Vancouver Direct Primary Care - Vancouver (WA)

5 /5 Anita Reyes: Meeting with Ed Kaufman was quite nice. He explained the group program thoroughly. We then went over my health history. He is an attentive listener and answered my concerns. The appointment was a positive experience.

5 /5 Taryn Letzring: Truly an incredible experience worth every penny. I’ve never felt more heard, seen, and cared for my a doctor. Morgan Powell actually took time to go through all my medical history, family history, concerns and come up with a treatment plan + tests that need to be done. I love their business model, and for someone like me that has health insurance - I don’t mind paying the monthly charge because everything else goes through my insurance (bloodwork, medications, etc). I have seen Dr. Powell 4 times in the last 2 months, 2 in person and 2 virtual and when I tell you I couldn’t get into a primary care doctor with my insurance for MONTHS it’s just totally unrealistic and frustrating. So the fact that I have been able to talk with my doctor 4 separate times and to actually do follow ups on medications and tests is truly unheard of and just incredibly appreciated. The whole staff there is friendly, welcoming, and have always made sure that I have exactly what I need. I cannot thank you enough for the opportunity, I will refer all my friends and family to you!

2 /5 Emily Cahill: Review: The positives: The monthly subscription model could work well for individuals with basic needs, such as managing medications or monitoring blood pressure. The negatives: The check-in process is highly public, compromising patient privacy as personal information is easily overheard. It’s also important to note that this is not a full-service primary care provider despite the monthly fee. Patients will likely face additional costs for services that require outside care, which is not made clear during enrollment. Furthermore, they do not offer refunds, even when the care they fail to provide was inadequately disclosed at sign-up. Overall, while this service might suffice for very limited needs or as a stopgap, its limitations make it less competitive compared to more comprehensive primary care options. It’s worth exploring other providers before committing to this model.

5 /5 Morrigan McIrvin: Ed is both knowledgeable and willing to look up things he doesn’t know as throughly. He takes time to explain why he suggests a certain kind of treatment and they really make you feel comfortable asking or explaining things to them and trusting when you’ve brought the data you’ve gathered yourself. It feels nice to be treated as a person and as a thinking individual.
