David J. Perez, MD, FAAFP

"Having been born, raised and meeting my wife in Puerto Rico, it was a natural transition to stay and train in our native island at a Loma Linda affiliated hospital called Bella Vista. After completing Family Medicine residency, we moved to Illinois to complete a post-graduate fellowship in Geriatric Medicine at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Soon after, I became Associate Medical Director of Hospice and Palliative Care with a national hospice organization and managed their Chicagoland inpatient hospice unit. I held this position until we moved to California. Before Premier Direct Care, I was employed by a Medicare HMO subcontractor in the Coachella Valley. In my experience, I have learned that the healing Patient-Doctor relationship needs to be center stage in Medical Care. I believe Premier Direct Care can accomplish this and I invite you to come see for yourself. Welcome to the first Direct Primary Care practice in the Coachella Valley."

"WHAT WE BELIEVE - We believe that when a physician is given the time to focus on caring for his patients a healing relationship can develop. Our goal is to create an environment in which the doctor and patient relationship can flourish.

OUR MISSION - To provide accessible, affordable primary care medicine in a deeply personal and private manner.

ACCESSIBLE - We provide same day, next day unhurried appointments in our office. You can communicate with our Doctor by secure text, telephone or email. If you are unable to come to the office, due to illness, we can make arrangements for a home or nursing home visit.

AFFORDABLE - With your monthly membership, which costs similar to your cable/internet bill, you can enjoy the benefits of having your own personal doctor. You will also have access to discounted medications, laboratory tests and imaging which we have negotiated on your behalf.

PERSONAL - We think that healthcare decisions should be between you and your doctor and tailored personally to you.

PRIVACY - We understand that healthcare should be a private dialogue between you and your doctor. Our practice is designed with this in mind."
