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

SHS Recruitment Partners

Are you a Family Medicine physician who wants to practice relationship-driven, meaningful medicine, without the pressure of high-volume scheduling, packed daily templates, or endless inbox messages?

Our physicians describe this role as fulfilling, balanced, relational, and a return to "old-school medicine with a small-town feel." This DPC practice features just eight one-hour patient appointment blocks per day, allowing you to practice the way medicine was meant to be practiced. Zero insurance billing. Zero bureaucracy. Only an incredible culture focused on providing the best patient care and outcomes possible!

What Makes This Practice Different

  • One-hour patient visits: Time to focus deeply on prevention, lifestyle, education, and relationship-building.

  • Smaller patient panels: Under 1,000 patients when fully built.

  • An *actual* work/life balance : Physicians report being home for dinner with the family every single day.

  • Direct patient communication: Only a handful of patient messages per day, not 60 - 80 found in a traditional PC setting.

  • Collaborative culture: All physicians and APPs communicate through an active, supportive "group chat" for quick clinical collaboration.

  • Exceptionally low turnover: No physicians have resigned from the organization in nearly 10 years!

  • Leadership that listens: Structured monthly and quarterly meetings, accessible executives, and ongoing investment in technology and operations.

  • Call : Light call for your own small panel; typically, a dozen or so messages per day, not traditional call coverage

  • Insurance Billing : NONE! Free from insurance bureaucracy and headaches!

Why This Model Works - Direct Primary Care allows physicians to:

  • Limit panel sizes and build real patient relationships

  • Spend time on preventative and lifestyle medicine

  • Enjoy work/life balance without sacrificing patient care

  • Improved health, lower stress, renewed passion for medicine, and a career they plan to stay in until retirement.

  • Flexibility to handle life's curveballs (kids' appointments, quick errands, etc.)

  • Opportunities to go above and beyond (e.g., one physician who recently met with her diabetic patient to shop for healthy groceries/identify healthier food choices - true story!)

Who Will Thrive Here - Ideal candidates are:

  • Relationship-driven, grounded, and compassionate

  • Interested in autonomy with accountability

  • Entrepreneurial-minded and excited about a growing practice model

  • Comfortable managing a smaller panel deeply, not high patient volume

  • Flexible, collaborative, and comfortable making independent decisions

  • Motivated to help build and grow a patient panel

  • Focused on purpose , not on productivity quotas

This environment is not ideal for someone seeking minimal work or a passive schedule. Physicians work hard - just differently - with time and purpose behind each encounter.

Position Highlights

  • Compensation : Guaranteed base plus benefits, including health insurance, retirement, and all major benefits

  • Fulltime Schedule : Just 4 days per week in-clinic , and 1/2 day virtual care on Fridays!

  • Support Staff: Each physician has one dedicated nurse + strong front office support

  • Procedures : Perform the procedures you feel comfortable with!

  • Virtual Care: Telehealth available when clinically appropriate

  • Credentialing : Lightning fast, with no insurance credentialing required

Minimum Qualifications

  • MD or DO with at least 5 years of post-residency practice experience

  • Successful completion of family medicine or similar residency program

  • Currently located in the OKC or Tulsa metro area

  • Demonstrate several years of continuous employment in the OKC area with some percentage of your panel willing to follow you

  • Must be willing to opt out of Medicare (required for the DPC model)
