We are facing a health insurance crisis in this country. Many hard-working people are either uninsured, underinsured, or pay way too much for what they are getting. Not to mention, insurance company requirements have become prohibitively expensive for doctors, who must work longer hours to keep up with demands that have more to do with paperwork than patient care.

At Avalon Health, we are doing things differently. We're cutting out the insurance middleperson, and offering healthcare directly to the adult patient at an affordable cost. This model of health care is called "direct primary care." Direct primary care is a growing movement in response to our ineffectual health system. In this model, physicians and patients come together to decide what's best, without the intrusion of an insurance company. 

​

Here's how it works: the patient pays a monthly membership fee (or yearly fee) in exchange for high-quality patient care provided by Dr. Lavallée. That's it! No red-tape, no hassles, no paperwork. Direct primary care puts the focus back on the patient and their health and well-being — just as it should be.
