Hello neighbors! I want to spread the word that I am opening my Direct Primary Care practice at the Nuin Center (5655 Bryant Street in Highland Park) on September 16th. I have attached some FAQ’s about the practice below if you are interested and am more than happy to answer any questions you may have. As a family medicine physician, I see all ages and stages. With direct primary care, I don’t involve insurance, which allows me to see anybody regardless of insurance status. Please feel free to reach me via text/call/email. I am so thrilled to be the new Family doc in the community and look forward to meeting you all! Natalie Gentile, MD Gentile Family Direct Primary Care, LLC Find us!

Direct Primary Care is a growing type of medical practice that eliminates third parties like insurance companies and Medicare, in order to provide affordable, convenient, high quality medical care directly to patients. IS DPC HEALTH INSURANCE? No. We still recommend that all patients obtain a high-deductible “catastrophic” health insurance policy for emergencies like hospitalizations.
