It's called Direct Primary Care. We love it, our current patients love it, and we think you'll love it to.
Here's the gist: we don't accept any insurance, and as a result you save money. Become a member of our practice for a low monthly fee, and get unlimited office visits, wholesale prices on prescription medication, your doctor's cell phone number, and a whole lot more.
Our commitment to you is to offer you personalized, compassionate healthcare for you and for every member of your Family. Led by Dr. Alfredo Ovalle, a dedicated and experienced family physician, Ovalle, M.D. is built on the principles of trust, care, and community. With a holistic approach to health, we strive to create a welcoming environment where you feel at home while receiving top-notch medical care.
Whether it’s a routine check-up (physical exam), managing chronic conditions (diabetes, high cholesterol), or addressing acute health concerns (flu, cough, knee pain), the Ovalle, M.D. team are here to support you and your Family on your journey to optimal health and wellness.
For decades, health insurance corporations like United Health have been growing more powerful and more profitable. How do they generate these profits? By taking in as much money as possible in premiums and paying out as little as possible in medical claims. Over time, they have tried everything from requiring. "prior authorization" of care, to excluding high-quality providers from their networks, to imposing a convoluted series of charges including ever-growing copays, coinsurance, and deductibles. When all else fails, many insurers simply deny claims.
Did you know, your OVALLE, M.D. can take care of up to 90% of your everyday healthcare needs?
OVALLE, M.D. does not participate with any insurance companies or government insurance for payments to the clinic. The insurance model perpetuates the “quick fix” approach, without allocating adequate time to determine the root cause of discomfort or disease and not allowing time to focus on prevention.
It is well known that medical expenses are the number one cause of bankruptcy in the United States. However, what people don’t realize is that 75% of those individuals actually did have some type of health insurance. Health insurance is the ONLY insurance that bankrupts folks when they use it.
Dr. Ovalle has very mindfully chosen the direct primary care payment system because he believes in making healthcare affordable and accessible to everyone. By cutting out the middlemen and remaining out-of-network, at OVALLE, M.D. we can collaborate with patients to make health decisions without interference from insurers.

We're a Direct Primary Care (DPC) practice. DPC is a unique approach to healthcare and our patients love it. So, how is it different?
Did you know that most Primary Care Providers have between 2,500-3,500 patients? We limit our practice to under 1,000 patients total. That means that your doctor spends more time with you when you need him. Plus, when he is not actively seeing a patient, he is able to help coordinate your care and research your treatments.
OVALLE, MD Family Medicine does not bill any insurance plans so you won’t have a middle-man in your primary care. Decisions about your healthcare will be made by you and your doctor without the impersonal management that comes from third-party payers. Instead, patients pay a monthly membership fee which can save money and covers excellent treatment. Give it a try, and you’ll quickly see for yourself the value of this approach!
Forget scheduling appointments weeks in advance. Typically you'll get a next-day appointment - and it'll be free.
Contact us whenever you want, however you want - email, text, in-person, even video chat. You're part of the family. You may also access this trusted site for additional medical and reference material from other Family Physicians.
We've negotiated wholesale rates on medication and lab tests, and we pass all those savings straight to you.
