What changes when a doctor has more time to listen?

Justin Voris, M.D., says he used to see 20 to 30 patients a day. At his Direct Primary Care practice, a busy day is about 10 patients. That gives him more time to hear their concerns and talk with their families.

“I learn new stuff about people all the time. People I’ve known for like 10 years.”

What does access to care mean to Justin Voris, M.D.? Being able to see your doctor when you need to.

In his former practice, Dr. Voris had more than 3,000 patients. Some waited months for an appointment. He wanted more time to care for them when they were sick and to get to know them as people.
“I wanted them to be able to see me whenever they were sick.”

What will your care cost? Justin Voris, M.D., believes patients should know before they say yes.

At his Direct Primary Care practice, Dr. Voris tells patients the price up front. He recalls patients bringing him $3,500 bills for four basic lab tests. He says those same tests cost his practice less than $60 to run.

“You know everything, what it’s going to cost before you said yes.”

Justin Voris, M.D., went to medical school to care for people, not fight insurance companies.

His experience in traditional medicine led him to create Core Health, a Direct Primary Care practice built on honest prices, clear answers, and strong relationships with patients.

Dr. Voris says leaving the traditional system changed how he practices medicine: “I feel like I escaped prison. I don’t miss the old system whatsoever.”

We're ONE!

It's been an incredible year of building something different: unhurried visits, same/next-day access for urgent matters, and transparent care built around YOU instead of a claims code or metrics. Starting a practice from scratch (outside the traditional insurance model) comes with real challenges for sure, but it's also been a very rewarding year that didn't just happen because of one person.

Thank you to every individual and family who took a chance on Direct Primary Care, and to the business partners who trusted us with their employees' health. None of it happens without the people who believed in a better way to practice medicine. You didn't just join a practice, you helped build one.

Here's to year two, and to more people discovering what healthcare feels like when someone actually has time for you. We're in this together! Greater things to come.

I wish you could hear the pause on the other end of the line.
“Wait… this is Dr. Voris? The actual doctor?”

Yes. It is.

I can’t tell you how many times someone is completely shocked that the doctor is the one answering the phone or returning a call. And every time, it reminds me just how far we drifted from what medicine is supposed to feel like.

For more than 10 years in the traditional system, I simply didn’t have the time. The schedule was full. The inbox was never ending. The pace was relentless. Phone calls were triaged, filtered, delegated - not because I didn’t care, but because there weren’t enough hours in the day.

Direct Primary Care changed that.

With a smaller patient panel, I actually have margin again. Margin to call someone back. Margin to check in. Margin to have a real conversation instead of a rushed exchange between exam rooms.

Do I delegate some things? Of course. Team-based care matters, but the difference is this: I can call. I do call. When it makes sense for me to be the one on the other end, I’m available.

That availability restores something important - not just for patients, but for me.

It allows me to be a doctor again.
It allows me to feel human again.
It allows me to be a better husband / father.

Honestly, it shouldn’t be surprising when a physician calls their patient.
But here we are…

If you’ve ever been shocked that your doctor answered the phone or returned your call… maybe it’s time we rethink your model.
