Lyman Wostrel, MD

"Dr. Lyman Wostrel is originally from a farm/ranch in Nebraska. He received Dual degrees from the University of Nebraska ages ago; one in Economics and the other in Finance. While receiving these degrees, he also wasted much time in Lincoln on his unfinished computer engineering degree. After university attempted to remove that good farm work ethic, he recovered, and went to work in the Stock Market for several years. His work in the stock market led him to, early on, learn about the revolution about to begin in fracking in the mid 2000s, so he left to make his fortune in the oil industry, first as an engineer and then supervisor. He then proceeded to prove his Econ and Finance degrees were worthless by attending medical school and ramen noodles were returned to his diet while inflated tuition emptied his bank account! After experiencing the horrors of modern medicine in Residency, both for patients and doctors; he and his wife moved to rural Mount Vernon to join the growing Direct Primary Care movement by starting Zion Asher Family Physicians. Dr. Lyman Wostrel longs for the day when you never get sick and nobody ever dies so that he can return to what he loved as a boy, mowing hay."

"Zion Asher Family Physicians is thinking different. We ask the simple questions and look for the obvious solutions. Why are patients waiting? Why are times spent with physicians so short that patients cannot even share their health concerns? Why are prescription prices high and why are patients using so many medications? Are doctor and patient payment methods actually encouraging health? The answers to these questions and the logical solutions have lead us to join the Direct Primary Care movement. By presenting a superior route to pay for health than insurace, we are freed from the constraints insurance puts on primary care. This returns the health decision making to you. Direct Primary Care is not a solution to all your health needs. But, when combined with other solutions like Christian Health Sharing, Employer Owned Self Insurance funds, or Catastrophic Coverage, it is a superior healthcare solution. The ultimate result of Direct Primary Care is better healthcare AND lower costs!"
