Tell Kirsten a little about what you are looking for. You will have time to discuss your full story privately during the care process.

Why Kirsten chose private-pay care

Kirsten built her practice outside the insurance-driven model so care could remain personal, responsive, flexible, and centered on the patient. Superbills may be available for patients who independently choose to seek out-of-network reimbursement.
  • More time in appointments
  • More frequent follow-up
  • Direct communication
  • Fewer insurer-imposed restrictions
  • Clear costs before care begins, with no copays or deductibles through the practice
  • Greater discretion when care is not submitted through an insurance claim
  • Treatment decisions made between the patient and provider
