Direct Care Dermatology
A better Model for a better patient experience
WHAT IS DIRECT CARE
Healthcare the way it was meant to be
Direct Care Dermatology (DCD) — DPC applied to dermatology. No insurance billing, no middlemen, no rushed appointments.
Dr. Payne limits her panel to a small number of patients so she can give each one the time and attention they deserve. You’re not a chart number — you’re a patient she knows by name, skin history, and life story.
No
Surprise Billing
Transparent pricing allows for focus on skin and hair goals instead of worrying about surprise billing after your appointment.
30+
Minute Appointments
No rushing, no 10-minute limits — just thorough, thoughtful dermatological care.
