Direct Primary Care
Membership-Based Medicine that Puts You First
A New Model of Care. An Old-Fashioned Kind of Attention.
At Desert Willow, we practice primary care the way it should be: unhurried, relationship-centered, and fully focused on you.
With our direct primary care model, you become a member — not a number. That means no copays, no surprise bills, and no insurance middlemen getting between you and your provider.
Just real care, when and how you need it.

Why Direct Primary Care?
Because traditional insurance-based medicine isn’t built for relationships — it’s built for volume.
Our model allows us to:

Keep our patient panel small (a few hundred instead of thousands)
Make decisions based on your needs — not billing codes
Spend real time with each patient
Be available to you in-between visits, not just during them
It’s thoughtful. It’s practical.
It’s the kind of care that just makes sense.
