Botulinum toxin, or Botox, helps to reduce and prevent facial wrinkles by blocking the motion of the muscles that cause them. Facial wrinkles are caused by skin creasing from the repeated motion of the muscles under the skin. By temporarily blocking that motion, Botox improves and prevents skin wrinkles and creases.

Direct Primary Care is a model for healthcare that removes the insurance companies as middle men between you and your doctor. Direct Primary Care patients typically pay an affordable monthly membership fee in exchange for nearly unlimited access directly to their doctor. In traditional family medicine and primary care offices, doctors MUST force their patients to come into the office in order to get paid by the insurance company. Patients often have to pay copays PLUS coinsurance for every office visit, extra charges for tests and procedures, and highly inflated lab prices. They then have to pay marked up retail prices on their medications at the pharmacy. If their deductible hasn't been met, all these expenses come out of pocket! Direct Primary Care patients typically enjoy unlimited office visits, telemed visits, phone calls, and texts directly with their doctor. There are no copays, coinsurance, or deductibles, no confusing lab or procedure bills, and most medications can be dispensed directly by the doctor at wholesale cost, potentially saving hundreds of dollars per year. In addition, traditional insurance-based doctors carry 2,000-3,000 patients and see 25-30 patients daily. This means patients must wait in waiting rooms, sometimes for an hour or more, only to see their doctor for 6-8 minutes. Direct Primary Care doctors carry only 400-600 patients, see 5-6 patients daily, and can spend 30 minutes to an hour with each patient, fully addressing their concerns. Patients of traditional practices often have to wait weeks to see their doctor, which means more urgent care or emergency department visits. Direct Primary Care patients seldom wait at all for their appointments, and most appointments can be made same day or next day.
No. At Auburn Direct Primary Care, we don’t deal with insurance at all. This means we remove the middle men and put our patients in a direct relationship with their doctor. All of our services are covered by our affordable monthly membership fee, so there are never any copays, deductibles, or confusing bills. Send out labs and medications are offered at cost, potentially saving hundreds of dollars per year over traditional insurance-based practices. However, if a patient wants to use their insurance for labs we send out or medicines at a pharmacy, they can! The lab or pharmacy can bill their insurance directly.
Yes! It’s a great idea to have a high deductible, lower cost insurance policy to cover unexpected large medical expenses like ER visits or hospital admissions. However, you wouldn’t use your car insurance to pay for an oil change or your homeowners insurance to pay for a leaky faucet. So it doesn’t make sense to use health insurance to pay for primary care! That’s one of the reasons health insurance is so expensive these days. At ADPC, if you have insurance, that’s fine! We just don’t bill it, and all of our services are covered by your membership fee.
Yes! We accept patients with Medicare or any other insurance. We just don't bill it! You still keep your Medicare and can use it for other services, like specialist visits or prescription medicines at a retail pharmacy. All of our services at ADPC are covered by your monthly membership!
We partner with local imaging centers to get our patients the most affordable cash prices possible for these services, and we can usually get these done same day or next day when needed. However, if you have insurance and want to use it for imaging, that’s fine! We order the test, and the imaging center bills your insurance for it.
At ADPC, we believe that there should be a relationship between doctor and patient. We get to know our patients and their needs so that we can fully serve them and help them achieve and maintain a healthy lifestyle. We don’t want to operate like an urgent care, where the doctor doesn’t know the patient and can’t follow up to make sure their problem has been solved. Just like a gym membership, even if you don’t go every day, you maintain the monthly membership so that you have access whenever you need it, and the facility is always ready for you. At ADPC, we are always ready for our patients, and we provide a level of service and access that simply won’t be found in the insurance-based healthcare world. That’s why all of our patients enroll in practice membership and enjoy the full benefits of what we have to offer.
No! Patients enrolling for the first time pay no enrollment fee. The first month’s membership is due upon enrollment, then membership is billed monthly on the 1st of each month. For patients who cancel membership and then wish to re-enroll later, there is a $250 re-enrollment fee. This is in place simply to discourage patients from using our services once, then leaving and not returning until they have another urgent need. We don’t want to operate like an urgent care, where the doctor doesn’t know the patient and can’t follow up to make sure all their needs have been met. We believe a patient should have a relationship with their doctor, and that’s exactly what we provide at ADPC!
We work with local specialists to get the best cash prices possible for our patients. However, patients who have insurance are more than welcome to use that at their specialist’s office. That being said, at ADPC, Dr. Adams is able to spend so much more time both directly with our patients and afterwards researching their problems and needs that we refer to specialists much less frequently than many other primary care providers. The vast majority of medical needs can be handled by Dr. Adams in house, and referral to a specialist is usually a last resort.
Yes! All ADPC patients receive Dr. Adams’s direct phone number and may call, text, email, or request a telemed visit any time. We all respect each other’s time, so we ask that any non-urgent needs wait until business hours, but Dr. Adams is available after hours and on weekends for urgent needs or questions! This can prevent hundreds or thousands of dollars wasted on urgent care or ER visits, and our patients get to communicate directly with THEIR doctor, who they know and trust.
No. Concierge doctors typically charge a high yearly fee (usually $1500-$2000), plus bill insurance and charge copays for visits. In exchange for the big fees, patients get enhanced access to their doctor and more personalized care. Direct Primary Care, on the other hand, offers the same enhanced access and care, all for an affordable monthly fee, with no copays for visits. Direct Primary Care patients get elite, concierge-level service at a price that almost anyone can afford!
