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)
