In today's fast-paced world, traditional healthcare can often leave patients feeling rushed, frustrated, and underserved. Appointments are brief, and it’s easy to feel like just another name on the schedule. But what if there was a better way to receive the care you deserve? Direct Primary Care (DPC) is revolutionizing healthcare, offering patients more time, attention, and access—without the hassle of insurance.

At ON Care, founded by Dr. Alexandra Nevett, we bring this refreshing approach to healthcare to residents of Southwest Ranches, Weston, Davie, and Pembroke Pines. Our mission? To provide personalized, comprehensive care that is tailored to your unique needs.


What Makes DPC Different?


Imagine this: You have 24/7 access to your doctor, longer, more in-depth appointments where your concerns are truly heard, and the ability to schedule same- or next-day visits without worrying about copays or deductibles. At ON Care, this isn’t just a dream—it’s the reality we offer our members.


But if you’re unfamiliar with the DPC model, you might wonder why you should pay for something that’s often “covered” by insurance. Here’s the key difference: Incentives in a traditional insurance-based system work against the personalized care you deserve.


Insurance Model Incentives


In the insurance-driven healthcare system, doctors are typically incentivized to see as many patients as possible. Why? The system is built around fee-for-service billing, meaning physicians are paid based on the number of procedures or visits—not the quality of care. This structure often leads to shorter appointment times, rushed visits, and a focus on volume rather than meaningful patient relationships. Doctors, burdened by paperwork and administrative tasks, have limited time to really understand each patient’s needs.


As a result, patients in this system often feel like they’re on a conveyor belt—pushed through the system quickly without truly addressing their concerns. This is why many people leave appointments feeling like their questions were only half-answered or that their health problems weren’t fully understood.


The DPC Difference


At ON Care, Direct Primary Care eliminates those perverse incentives. We operate outside of insurance, so our goal is simple: to focus on your health, not how many patients we can see in a day. With a flat monthly membership fee, our focus shifts to preventing illness and providing comprehensive, holistic care.

Here’s what that means for you:


  • More Time with Your Doctor: In a typical insurance-based clinic, you may get just 10-15 minutes with your doctor, leaving little room for in-depth conversations. At ON Care, we prioritize longer appointment times, ensuring you get the attention and care you deserve.


  • A Focus on Prevention: Dr. Nevett focuses on preventing health problems before they arise, addressing your health holistically. Whether it’s lifestyle changes, nutrition, or mental health support, we work with you to maintain your well-being—not just react when something goes wrong.


  • No Insurance Hassles: Say goodbye to confusing paperwork, surprise bills, and denied claims. With ON Care’s simple membership model, you pay a flat monthly fee that covers all your primary care services, giving you peace of mind and allowing you to focus entirely on your health.


Is DPC Worth It?


If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by insurance processes or struggled to get the care you need when you need it, the value of DPC becomes clear. In the traditional system, you often pay for tests, procedures, or referrals that may not even be necessary—simply because the system rewards volume over value. With ON Care, we’re incentivized to keep you healthy rather than just treating you when you're sick.


For those dealing with chronic conditions, seeking preventive care, or simply wanting a doctor who can spend quality time understanding their concerns, ON Care offers a holistic approach that can make all the difference in your health journey.


Take Control of Your Health


If you’re ready for a healthcare experience that’s tailored to you, consider joining the waitlist for ON Care. Our members experience the benefits of a patient-first, relationship-based model where your health isn’t just managed, it’s nurtured.

Don’t settle for a system where you’re just another number—experience the difference personalized, comprehensive care can make in your life with ON Care.
