About Direct Primary Care by Dr. Dorrego
Direct Primary Care by Dr. Dorrego was founded by Dr. Fernando Dorrego as the first DPC practice in Nashville, with the aim of restoring the doctor-patient relationship. The practice adopted an integrative approach to medicine, focusing on the patient's body, mind, and spirit. It eliminated the interference of insurance companies, billing companies, and healthcare corporations. Patients benefited from unrestricted access to Dr. Dorrego via same or next-day appointments, direct phone access, text messaging, and email. The practice welcomed patients regardless of age, pre-existing conditions, or insurance coverage and also served Spanish-speaking patients. Dr. Dorrego's model provided substantial savings and greater access to the physician. The membership-based approach allowed for longer appointments and personalized care, focusing on the whole person. By cutting out the middleman, the practice offered transparent pricing and wholesale rates on labs and medications. This direct care model fostered a collaborative approach to health between the patient and provider. Direct Primary Care by Dr. Dorrego operated on a membership basis, with fees around $75 per month for those under 65 and $100 per month for those 65 and older. These fees covered most primary care services, with some labs and medications available at wholesale prices. The practice aimed to provide accessible, available, and affordable healthcare, ensuring patients had the care they needed when they needed it. **Please note that Direct Primary Care by Dr. Dorrego is now permanently closed, and current patients have been notified**.
