IMPORTANT INFORMATION

​

Limited New Patient Panel Enrollment

​

We opened August 15, 2024 and we are already nearing our full patient panel size.  We plan to keep our membership numbers at a level to ensure our availability to existing members.  We ARE continuing to take new members but have limited remaining availability.  (We will always continue to enroll new College Student Members and as possible, referrals initiated by our trusted mental health  professional colleagues).   

If interested in joining our practice, please first review this website in entirety to learn how our direct care practice works and can work for you, and then inquire by emailing Hello@WellspringDirect.com or calling (205)248-7537 Monday through Thursday. If our staff cannot take your call at that moment due to patient care duties, they can call you back shortly.

NEW PATIENT INQUIRIES

IMPORTANT ! 

Before requesting potential membership:

First, review the website thoroughly, including the FAQ section, so you will thoroughly understand how a DPC practice works and can work for you.  Then email us at Hello@WellspringDirect.com with NEW PATIENT INQUIRY in the subject line and include your name, age, (or that of the person you are inquiring for), along with email & phone number. Include any specific questions or interest in category memberships and if you wish a call back or email reply.  You may call the office but my staff may need to plan a call back to allow plenty of time for your questions.

​

We accept a limited number (panel)

of patient members to ensure our accessibility to existing members.

We are continually refining our processes and efficiency and

assessing our capacity.  We are nearing and likely will reach our capacity in 2026, though we generally won't restrict college student memberships.
