Access Family Medicine (accessfamilymedicine.com) is Lincoln’s first Direct Primary Care clinic, designed to meet clients primary health concerns. Founded in 2016 by Dr. Johnson, the company strives to be unique from other family medicine practices. They’ve achieved this goal by capping a physician’s patient panel at 600 patients. This is a stark contrast to traditional practice where physicians usually have up to 2,000 patients.
The clinic is designed this way so that patients can receive highly personalized care so that the physicians can meticulously focus on the patients concerns. Teresa Novak worked as family practice provider for 30 years. Throughout her time in medicine she has treated and cared for over three generations. She has worked at Access Family Medicine for three years. Teresa believes one of the most important parts of caring for a patient is listening. “Many times, I can figure out a complicated problem just by paying attention to the little details my patient provides.”
Access Family Medicine happily doesn’t accept insurance. Don’t let this alarm you as patients save money as Access Family Medicine Members. Providing access to high quality, affordable healthcare is one of their top values.
Dr. Johnson shares what he’s learned since starting the practice in 2016. “The most surprising thing I learned in the last five years is that patients do not need to spend enormous amounts of money nor use expensive insurance plans to get great healthcare and outstanding outcomes. What we have learned is that people need a relationship with their provider who will take the time to listen to their needs and develop a plan based on their current situation and obstacles.”
With Access Family medicine patients can expect a minimum of 30 minute office visits, unlimited access to your physician, timely appointments and personalized care to make you experience the most comfortable as possible.
