proactive about their health.

The goal is to provide a safe space where patients can openly discuss their health and receive compassionate medical care.
HIV/STI Prevention: PrEP and PEP
Preventive medicine is a key part of modern primary care. Two powerful tools in HIV/STI prevention are PrEP and PEP.
PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis)
PrEP is a medication that significantly reduces the risk of acquiring HIV when taken consistently. It is recommended for individuals who may be at increased risk of HIV exposure.
PrEP services at D’Amico Primary Care include:
• PrEP consultation and risk assessment
• Routine laboratory monitoring
• Sexual health counseling
• Ongoing preventive care
DoxyPEP for STI Prevention
Another emerging strategy in sexual health prevention is DoxyPEP
DoxyPEP involves taking a dose of doxycycline shortly after certain sexual exposures to reduce the risk of some bacterial sexually transmitted infections, including:
• Chlamydia
• Syphilis
• Gonorrhea
Recent research shows that DoxyPEP may significantly reduce the risk of these infections in some individuals at higher risk.
At D’Amico Primary Care, patients can discuss whether DoxyPEP is appropriate for their sexual health plan and receive guidance on safe and effective use.
Mental Health and Wellness
Mental health is a critical part of overall well-being. Primary care providers are often the first place patients turn when experiencing concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, or burnout.
Services may include:
• Mental health screening
• Medication management when appropriate
• Lifestyle and wellness counseling
• Coordination with therapy or psychiatry when needed
Direct Primary Care allows for longer visits and ongoing conversations that help support both physical and mental wellness.
Chronic Disease Management
Primary care plays an important role in helping patients manage chronic health conditions and maintain long-term wellness.
Common conditions managed at D’Amico Primary Care include:
• Diabetes
• High blood pressure
• High cholesterol
• Thyroid disorders
• Metabolic health concerns
Through regular monitoring, lifestyle guidance, and individualized care plans, patients can better manage their health and reduce long-term complications.
