The Direct Care Difference: What It Really Means for You
After completing my endocrinology fellowship, I worked at three different practices—different locations, different sizes, different structures. But they all struggled with the same problem: packed schedules, too many patients, and not nearly enough time.
Sound familiar?
In 2024, I decided it was time for something different. I opened Healthy You Endocrinology and Weight Loss as a small, direct-care practice where I could finally create the kind of health space I'd always envisioned—one actually dedicated to helping you feel better, not just checking boxes.
The Direct Care Difference: What It Really Means for You
More Time, Better Care Our appointments are 30-60 minutes, not 7. That means we have time to listen to your full story, understand your symptoms, and create a personalized plan—not just rush you through a prescription.
Same-Day or Next-Day Access No more waiting weeks to be seen when something comes up. Direct care means you get timely access to your doctor when you actually need it, not when the schedule finally opens up.
Direct Communication Text, email, or call us with questions between visits. You get real access to Dr. Borensztein—not an endless phone tree or patient portal message that takes days to answer.
Comprehensive Testing We're not limited by what insurance "covers." We order the tests you actually need to get answers, not just the bare minimum.
Personalized Treatment Plans Everybody is different. We have the time to tailor your treatment to your specific hormones, metabolism, lifestyle, and goals—not follow a one-size-fits-all protocol.
Coordinated Care We work as your partner and advocate, coordinating with your other providers to ensure everyone is on the same page about your health.
No Insurance Hassles No prior authorizations, no denied claims, no fighting for the care you need. Your membership covers your visits, and we're on your side—not the insurance company's.
Continuity You Can Count On You see the same doctor every time who knows your history, remembers your concerns, and is invested in your long-term success.
Bottom line: Direct care means Dr. Borensztein works for you, not an insurance company. It means adequate time, real answers, and a true partnership in your health.
