Direct Primary Care, or DPC, is a model of healthcare that puts patients first by getting

rid of the red tape by which most other traditional practices are restricted.

Stanford Clinic is Leakesville and Lucedale’s first Direct Care practice. We offer a

pattern of family healthcare that is immediate, thorough, comprehensive, specific, easily

affordable, and very, very personal.

The terms are often used interchangeably and essentially refer to the same principles.

Direct Primary Care is a healthcare model focused on putting the patient first. That

means treating them when they need it, never rushing patients through appointments,

and being proactive with healthcare treatment plans. The doctor-patient relationship is

just as the name suggests – direct. Direct Primary Care clinics don’t accept insurance,

rather they choose to work directly with the patient, providing wholesale labs, deeply

discounted prescription prices, and other costs savings along the way.

We have cut the red tape of bureaucracy. The restrictions that typically leave physicians

in a traditional healthcare setting buried in nonsense paperwork are lifted through Direct

Care, allowing us to spend our time where it really counts: with patients. In refusing to

recognize any interference with the sanctity of the patient-physician relationship, we

have returned family practice medicine to its root values of clinical excellence for and

compassionate knowledge of every patient. In every aspect of family healthcare, and

custom healthcare, we promise accessibility, convenience, and affordability.

Of course. We might argue that everyone benefits from a service tailored directly to

them. That’s why we offer truly custom healthcare. Our practice is devoted to the

maintenance of your good health, to the enhancements of your daily experience that

only physical well-being can bring. We’re here for your reactive needs, but proactive

healthcare is important, and we’re here for that too.

At Stanford Clinic, we have the gift of time. Even better? We get to give the gift of time.

Large amounts of precious, irretrievable time given to you as you wish. Every visit, for

whatever reason, will be easygoing in its absolute thoroughness, relaxed in answering

your questions and addressing the need of the moment. Then, as the months and years

go by, we’ll build a comprehensive, intimate knowledge of your health, invaluable

understanding available in no other regimen of care.

By all means, yes! Because illness and injury do not respect regular office hours, you

may call your physician's phone any day, at any hour. We invite you to arrange for home visits,

schedules permitting. If you prefer, you may also use our secure patient portal to access

your medical record and then e-mail your physician.

Naturally we provide such care – yet another freedom we enjoy together as a result of

Stanford Clinic’s independence from the restrictions of third-party payment. Because we

know you well, we can streamline your care when you’re sick away from home. Many

illnesses can be diagnosed and treated with a simple conversation by phone, email, text

or webcam. We’ll locate the nearest pharmacy and order the medications most

appropriate for your circumstances.

Come get to know us! Schedule a free, unconditional visit to discuss your healthcare

needs. It’s the only reasonable way to begin what we trust will be a long, productive, and healthy relationship.
