Tired of Waiting?
The waiting room of a doctor’s office can be a crowded, uncomfortable place to spend your day. However, at Trinity Direct Primary Care our waiting room rarely gets used. Office visits are scheduled so that patients have at least 30 minutes of time with the physician and we keep our patient panels small. This means […]

Have you ever been frustrated by high health care bills even when you have insurance? Isn’t your insurance company supposed to be helping LOWER your bills? Well, unfortunately, the answer is no.

Just One Eye by Dr Rob Lamberts
“Don’t worry, doc. It’s just one eye. I’ve got two.” My stomach lurched to hear this statement. A guy who has done nothing wrong aside from choosing self-employment (and perhaps inheriting less-than-stellar genes) is left with the choice: financial devastation or blindness in one eye.
