Here's what makes Monroeville Direct Primary Care different:

  • You get one doctor who knows your whole story. We build a real relationship. I handle your care myself so nothing gets lost in the shuffle.

  • Your health is more than just a number on a scale. I use the best medical science to see the whole picture—like your blood pressure and energy levels. You can choose to be weighed or not. My office is a safe, shame-free space for people of every size. No unsolicited weight-loss advice! →Learn more about my weight-inclusive philosophy.

  • Healthcare should help you heal, not make things harder. I offer a safe place for people recovering from eating disorders. I focus on your body’s steady health and work closely with your therapists and dietitians to keep you safe and strong. →Read more about my recovery support.

  • I welcome and respect all people. It does not matter who you are or how you identify. You deserve to feel safe and seen when you go to the doctor. We will build a health plan that fits your life and your unique needs.

  • You are the expert on your own body. I am the expert on medical science. Together, we make a plan that works for you. I respect your space and your past. We always move at your pace, and you are always in control of your visit.

My Mission: To give you a medical home base where the best science meets kindness. I take the time to listen and use the latest medical facts to help you reach your goals.

  • This includes your yearly physical, wellness exams for kids, and screening (like Pap smears).

  • We work together to manage things like high blood pressure, diabetes, asthma, or anxiety. I look at your labs and your history to make the best plan with you.

    Conditions I manage include:

    • Diabetes

    • High blood pressure

    • High cholesterol

    • COPD/emphysema

    • Asthma

    • Allergies and eczema

    • Thyroid disorders

    • Migraine

    • Depression and anxiety

    • Medication for opiate use disorder

    • Smoking cessation

    • Family planning, including contraception management

    • Sexual health, including pre-exposure prophylaxis for HIV (PrEP)

    • Hormone management for diverse needs

  • If you get sick or have a new worry, I see you quickly. This includes helping with small injuries, skin checks, or infections.

  • I perform many tests in my office so you don't have to go elsewhere.

    • ECG with interpretation for adults

    • Pulse oximetry

    • Simple skin repair

    • Skin lesion biopsy

    • Abcess drainage

    • Joint injections

    • Pap smears

    • IUD insertion and removal

    For medical devices, samples and biopsies: I provide the expertise for the procedure. I will work with your insurance or pharmacy to get the devices. For samples sent to the lab (e.g., skin biopsy or Pap smear), the lab will issue a separate bill. →Learn more about outside costs

  • If you have an upcoming surgery, I do the "pre-op" check to make sure you are ready for the procedure. If you were recently in the hospital, I see you afterward to help you recover.

What is included?

Member Benefits

  • No more long waits or confusing phone menus. You can message me directly or book a visit quickly—often for the same or next day.

  • No "surprise bills" or co-pays. One monthly fee covers all your care with me. You will always know what you are paying.

    →Learn more about pricing.

  • We don't rush. Most visits are 30 to 60+ minutes long. We have the time to talk about your health and get the details right.

  • First, we have a free "Meet and Greet" over a video call. This lets us see if we are a good fit. If you are ready, I will send you a link to sign up and a simple agreement to sign.

  • DPC is a return to old-fashioned doctor visits. You pay one monthly fee instead of using insurance for every visit. This gives us more time to talk and lets me focus entirely on you.

  • Yes. I recommend keeping insurance for "big" things, like hospital stays or surgeries. Think of it like a car: insurance is for accidents; your membership is for the expert care that keeps you running every day.

  • Yes! While I don't bill your insurance for my time, you can still use it for your blood tests, X-rays, and prescriptions. I will also help with the paperwork your insurance needs to cover your medicine.

  • With this plan, there are no "hidden costs" or co-pays. You get a doctor who knows you well. By having easy access to me, many patients avoid expensive trips to the Emergency Room or Urgent Care.

  • That is the best time to start! We use our time to keep you healthy and prevent future problems. If you do get sick later, I will already know your history and can help you right away.

  • I am very honest about costs. Most visits and office tests are included in your fee. If we need to send a sample to a lab (like a Pap smear or a skin check), that lab will bill you separately. We will always talk about the cost before we do anything.

    →Learn more about wholesale lab pricing and the value of the DPC model.

  • There are no long-term contracts. I want you to stay because you love your care, not because you have to. You can cancel at any time.

How membership works:

Ready for a Doctor Who Actually Has Time for You?

The Problem: The "Big Systems" are broken. You wait months for a new patient visit, sit in a waiting room for an hour, and then get 15 minutes with a doctor who doesn't know your name. If you lose your insurance or need a refill today, they tell you to go to the ER.

The Solution: At Monroeville Direct Primary Care, I’ve replaced the waiting room with a direct line to my cell phone. I’ve replaced the 15-minute race with 60+ minute visits. I work for you, not an insurance company.

How to Join in 3 Simple Steps:

  1. Book Your Free 15-Minute Intro Call: Use the button below to pick a time for a video chat. We’ll talk about your health goals and see if we are a good match.

  3. Start Your Care (Often This Week!): Once you're a member, you get my direct number. We can schedule your first 60-minute visit right away—no months of waiting.

Still Have Questions? Let’s Find Your Answers.

Choosing a doctor is a big deal. You deserve to know that your doctor will listen to you, respect your time, and take your concerns seriously.

I offer a free 15-Minute Intro Call so we can see if we are a good match. Think of this as a chance for us to join forces. You are the expert on your life and your story. I am the expert on medicine. Together, we’ll see if Monroeville Direct Primary Care is the right home for your health.

What we will talk about:

  • How my "no-wait" model saves you time and stress.

  • How I provide safe, weight-neutral, and evidence-based care.

  • How transparent pricing works (no surprise bills, ever).

  • Any questions you have about how I can support your specific goals.

To keep our first chat focused on your goals and practice logistics, we won’t do medical exams or give specific medical advice during this call. We save that for our first full visit once you become a member!

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Many people use these accounts to pay for their membership. Because the rules can be tricky, I recommend asking your tax expert or plan manager to be sure.

  • Yes, there is a one-time fee of $150. This covers the "Deep Dive"—the time I spend reading all your old medical records to make sure your new health plan is perfect.

  • I see everyone from newborns to adults!

    Good to know for children: I recommend vaccines but do not offer them through the office. The Allegheny County Health Department can provide vaccines for children as young as 2 months.

    Good to know for adults over the age of 65: I am now able to accept Medicare enrollees.

  • Because I keep my practice small, I can usually see you within one or two days for urgent needs.

  • Members can message me directly through a secure app or call me. You talk to me, not a call center.

  • I can help with the first few months of pregnancy and care after you have your baby. For the birth and hospital stay, you will see a specialist. If you are in the hospital for other reasons, I will talk with your hospital doctors to help you heal.

  • Yes! I can see you in person or on a video call, but you must be in the state of Pennsylvania during our visit.

  • Yes. I have built this office to be a safe place for everyone. I respect who you are and how your family works. You will be treated with kindness and dignity here.
