General Info
At New Freedom Family Medicine, we are proud to take care of patients throughout their life. Also, we believe that primary care medicine is the foundation of good health and wellness. And the patient-doctor partnership is key to good care.
As a direct primary care (DPC) practice, we are dedicated to giving you the personal and affordable medical care you need without the bureaucracy of insurance. Our members pay a flat-rate fee, and we don’t bill insurance or Medicare. Even though we don’t bill insurance, we encourage patients to invest in some coverage in case of emergencies. And our program pairs nicely with any traditional insurance or cost-sharing insurance options. Plus, we work with members to make sure we use their benefits effectively.
No matter your coverage, the DPC model lets us offer a range of primary care services and much more. All for an affordable price!
Also, we are affiliated with DPC Direct which provides direct primary care members with low-cost medical sharing to protect them from emergency or unexpected medical bills.

High-Quality, Personalized Care
To provide the best care, we limit the number of members in our practice. And Dr. Allen works with highly skilled professionals like nurse practitioners and assistant physicians to extend your access to care. This approach ensures that our team has time to see you, talk to you, and listen to your concerns. Because every patient is different with individual needs, we believe in getting to know each person to give them the care they deserve. Also, Dr. Allen and the team are available by phone, text, email, or video chat after hours.
Extended, Relaxed Visits
Our office visits are longer than those of traditional medical practices. Averaging 30 minutes to 1 hour, we have the time to focus on performing our job and addressing your questions and concerns without rushing. Also, for homebound patients or for those who live in an assisted living/nursing home facility, we can arrange home or onsite visits when necessary.
Transparent Pricing
We believe that you deserve to know exactly how much it will cost to receive medical care. That's why we provide a price list, so you know what to expect. Most everything we do in the office is covered in the membership cost. However, when additional charges are needed (for labs, medications, and special procedures), we let you know pricing at the time of service or in advance. We also work hard to find the lowest costs for our members.
Coordinated Care
If you need to see a specialist or have tests or procedures that we are not able to provide, we help arrange referrals. And we always search for the best and most cost-effective solution to fit your needs. After making arrangements, we coordinate care with other providers for seamless care transition.
Specialized Procedures & Treatments
Over time we add to our services menu. Also, we offer medical procedures like vasectomies and treatments for joints, hair regrowth, healthy skin, and more at an affordable price than you may pay through traditional insurance.
Urgent Care
An urgent care clinic helps patients who need medical attention for non-emergency injuries or illnesses that cannot wait for an appointment with a primary care doctor. When you become a member of New Freedom Family Medicine, our DPC practice fulfills the role of the urgent care clinic. As a member, you have access to Dr. Allen and the team who already know you, your medical history, and the conditions you have in the past. Also, we can make recommendations more quickly than an urgent care doctor who has never seen you before. We provide treatment for many common, non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries, such as:
- Colds, flu, and COVID-19
- Coughs and sore throats
- Fever
- Headaches
- Earaches
- Urinary tract infections
- Wounds
- Lacerations
- Minor burns
- Sprains and strains
- Minor fractures
- Sports injuries
We also welcome non-members on a limited basis for urgent needs like suturing a wound. And we always provide pricing during the visit, so you know the cost.
Direct primary care (DPC) is an alternative healthcare model that separates primary care from traditional insurance. When you choose DPC, you pay a monthly membership fee (based on your age). Membership includes a wide range of primary care services as well as access to Dr. Allen and the team by phone, email, text, and video chat.
