Why We Do It
Agora Health – Direct Primary Care is a local solution to a national problem. Healthcare in this country no longer focuses on caring for a patient’s best interests. With huge corporations and profits in the way, we’ve lost the direct connection between a doctor and their patient.

Medicine The Way Its Meant to be Practiced
No one goes to medical school in order to spend their day working their recommendations around nonsensical insurance requirements. We don’t become doctors to squeeze our schedules full of short appointments in which no actual human interaction or problem-solving can occur. We didn’t spend years of intense study and practice to learn about medicines that patients cannot afford because they do not have health insurance.
Dr. Pfaffly went into medicine to truly help members of his community. By adopting the direct primary care model, Agora Health solves many of the problems above. We will help you navigate the broken healthcare system and will help you save money along the way.
Healthcare should be affordable and accessible to everyone.
We believe that everyone should have access to affordable healthcare. We work without health insurance to ensure that our services are accessible to our community.
Proactive, routine, and maintenance care can prevent future problems.
Managing your health before issues arise is ideal. Preventative prescriptions, maintenance care, and regular checkups can prevent major health issues down the road.
Patients shouldn’t be overcharged for prescriptions, tests, or procedures.
Routine healthcare doesn’t cost as much as most doctor’s offices charge. When we ask you to pay for any additional services, we’ll only charge you enough to cover our costs.
Healthcare should not be rushed.
We’ll never rush you out the door or pack our schedules full. Giving the best care to each patient means listening to the whole picture, discussing options, and informing you about your choices.
Doctors should be an ally and a resource for their patients.
Our healthcare system can be confusing and difficult. We’ll lend our experience and recommendations any time you need a specialist, outside care, or emergency services. You can always call, text, or email us with any questions about your care, health, or navigating the healthcare system.
All patients should have access to current technology and alternative approaches.
We invest in technology and equipment to provide the best care possible for our members. We’re also happy to provide alternative and complementary treatments without requiring health insurance approval.
