Mary M. Paquette, MD

"I am a family physician with OB who has practiced in the St. Paul area since 1996. I joined AALFA Family Clinic in 2000. My husband and I work opposite days, so we may share in the care of our four children. I strive to provide the full range of family medicine, including obstetrics. My practice is particularly focused on the care of women and children. A significant portion of my practice focuses on infertility, recurring miscarriage, and abnormal cycle management."

"PrimaCare Direct is a health membership for primary care that allows you to pay one low monthly fee of $75 directly to the clinic of your choice for primary care access. The majority of medical needs are, typically, met through primary care visits. Your major medical plan is for the other healthcare services, hospital and specialty care, but is not needed for routine primary care.

PrimaCare Direct is a cooperative of clinics in Minnesota that want to lower the cost healthcare to the patient, while focusing on providing exceptional care centered around wellness. Traditional health insurance programs discourage doctor visits by adding extra costs to each visit (copays) or even accessing insurance altogether (deductibles). PrimaCare Direct encourages patients to visit their physician regularly and build a working relationship to achieve good health outcomes."
