Healthcare Freedom Starts Here – Experience Medicine the Way It Should Be

Are you tired of rushing through 7-minute doctor visits? Frustrated with insurance denials and endless prior authorizations? Exhausted from playing phone tag just to ask your doctor a simple question?

At AZ Health Solutions in Merritt Island, we’ve eliminated these healthcare headaches through our Direct Primary Care (DPC) membership program. This isn’t just another medical practice – it’s a complete transformation of how you experience healthcare, putting you and your wellness goals first.

What Is Direct Primary Care?

Direct Primary Care is a revolutionary healthcare model that removes insurance companies from the doctor-patient relationship. Instead of billing insurance for each visit, DPC practices operate on a simple monthly membership – like a gym membership for your health.

At AZ Health Solutions, your $99 monthly membership provides:

  • Unlimited office visits with no copays or hidden fees
  • Direct access to Dr. Zawodniak via phone, text, and email during business hours
  • Extended appointments – 60 minutes for new patients, 30 minutes for follow-ups
  • Same-day or next-day appointments for urgent concerns
  • Personalized care plans tailored to your unique health goals
  • Transparent pricing with no surprise bills

This model allows Dr. Zawodniak to limit her patient panel, ensuring each member receives the time, attention, and personalized care they deserve – something impossible in traditional insurance-based practices seeing 30+ patients daily.

The Problems We Solve: Why Brevard County Residents Choose Direct Primary Care

Limited Access to Quality Healthcare

Traditional practices force doctors to see 25-35 patients daily just to stay profitable under insurance reimbursements. This creates:

  • Weeks-long waits for appointments
  • Rushed visits that barely scratch the surface of your concerns
  • Difficulty reaching your doctor between visits
  • Impersonal care from providers who barely know you

Feeling Unheard and Undervalued

When you’re rushed through appointments and treated like a number, it affects more than your physical health. You feel:

  • Frustrated that your concerns aren’t fully addressed
  • Anxious about missing something important in those brief visits
  • Disconnected from your healthcare provider
  • Powerless in your own health journey

Healthcare Should Heal, Not Harm

We believe healthcare should strengthen the doctor-patient relationship, not strain it. Insurance-driven medicine has created a system where:

  • Paperwork takes precedence over patients
  • Billing codes matter more than healing
  • Quantity overrides quality
  • Profits supersede people

Direct Primary Care returns medicine to its roots – a healing relationship between doctor and patient, free from third-party interference.
