About First Primary Care
There’s a (quiet) little-known revolution happening in the health care industry called Direct Primary Care. Hardly anyone is talking about it. But when you learn what it is, and then use it, you’ll see a huge difference in the quality, the convenience, and how much more affordable health care can be for you and your family.
Almost every dollar American families spend on health care goes through an insurance company disguised as premiums, deductibles, and co-pays. They force your doctor to bill the insurance company in order to get reimbursed for the services they perform. Services being billed at outrageously high “network” prices all prearranged by the insurance companies. First Primary Care is transforming how health care is offered in the United States by cutting out the insurance companies and partnering with consumers directly. It’s (finally) time to take control of your own health and your money.
Testimonials
I am so happy to be a patient of Dr. Goyal and his team. They make me feel valued and welcome and it’s a completely different experience from standard insurance based medical care. I love that they are so accessible to me. I’m just having to adjust my thinking since so many of the things I used to pay for out of pocket are included in my plan with them – what a welcome change!
Kim BalducciFirst Primary Care has provided consistent and high quality care from day one. The doctors listen to your concerns, ask questions, and make sure the underlying reasons for your concerns or symptoms are diagnosed and treated. They really care about the health and well-being of their patients – even after the appointment is over. They are readily available and make getting well and staying healthy more convenient than ever. Would highly recommend!
Sarah WellerNo BS, this is the real deal. These people know and love what they do. They treat me like family. I can always reach them. They are always responsive and take care of me, no matter if I’m at home or away on business. Their clinic is quaint and comfy. I trust them with my life and my health, you should too.
Mark FerrazWhile camping in Fredericksburg, Texas, over Valentines weekend, Dr. Goyal and First Primary Care was a lifesaver. By having First Primary Care on speed dial, I was able to avoid a 15 minute commute into downtown Fredericksburg and any additional waiting time to have access to a physician. In less than 5 minutes, after speaking with Dr. Goyal, I was able to pick up my medication at the nearest pharmacy and by Sunday morning, I was feeling much better. I am glad I found a doctor’s office that is worth keeping. THANK YOU DR. GOYAL!!!
