Great job by Jeffrey Gold, MD at Gold Direct Care. The article about him and DPC from Nerdwallet is being spread nationally. Here are the opening quotes:
Sandy Thompson stopped working and qualified for Medicare based on disability at age 47 because of, as she puts it, “so many complicated [health] issues.” Now 61 years old, she’s been on Medicare Part A since then, and she started Medicare Part B in April when her husband retired.
Thompson’s doctor is an hour away from her home in Waltham, Massachusetts, and he doesn’t accept Medicare. But when she describes the situation as “great” and “convenient,” she’s not being sarcastic.
“I feel spoiled,” Thompson says about her health care from Dr. Jeffrey Gold, who opened a direct primary care practice in 2015. He offers long appointments and guaranteed next-day scheduling, but he doesn’t bill insurance. Instead, his patients pay a subscription fee that covers his practice’s services.
“I feel like he knows her,” says Audra Snow, Sandy’s daughter, who goes with her mother to appointments. Snow says that Dr. Gold knows her mother’s health history, whereas other doctors are typically running in and out without much follow-up.

I thought the article was very fair and it is a GREAT MARKETING piece for you to use to get Medicare patients. Thanks, Dr. Gold!!!
