Primary Health Partners

Contact:
Dr. Robert Lockwood 1820 Commons Circle Suite A Yukon, OK 73099 405-265-2778 (Office #) www.primaryhealth.partners/ Direct primary care is a healthcare model focused on putting the patient first. That means treating them when they need it, never rushing patients through appointments, and being proactive with healthcare treatment plans.
The doctor-patient relationship is just as the name suggests – direct. |
Direct primary care clinics don’t accept insurance, rather they choose to work directly with the patient, providing wholesale labs and prescription prices along the way.
Primary Health Partners offer patients the opportunity for further healthcare savings by offering to pass on our wholesale pricing on prescriptions and labs. These are a service and not profit centers.
Time is the biggest commodity gained in DPC by limiting the patient panels. We take care of only about a third the number of patients that are in a traditional practice so less visits and more time per visit.
