Access to your doctor should be simpler.

There is Hope

Welcome to Hope Health Direct Primary Care.

Now enrolling founding members. A free, no-pressure conversation with Dr. Punnoose, at no cost and no commitment.

At Hope Health DPC, the primary goal is accessible, relationship-centered primary care. It is old fashioned primary care with modern technology.

A different kind of doctor's office

If you've ever waited weeks for a rushed ten-minute appointment, you already know what's broken about healthcare today. Doctors in traditional practices often care for thousands of patients and spend much of their day on insurance paperwork instead of people.

Direct primary care (DPC) works differently. Instead of billing insurance for every visit, you become a member of the practice for a simple, flat monthly fee. That one change lets us keep our patient family small, so appointments are unhurried, easy to schedule, and often available the same or next day.

No copays at the door. No surprise bills for a visit. No wondering whether a quick question is "worth" an appointment. Just you and a doctor who has the time to listen.

Founder & Physician, Hope Health DPC

Becoming a doctor was a dream that started when I was four years old. Even then, I knew I wanted to help people feel better. After practicing medicine for more than a decade, that is still the goal.

Hope Health DPC was started out of a simple conviction: patients deserve a doctor who has time to know them, and doctors deserve the chance to practice medicine the way they were called to.
