I believe medicine works best when it’s personal. I want to know my patients — your story, your worries, your goals — so together, we can make decisions that support your best possible health. There are no automated systems telling us what to do, no insurance rules steering the conversation. Just a real relationship, built on trust, where you feel heard, understood, and supported every step of the way.

View All FAQs

What is Direct Primary Care?

Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a health care model where you pay your doctor a simple monthly fee for access to care whenever you need it. It means you get longer visits, direct communication with your doctor, and a more personal, stress-free healthcare experience without the hassle of insurance.

Do I Need Health Insurance?

Fusella Family Medicine is NOT a substitute for health insurance. It is highly recommended you maintain health insurance to help pay for labs, medications, imaging, specialty care, hospital services, etc.

What is the difference between concierge and DPC?

Concierge typically has higher membership pricing and bills insurance. DPC has lower monthly memberships and does not bill insurance but instead facilitates prior authorization of medications and imaging with insurance companies.

What if I need to see a specialist?

If the need arises for you to see a specialist, we will help to facilitate such a referral within your health insurance network.

What if I need to use the ER or be admitted to the hospital?

While it is our goal to help maintain your good health, certain situations may arise that require use of the ER or require hospital admission. We will help to facilitate such coordination of care and we will follow up with you after discharge from the hospital. However, we do not provide ER or in-patient care.
