Direct Medical Service
Questions and Answers (Q & A)
Direct Medical Service is a personalized and humane healthcare model designed to give you immediate access to your doctor, eliminating insurance intermediaries that so often delay or complicate care.
This means that, from the very beginning, you will have more time with your doctor, better communication, and a relationship built on trust, where the most important thing is your health and well-being.
In this model, you pay directly for your consultation. We do not accept insurance for medical visits, and far from being a limitation, this represents a real advantage for you: no endless waits, no three-minute visits, no consultations where no one touches or listens to you. Here, medicine is practiced as it should be: with the time necessary to examine you, talk to you, and understand what is really wrong with you.
This is a place where you will feel important, listened to, and cared for with dedication, as is often remembered from the care provided in our countries: the doctor who examines you, who checks you calmly, who asks you questions, who explains things to you. It is not just a matter of requesting tests or images; it is about practicing a form of medicine that has not been lost, a form of medicine that respects closeness and humane treatment.
And even though the consultation is paid for directly, you can still use your health insurance to cover lab tests, imaging, medications, or referrals to specialists when needed.
Direct Medical Service is straightforward medicine, without barriers and without rushing. Care where you are not a number, but a person who deserves respect, quality, and warmth at every visit.
An internist has extensive training in all aspects of health, including the diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic diseases, preventive care, and the optimization of well-being.
