We are beyond excited to announce that Ashley Girdler, DO is joining the practice!
She will be starting in the clinic on February 10 and will start with Meet & Greet visits for enrollment in her Direct Primary Care (DPC) practice.
One of my existing patients clued her in to my practice back in March, and Ashley approached me eager to hear about how I’ve implemented DPC. She learned that “Direct primary care brings the doctor-patient relationship back to the way it should be. I can practice medicine in a way that aligns with my morals and ethics; allowing me to provide the care that I feel is best for each individual without the oversight of administration or insurance companies limiting options and delaying care.”
She is someone who values the genuine patient-physician relationship and recognized that the traditional fee-for-service model of health care was not allowing her to practice the way she wanted to.
Now, she will “have the time to do what is so incredibly important in healing; time to listen . . . to not feel rushed and have the freedom to explore a patient’s symptoms in depth will give us the opportunity to discover diagnoses, educate so patients can be empowered to be in control of their own well-being.”
Ashley has taken great pride in her service to the Gig Harbor community, even within the constraints of the insurance-based model. Starting in February, she will be able to spread her proverbial wings to make an even greater impact on health care for the region, helping to advance the increasingly popular direct care model — the future of health care.
Please welcome me in inviting Ashley to Revitalize Metabolic Health, and please spread the word about her new role.
