Doctor Details:

I opened Health Connections Direct Primary Care in 2017 so that I could spend the time with patients that they need.

By scheduling 30 minutes for visits, I am able to better understand what patients need to improve their health and have the time to better work with them towards their health goals. 

I believe in the mind-body connection and feel that it is important to talk with patients about their mental and spiritual health as well as their physical health. I take a collaborative approach with other medical professionals and I am comfortable working with patients who include other treatment modalities such as chiropractic care, acupuncture, diet and exercise, massage and essential oils.

I speak Spanish as a second language - I learned it back when I was an exchange student to Ecuador back in 1988.  I enjoy kayaking, swimming, listening to music and spending time with my family and dog. I love trying different things and have gone backpacking in the Smokies, canoe camping in the Boundary Waters and scuba diving in Florida. I encourage people to stay physically active and explore the world around them – no matter what their size is, while they work towards improving their health.

Clinic Details:
We offer primary care and immigration exams in Spanish and English so that people are able to improve their health - irregardless of their immigration or insurance status or English ability. 
 
We specialize in working with adults on preventative care as well as on chronic health issues such as diabetes, hypertension and obesity.  With longer visits, we are able to help patients discover what they can do to improve their health by addressing other factors such as nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress, unhealthy substance use and not just prescribing a medicine. 
 
We are a small office - on purpose - we want to know our patients so that we can better meet their needs and provide better care. 
 
Direct Primary Care is similar to concierge medicine, but at just $95 a month and no co-pays or per visit charges, it is accessible to many people. Our patients have access to cash price labs that are generally $10-$20 and our adult patients who don't have insurance are able to get vaccines for less than $20 each. 
 
Patients have minimal wait in the waiting room - and we can usually get patients in the same or next business day for sick visits. We are able to provide telehealth primary care visits for patients in Ohio and Kentucky to maximize your convenience. 
 
Conveniently located near the Turfway Exit in Northern Kentucky, we centrally located.

Overall, a fantastic experience.
I was quite pleased with my visit. During my examination, Dr. Villacis described each process. She had printouts ready with addresses and directions to where I needed to go when I needed to perform lab work. Overall, a fantastic experience.

How do I know this Physician?

"I have been a patient of Dr. Villacis for more than 4 years. It is refreshing to find a doctor who cares so much about my heath and overall wellbeing. She takes the time to find out how I'm doing and I never feel rushed when I talk to her. She is without a doubt the best doctor I've had in my adult life!"

How do I know this Physician?

I can’t say enough about Dr. Villacis. From the first visit she took the time to listen and understand, that has carried through ever since. I’ve had to hound previous doctors because they didn’t follow through or didn’t trust my instincts about my own body. Dr. Villacis is completely different in all of the best ways.
I never feel rushed or like she has some place else she would rather be. She doesn’t hastily make a diagnosis or write a RX. She took the time to explain her fee schedule, which no one has ever done. When I did need a prescription, she took the time to find the least expensive option for me. I didn’t even have to ask.
I also appreciate that she has worked with people of so many different walks of life. There’s never fear that she will judge or be condescending. Her heart is for her patients and it is obvious in the way she runs her practice.
