She believes that things happen for a reason and that was so true the day she first learned about DPC.

​

Previously an employed physician, Dr. Concepcion handed in her 60 day notice in early July 2021 and will NEVER go back to fee for service insurance-driven "healthcare." Maryal is now the CEO/Boss Lady at Big Trees MD, a DPC in Calaveras County, CA. ​

​

Dr. Concepcion hopes that by interviewing different people at all stages of Direct Primary Care and Direct Care listeners can "meet" new people and feel the connection to the future of patient care: Direct Primary Care.

Direct Primary Care (DPC) provides direct access to a doctor a patient knows and trusts. It is accessible, more convenient and less expensive primary care, without the complicated bureaucracy of health insurance.

​

In this model, patients have more direct and personalized access to their doctor, and can schedule longer appointment times as needed. This allows for more comprehensive care and better communication between patients and their healthcare provider.
