Efe Sahinoglu, MD

"Efe Sahinoglu, MD, is a full board certified family medicine physician. He is from Montgomery, Alabama. He attended Auburn University (Auburn, Alabama) where he finished his bachelor’s in chemical engineering with honors, and worked as an engineer before attending medical school at the University of Alabama School of Medicine. He received his third and fourth years of clinical education from the Medical School’s main campus in Birmingham. Afterwards Dr. Sahinoglu completed his family medicine residency at University of Alabama Family Medicine Residency Program. Having spent the past 20 years in Alabama, Dr. Sahinoglu wanted to stay in Alabama and serve its residents. As he was introduced to the direct primary care model of practice in his last year of training, he realized this model would allow him to provide quality primary care the way he always envisioned. This included more time with patients without limitations or interferences on patient care dictated by insurance. In Fall of 2018, he founded Birmingham Direct Primary Care in order to provide the type of primary care he envisioned to the Greater Birmingham Area. Dr. Sahinoglu truly believes that primary care should be individualized, comprehensive, unrushed, easily accessible yet affordable."

"Birmingham Direct Primary Care is a family medicine clinic that uses the direct primary care model, which puts patients first by removing insurance between the primary care physician and the patient. This membership based medicine model allows our clinic to provide better, personalized care for the patient by allowing the physician to focus on the patient and not on charts or insurance codes. In other words, the primary care service we provide is not dictated by insurance. Instead our physician specializes in providing personal, comprehensive and accessible care to his patients when they need it. Just like how it was in the old days."
