The Problem
Let’s face it. Medical care in our country is very expensive and insurance costs have skyrocketed. With higher deductibles and larger copays, and with the uncertainty of what the office visit and lab charges will be, many choose to avoid going to the office for care. When things get bad enough, and we do decide to see the doctor, many times we must wait days for an appointment opening or see a provider we do not know for a brief, urgent care visit.
The Solution
At Havekost Personal Healthcare we seek to address the problems in healthcare with a new model of medicine called Direct Primary Care (DPC). DPC is a membership based model of care where we seek to provide tailored medical care to you, the patient. Your monthly membership gives you access to care with same day and next day appointments, extended time with the doctor, and transparent pricing with the additional valuable benefits of laboratory and medication expenses up to 80-90% less than traditional practices. There are unlimited visits with no copays or deductibles. Please review the DPC video to the right.
Dr. Havekost is excited to practice medicine with this innovative model of care called Direct Primary Care (DPC). DPC returns to the traditional roots of the family doctor with personalized care where the patient-physician relationship is paramount and time spent with patients and their families is not rushed.
Havekost Personal Healthcare Four Foundational Pillars

Extended Visits = Relaxed Visits
You won’t feel rushed through an appointment, and there’s never a question you won’t have time to ask. Part of the relationship you’ll build with Dr. Havekost is based on you understanding your medical conditions. That’s what we call personal healthcare.
Fewer Patients = More Time for You
In a typical practice, a family doctor cares for 2500+ patients. At Havekost Personal Healthcare we will limit our practice to 500-700 patients. We do this on purpose. It’s no wonder we have so much time for you. Because we limit the number of patients we see, our schedule is open and we’re available when you need us—no matter what time of the day or part of the week.
