DIRECT PRIMARY CARE DOCTOR IN PFLUGERVILLE
Better health outcomes.
Simple pricing.
Direct access to Dr. Khan with unrushed visits and tailored treatment plans.
So, what makes direct primary care so great?
Today’s typical healthcare experience is mostly cold and sterile, with long wait times and shorter visit times, and that’s after waiting 2 weeks to get an appointment! Often patients see many different doctors or are shuffled off to specialists. Because of this, we’ve seen a rise in conflicting diagnoses, prescriptions and often, poor health outcomes.
Direct care returns us to the medical practice of the past, back when your family doctor knew you, understood you and helped manage any medical challenges. They were available when you needed them. You could call them on the phone and they would answer.
That’s direct primary care.
*Direct Primary Care does not bill your health insurance.

FAQs

Do you offer virtual visits?
Yes, through our patient portal you can schedule an appointment for a secure Zoom (online video) visit.
Will I need to pay copays or deductibles?
Direct Primary care is not insurance. There are no copays or deductibles and we don’t accept or bill your insurance company.
Do I have access to special pricing on things like X-rays, MRIs, bloodwork, etc?
You can choose to use your private insurance to pay for services outside the scope of your membership, such as labs and imaging, and medications. However, if you decide to pay out-of-pocket for these services, they will be offered to you at our discounted rate.
If I need a specialist, can you refer me?
Yes, we will refer you when needed, and help coordinate care with your specialists and hospitalists.
Who is a good candidate for direct primary care?
DPC is the perfect option for;
- anyone 18 years of age or older
- those without health insurance but still need consistent, quality care
- anyone tired of the same healthcare experiences and is looking for a better doctor/patient relationship
- preventative care to stay healthy
- treatment of any acute medical condition (not life-threatening/non-emergent)
- treatment of any chronic medical condition (non-surgical, non-obstetrics)
Is direct primary care a form of insurance?
No. It is a monthly membership-based primary care. It’s recommended that you obtain health insurance to cover specialty care, major medical coverage, hospitalizations, ER visits, etc.
How are you able to spend extended time with your patients?
When billing insurance, everything about the doctor-patient care is managed, such as visit time, course of treatment, and even the number of concerns that doctors can address during a visit. It also has a higher overhead cost for the practice that needs to hire staff to handle insurance billing. This forces the physician to accept more patients and fit more visits into their schedule to fill the gap.
Remove the health insurance restrictions, and you’ll have the freedom to give better care and spend more time with your patient.
As a DPC physician, my initial visits with patients can be up to 60-90 minutes long, and each follow-up visit can be up to 45 minutes if needed, so the health concerns of my patients are addressed in a comprehensive way without needing to put them off to a future visit. Moreover, there are unlimited visits for the membership fee.
