Dr. Julie Rietze and Lilac Direct Primary Care are joining the healthcare reform movement in offering an alternative to the traditional insurance-based healthcare system.
The current system often includes high costs, poor access, lack of transparency, and rushed appointments. As a result, it frequently leads to physician burnout and inadequate patient care.
Dr. Julie Rietze is the owner of Lilac Direct Primary Care, with over 17 years of experience in Family Medicine.
With Lilac DPC, you can count on:
Direct communication with Dr. Rietze
Access within 2 business days
Options for care including telemedicine
An affordable low monthly rate without high insurance copays
And above all, quality individualized care that doesn't feel rushed or impersonal!
Thank you for taking the time to listen to my health journey and for the great care. I look forward to working with you to optimize my healthspan! - LR
Julie Rietze, MD worked for 17 years as a Family Medicine provider in traditional insurance-based healthcare.
In that time, she was witness to the shift from building strong patient relationships to a corporate approach to medicine.
As a result, Dr. Rietze designed Lilac DPC to practice medicine in the way that inspired her to become a doctor.
With this model, she will be able to spend valuable time with her patients, while offering reasonable monthly rates.
The Direct Primary Care model brings back the simple and direct relationship between the primary care doctor and the patient.
The traditional model of primary care medicine involves billing insurance companies to abide by insurance regulations. As a result, decisions are made that are not necessarily in the patient’s best interest.
This means we do not accept or bill any insurance. Instead, patients pay Lilac DPC a monthly membership fee.
Membership includes extended time for office visits, discounted prices for lab and medication, and direct communication with Dr. Rietze.
