🌙 Why am I standing outside the clinic on a Saturday night?
Because one of my Lionheart families needed me.
Here’s how it went down:
Mom texted me directly through our app and sent a video. The issue was evident — and I knew that without intervention, this child would likely end up in the ER.
We discussed a couple of safe, reasonable things to try at home first. When it was clear we needed more, we met at the office.
We tested for a few things.
We gave a couple of medications.
From first text to leaving our office? Under 90 minutes. ⏱️
Cost? $28 for the medications.
The visit? Included.
After-hours messaging directly with her child’s doctor? Included.
Testing? Included.
Now contrast that with a typical Saturday night issue:
• Call an after-hours service line → “Go to the ER.”
• Sit in a waiting room for hours with a sick child.
• Leave with a bill that can easily run into the thousands.
This isn’t about criticizing ERs — they are essential and lifesaving.
It’s about having another layer of care. A pediatrician who knows your child. Who can triage in real time. Who can step in early when appropriate.
Direct Primary Care means access.
It means continuity.
It means options before panic sets in.
In the few months we’ve been open, we’ve already had several moments like this — quiet saves. They may go unnoticed by many, but not by the families involved. And that’s what matters.
Every single one reinforces exactly why we do this. 🦁💛
It’s healthcare made simple - the way healthcare should be.
