Direct Primary Care (DPC) Physician - Treat Just 8 Patients/Day - UNHEARD OF Work-Life Balance

Job Description

Job Description

Are you a Family Medicine physician eager to engage in meaningful, relationship-focused healthcare without the stress of high patient volumes, tight schedules, or overflowing inboxes?

Our physicians describe this opportunity as rewarding, balanced, and reminiscent of "traditional medicine with a small-town atmosphere." This Direct Primary Care (DPC) practice offers just eight one-hour patient appointments each day, enabling you to practice medicine in a way that aligns with its true essence. There’s no insurance billing and no bureaucratic hurdles—just a fantastic culture dedicated to delivering exceptional patient care and outcomes!

What Sets This Practice Apart

• One-hour patient appointments: Ample time to concentrate on prevention, lifestyle choices, education, and building strong relationships.

• Smaller patient panels: Fewer than 1,000 patients when fully established.

• Genuine work/life balance: Physicians consistently report being home for dinner with their families every evening.

• Direct communication with patients: Manage only a few messages daily, unlike the 60-80 typical in conventional practices.

• Collaborative environment: All physicians and Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) engage through an active, supportive group chat for swift clinical collaboration.

• Remarkably low turnover: No physicians have left the organization in nearly a decade!

• Leadership that values input: Regular monthly and quarterly meetings, approachable executives, and ongoing investments in technology and operations.

• Light call responsibilities: Minimal call for your small panel, typically involving only a dozen messages daily, rather than traditional call coverage.

• No insurance billing: Completely free from the complexities and frustrations of insurance!

Why This Model is Effective

• Maintain limited panel sizes to foster genuine patient relationships.

• Dedicate time to preventative and lifestyle medicine.

• Achieve work/life balance without compromising patient care.

• Experience improved health, reduced stress, renewed enthusiasm for medicine, and a career path leading to retirement.

• Flexibility to manage life’s unexpected events (children’s appointments, quick errands, etc.).

• Opportunities to exceed expectations (e.g., one physician recently accompanied a diabetic patient to shop for healthier food options—true story!).

Who Will Excel in This Role

• Relationship-oriented, grounded, and empathetic.

• Seeking autonomy paired with accountability.

• Entrepreneurial-minded and enthusiastic about a growing practice model.

• Comfortable managing a smaller patient panel rather than a high volume.

• Flexible, collaborative, and confident in making independent decisions.

• Driven to help develop and expand a patient panel.

• Focused on purpose , not on productivity metrics.

This environment is not suited for those looking for minimal effort or a passive schedule. Physicians work diligently— just in a different way —with intention and purpose behind each interaction.

Position Highlights

• Compensation: Guaranteed base salary plus benefits, including health insurance, retirement plans, and all major perks.

• Full-time Schedule: Only 4 days per week in-clinic, with a half-day of virtual care on Fridays!

• Support Staff: Each physician is paired with a dedicated nurse and robust front office support.

• Procedures: Perform the procedures you are comfortable with!

• Virtual Care: Telehealth options available when clinically appropriate.

• Credentialing: Quick and efficient, with no insurance credentialing necessary.

Minimum Qualifications

• MD or DO with a minimum of 5 years of post-residency practice experience.

• Successful completion of a family medicine or similar residency program.

• Currently residing in the OKC or Tulsa metropolitan area.

• Demonstrated several years of continuous employment in the OKC area, with a portion of your panel willing to follow you.

• Must be willing to opt out of Medicare (a requirement for the DPC model).
