I'm usually not one to write reviews, but my experience with Preferred Family Medicine was a mixed bag that left me questioning the direct primary care model. As someone who values transparency and simplicity in healthcare, I initially appreciated the concept of bypassing insurance and paying a monthly fee for unlimited office visits. However, the reality was far more complicated. The limitations on lab testing and imaging, despite being discounted, felt restrictive when I needed more comprehensive care. I understand the intention behind the practice's approach, but it sometimes felt like I was being funneled into a one-size-fits-all solution rather than receiving truly personalized care. The on-site pharmacy, while convenient, didn't always have the medications I needed at the promised near-wholesale prices, leading to some sticker shock. I did appreciate the 24/7 access for acute issues and the lack of co-pays, which was a significant relief during emergency situations. However, the overall experience felt more like a trade-off between cost and flexibility rather than a seamless, patient-centered experience. Perhaps it's the skeptic in me, but I found myself wondering if the elimination of the middleman had also eliminated some much-needed oversight and support. In the end, I decided that this model, while innovative, wasn't the right fit for my healthcare needs. It's not to say that Preferred Family Medicine doesn't have its strengths, but for me, the drawbacks outweighed the benefits. I hope this review can serve as a balanced perspective for those considering this practice, highlighting both the potential advantages and the challenges of direct primary care.
