Laura C. Knobel, MD, LLC

"Our practice will be different from the norm. We are using an alternative type of health care delivery called “Direct Primary Care”. It is a way to take the insurance companies and the federal government out of the patient-physician relationship. First, and foremost, it is NOT a form of insurance and it is NOT a concierge practice. In a Direct Primary Care Practice, the patient pays a low monthly fee for the services offered by the physician in her office. As we are not billing insurances or Medicare, there are no co-payments or deductibles required, and we determine what services are included, not the insurance company. Our in-office blood work is included, as are certain vaccines. Direct Primary Care allows us to spend more time with you, the patient, as we have eliminated the hassles of dealing with the insurance companies. We can still order your medications, lab and radiology studies, as well as connect you to the specialists you see when you need them."
