As parents, we all want the best for our families, especially when it comes to healthcare. Navigating the traditional healthcare system can often feel overwhelming, with long wait times, rushed appointments, and the endless hassle of insurance. Fortunately, there’s a growing movement in healthcare that’s changing the game: Direct Primary Care.
What is Direct Primary Care?
Direct Primary Care (DPC) is healthcare that prioritizes the patient-doctor relationship by cutting out middlemen: insurance companies and other unnecessary third parties. Instead of dealing with co-pays, deductibles, and insurance approval, DPC operates on a simple membership model. For a flat monthly membership, you gain expanded access to a physician who can spend more time focusing on what truly matters: your family’s well-being.
The Benefits of DPC for Families
One of the most significant advantages of DPC is the personalized care it allows. With a different approach to care, DPC providers can offer longer, unhurried appointments that allow for more thorough evaluations and discussions. Whether you’re dealing with a chronic condition, have concerns about your child’s health, or need general preventative care, DPC ensures that you and your family get the attention and time you deserve.
Moreover, DPC practices often offer conveniences that are especially beneficial for busy parents. Imagine having the ability to text your doctor with a quick question, schedule same-day or next-day appointments, and even get urgent consultations over the weekend.
Choosing the Right DPC Practice for Your Family
When considering a DPC practice, it’s essential to find one that aligns with your family’s needs. Many DPC practices cater to all ages, providing pediatric care, yearly wellness exams, and even mental health support. Some practices offer additional services like vaccines and in-office procedures, making them the medical home for your entire family’s healthcare needs.

In 2016, Dr. Brandon Alleman and Dr. Nicholas Tomsen noted that most family medicine practices were designed to keep third parties like insurance companies satisfied at the expense of patient time and relationship with their doctor. To be able to provide truly excellent care, a new model was necessary and Antioch Med was born. Building their practice using the Direct Primary Care (DPC) model allowed Dr. Alleman and Dr. Tomsen to realign interests and restore the doctor-patient relationship that is so often missing in the traditional system.
Antioch Med has grown over time, but the goals have remained the same. Through innovation and a focus on relationships, Antioch Med has become the standard of excellence in primary care for the Wichita, KS region. We offer comprehensive, accessible, and affordable care for the whole family; including prenatal care and deliveries, well male and female visits, chronic condition management and same-day or next day appointments for urgent care.
