Part 6: Is Gaston Family Practice Right for You?

It’s Thursday afternoon and you’re sitting in a crowded waiting room, checking your watch again. Thirty minutes past your appointment time, and they just called someone who arrived after you. When you finally see the doctor, you’ll get maybe eight minutes of face time before being shuffled out the door, probably with more questions than answers.
Sound familiar? If you’re nodding your head, you’re exactly the kind of person who thrives with Gaston Family Practice.

Part 4: Why Parents Are Making the Switch

It’s 2 AM on a school night, and your 8-year-old has a fever of 102°F. Do you wait until morning and hope it breaks? Drive to the emergency room and spend four hours in a waiting room full of sick people? Or call in sick to work tomorrow so you can try to get a same-day appointment?

Part 3: What DPC Actually Costs vs. Traditional Care

Let’s talk about the elephant in the exam room: healthcare costs.

Let’s say you wake up with a sore throat and a 101-degree fever. In the traditional system, you’ll wait on hold, get an appointment for next Thursday, or sit in urgent care for hours. With DPC at Gaston Family Practice, you send a message and get a same-day appointment with a doctor who knows you.
