Direct primary care -- also known as DPC -- is an innovative approach to accessible healthcare. Under the direct care model, patients enjoy a more comprehensive and flexible wellness plan, complete with longer appointments, same-day and next-day visits, medicine on demand, and a tailored approach to providing whole-body healthcare. In short, dpc puts patients in charge of their care - not insurance companies or large-scale clinics.

Dr. Williams' offers in-person care in Prince George's, Howard, Montgomery, and Anne Arundel counties in Maryland. You may also get access via virtual visits by phone or video in DC, Maryland, and Virginia. If you're in our community, we'd love to meet you!

If you've ever encountered an urgent health problem on a holiday or after hours, you understand the stress of rushing to urgent care - or worse, the ER! Long wait times can make getting the care you need incredibly difficult. In addition, staff must get caught up on your health history and typically only treat the immediate concern without regard for underlying issues or big-picture concerns. For example, a patient who suddenly gets a bad cold may be especially concerned due to underlying diabetes and blood pressure issues and be unsure of what medications are safe for them. They may hesitate to explain their situation to a large urgent care facility and struggle with long wait times.

With a DPC model, your on-call doctor is available when and where you need them. Dr. Williams knows your history as well as, if not better than, your primary care physician due to the direct patient-doctor relationship and can quickly identify big-picture concerns. When it comes to preventative medicine, an on-call doctor is the best way to invest in your long-term health and wellness as you continue to thrive.

We offer phone, text, email, and, of course, video calls as part of our robust telehealth practice.

No, our direct care practice operates as a no-insurance healthcare model via a membership plan. Our patients are so much more than a premium or a deductible. They are members of our community.

Absolutely! We welcome uninsured members as well as members of all circumstances. Many members prefer a direct care and direct payment approach to save on premiums, skip the pre-authorization, and feel more in charge of their wellness. We strongly encourage patients to consider having a traditional insurance plan with a high deductible or health sharing plan to cover healthcare costs not part of their regular primary care services such as hospitalizations, emergency care, or specialist care.

Dr. Williams provides compassionate, empathetic care from nine years old to adult.

Unlike traditional insurance-based practices, your membership with Dr. Williams on Call can be customized to best support your wellness needs. Learn more about the different membership tiers by exploring our pricing page.

We understand that accessibility is often a barrier to leading a healthy lifestyle. As an on-call doctor, Dr. Williams proudly provides telehealth services to meet her patients exactly where they are, whether that's in the living room or the weight room. Virtual sessions are sensitive to physical limitations and abilities. These sessions may include meditation and wellness-focused fitness as well as more intensive home exercise regimens. Dr. Williams will work with you to provide suggestions for workout routines you can follow at home that do not require gym equipment. She will also develop a comprehensive plan with tools and resources to help you stay on track. Regular check-ins provide a kind, supportive environment to push you toward your goals.

The benefit of having accessible healthcare whenever and wherever you need it includes consistency in meeting your personal fitness goals. Most weight loss and wellness coaches are only available at your monthly session. Dr. Williams encourages her patients to get out there and stay active -- and this is a rule she follows too!

Whenever you need a coaching session, Dr. Williams is just a call away. Imagine one part doctor, one part personal trainer, and one part achievable goals, and you have the perfect image of what an on-call doctor and patient relationship looks like with our unique DPC service.

Unlike a standard personal trainer you may encounter at the gym, your on-call doctor knows your health and challenges. Dr. Williams can create a fitness plan that's tailored to your body type, lifestyle, and overall health rather than a cookie-cutter exercise routine. If you've been unsuccessful in fitness regimens in the past, don't get discouraged. It is very likely that those plans weren't designed for you and your body.

Learn how to nourish your body through a healthy diet that balances your hormones and health while working with your body rather than against it to support your strengths. A good fitness plan should be challenging, exciting, and achievable. We'll stick with you so you can stick to your goals and achieve your best fitness success ever.

Dr. Williams serves patients ages 9 to 65 and up. Each life stage is different and merits comprehensive care when it comes to maintaining physical fitness. Wellness plans are created with age, activity level, and lifestyle in mind so that each patient receives the care they need while preventing injury and over-exertion. A healthy lifestyle is a lifelong commitment. We're excited to be a part of your healthy routine!
