While much of primary care seems to be shifting toward triage, it's worth noting that Direct Primary Care (DPC) is actually growing rapidly as an alternative model. More physicians are choosing DPC to maintain autonomy, provide deeper patient relationships, and escape the typical fee-for-service grind and administrative burden. It's an encouraging sign that not all doctors are resigned to becoming 'glorified triage agents' some are building new models focused on genuine, highly personal care.
