At GDPC, we practice a Glorified, Regenerative Approach to Celestial *Eudaimonia (good spirit, happiness, read more below). Our patient-centered philosophy emphasizes personalized care, deep connections with our team led by Tammy Frost, and a focus on holistic well-being. Membership-based, we offer unparalleled access to exceptional medical and preventive care tailored to individual needs to optimize overall health.
It is a Greek word that is difficult to translate into English, but the rough translation is “good spirit” in other words “happiness”. Aristotle believed it meant the highest human good-living well and doing well. It is associated with virtue. A literal view of eudaimonia is to be watched over by a benevolent deity of being fortunate and blessed. Hursthouse describes it as well-being, happiness, and flourishing. Our goal is for our patients to reach their eudaemonia!
Patients receive prompt primary care services from a dedicated Physician Assistant. Our model ensures convenient, efficient scheduling options making healthcare accessible and straightforward.
We offer almost-wholesale prices on lab tests and medications. Our direct communication model eliminates the middleman, providing care at a cost generally lower than most monthly cell phone or cable bills.
Say goodbye to long wait times, high copays, and rushed appointments. If you feel unheard and frustrated with the traditional biomedical culture, our optimized approach offers a refreshing alternative.
We practice an integrative primary care model, treating the whole person. Our extensive time with patients allows us to create treatment plans that optimize body, mind, and spirit.
Our holistic form of healthcare addresses the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual needs of our patients. This comprehensive care enhances health and wellness while treating and preventing acute and chronic illnesses.
We build strong relationships with our patients by spending 30-60 minutes in each visit. Unlike the conventional approach with brief, rushed visits, Direct Primary Care allows us to provide exceptional care without the constraints of insurance and bureaucracy, keeping you healthier and happier.
In 2008, I faced a life-threatening tragedy that most would not survive.
I have asked myself why my life was spared. I am convinced that there is considerable work to accomplish in the medical field, and my experiences, skills, desires, and accomplishments have molded me into an empathetic individual who will provide exceptional healthcare to those most in need wherever they may be. Since I was a young child, I have been blessed with the talents and experiences that have prepared me specifically for this mission. I graduated valedictorian from junior high, high school, and college with a 3.97 GPA, and I have devoted my entire life to helping others. I began to realize how committed I was to the well-being of others, especially those who are in greatest need, during my work in home healthcare. I enjoyed this work tremendously, and I wanted to help many others in the same way. I was, therefore, compelled to continue my education and went back to school to become a Physician Assistant.
I am devoted to serving those most in need living in rural communities as a Family Medicine Physician Assistant. People who live in underserved communities often do not receive the proper medical attention and can suffer needlessly, and I am determined to personally make a difference in these communities because as Lucius Annaeus Seneca once said, “A man who suffers before it is necessary, suffers more than is necessary”.
Anyone who lives in an area without adequate healthcare choices suffers, and I know this firsthand as my father’s last days on earth were unnecessarily filled with pain and suffering which could have been alleviated altogether had there been adequate healthcare available in his small, isolated community in Beaver Dam, Arizona, a community with less than 1,000 people.
If there was sufficient healthcare available, a simple blood test could have detected his decreased kidney function early on perhaps preventing and most likely delaying the kidney failure he ultimately endured. After his diagnosis, he was forced to relocate to Phoenix, AZ, to get the services required. His need was great, and I believe those who are suffering the most require the most care. Regrettably, he only survived a year because relocating was extremely difficult for him. Because I want to prevent this unfortunate outcome from happening to others, I am committed to helping all those who need affordable healthcare in rural communities. I want to embody this objective to save lives and diminish suffering by providing proper medical attention to those living in such communities.
We would love to speak with you.
