What is Direct Primary Care?
Direct Primary Care (DPC) offers a refreshing approach to healthcare, focused on restoring the direct relationship between you and your doctor.
DPC is a simple membership-based model where you pay an affordable monthly fee for comprehensive primary care services.
By removing administrative overhead and insurance-driven limitations, DPC allows your doctor to spend more time focused on what matters most—your health.

What our patients are saying:
“When Dr. Allen left her old practice I literally cried because I didn't want a different doctor. I am so grateful to still be her patient, especially at Mountain Roots. When was the last time you called to schedule a doctor's appointment and the actual doctor answered the phone, AND you didn't feel rushed to end the call? That's what you get with this practice. No waiting indefinitely on the phone, in waiting rooms, and in cold, lifeless exam rooms. No feeling like you're part of a medical assembly line. Instead, you get a doctor who cares about taking care of you as a whole person, not just a set of symptoms, and who actually has time to do so properly. I could not recommend Dr. Allen and Mountain Roots Direct Primary Care more highly. If you're on the fence, just go for it and see what you've been missing.”
“I had my first appointment with Dr Allen. She spent a full hour with me going over my labs, answering questions, and addressing concerns. I’m so glad that I found Dr Allen and Mountain Roots. I haven’t had a doctor be so attentive and caring in years. I’m impressed that she personally answers my emails. Also, for our community to have a direct pay option is outstanding!! I am self employed and health insurance premiums have gone through the roof!! At a time when healthcare has become so impersonal, I feel this practice is restoring what once mattered most.”
