Patient Education

Studies show that when patients are asked what they want from their doctor visits, their number one answer is personalized care and information. But this necessitates a patient-first mentality, which is sorely lacking in the traditional healthcare system. Forced to keep up with ever-increasing insurance company requirements, many physicians are left with precious little time to spend face-to-face with their patients, often leading to cookie-cutter diagnoses and trial-and-error treatment plans, with patient education usually falling to the wayside.

What’s more, personalized healthcare is a two-way street in which information must flow freely between patient and doctor. As privacy concerns continue to grow, some patients are understandably hesitant to open up to a doctor they don’t know well, mainly because they don’t know where that sensitive information might end up.

Direct Primary Care (DPC) Takes Patient Education to the Next Level

DPC is a fresh take on the traditional primary care delivery system. The DPC healthcare relationship is directly and solely between patient and doctor, and there is no need for either party to work through an impersonal insurance company. While the DPC model is “new” in some ways, it actually takes the practice of medicine back to its common-sense roots, when doctors had time to get to know their patients because they weren’t forced to practice medicine under the tight reins of insurers.

At Optimum Direct Care, a DPC practice in Orlando, FL, we always put our patients first. We also believe that – of all places – a doctor’s office should be a safe haven where people feel completely secure and comfortable. Our goal is to establish trusted doctor-patient relationships in which our patients feel that they can freely confide in our board-certified family practice physician, Dr. Toni “Muzzi” Muzzonigro. This allows us to provide fully personalized primary care services, including patient education on wide-ranging topics such as:

Conception
Breastfeeding
Pediatric safety
And more

“My husband and I were in search of a new physician when my neighbor mentioned that we should meet Dr Toni Muzzinigro who was a “Direct Primary Care” physician. We were not familiar with the term and were very intrigued. We made an initial appointment with her and learned so many things that we didn’t think existed anymore. Her main focus is on the patient and not the insurance companies! When she doesn’t have to worry about the bureaucracy and red tape of insurance companies, she has so much more time to listen to the patient and come up with a truly great level of care. The patient comes first and foremost. Our initial appointment was so thorough. She wanted to know every aspect of our past records. I felt like she really cared about us and her main goal was to keep us as healthy as possible. During our annual appointments, Dr. Muzzi schedules enough time to go over every concern you may have. Her explanations of test results are very thorough, and she is very knowledgeable of up to date medical breakthroughs. There have been some times during the year that we needed a doctor’s advice quickly. She is available to us basically 24/7. You can get in touch with her via phone, text, or video conferencing. Many things can be handled in a quick and timely manner. However, if there is a need to see her personally, getting in to see her doesn’t take weeks. Usually, you can make an appointment the very next day. How comforting is it to know that your doctor is always available to you and truly cares about your wellbeing! That is worth its weight in gold! Her staff are an added bonus! They run the office efficiently and take care of any other needs we may have. Another great advantage is that Dr. Muzzi has a network of specialists, labs, and resources available to us and at a discounted rate and free generic prescriptions. Personally, we like the fact that someone can help us navigate the medical system and direct us in the right direction. I simply can’t say enough. Dr. Muzzi has become our doctor as well as a good friend. She will always have our best interest at heart and her main goal is to provide the highest level of care. We are so thankful to have found Dr. Muzzi and Optimum Direct Care.”
