About the Book

The Official Guide to Starting Your Own Direct Primary Care Practice has now been updated for 2021!

New Topics include: Creating a Sales Funnel, Saving for Retirement, Selling Your Practice, and much more.

Being a family doctor isn't easy. Why? Because you're either an employed physician or a doctor trying to survive on your own. Both are making doctors quit their profession every day. You have heard about direct primary care as an option, but you have been bombarded with misleading advertising, confusing recommendations, and bad information from those who fear taking the leap. This makes you question yourself every day. Do you really want to become a DPC doctor? If you do, how do you go about doing it? You start by reading The Official Guide to Starting Your Direct Primary Care Practice. In this fact-filled book, you'll discover how to avoid the common pitfalls, the top tips to market your practice, how to make patient experiences great and much more.

"In this book Dr. Douglas Farrago provides thorough and clear guidance for any physician considering the Direct Primary Care route. Readers will learn if the transition to DPC is right for them, how to go about establishing and maintaining their new practice, and what to expect along the way. Dr. Farrago provides a lively and frank discussion of the entire process, providing the reader with concrete steps to take and realistic expectations about the excitement and challenges involved. He is an innovative and pragmatic physician and businessman, and he has instilled this book with his wisdom, personal experience and his ever-present sense of humor."
    Lily Hargrove, MD Ivy Family Medicine Charlottesville, Virginia
