Care for your patients and for yourself.
By taking insurance payments out of the equation, DPC refocuses pediatric care on what was always most important: the doctor-patient relationship. Children and families get more time, more access, and overall higher quality care. Pediatricians get to manage their schedule, their income, and their joy in medicine again.
After all, you shouldn’t have to sacrifice your own health and well-being to serve others; in fact, a healthier, happier pediatrician makes for a better pediatrician!

Become a Pediatrician Entrepreneur
You probably didn’t learn much about business during all those years in medical school and residency, but that doesn’t mean you can’t succeed. If you can learn to examine a thrashing toddler, do lumbar punctures, and diagnose and treat thousands of medical conditions, you can learn to start and run a business. We’re here to help you learn how.
There are now over 100 direct pediatric care practices all over the country, and more are starting every day. If we can do it, so can you!
