Why Direct Primary Care (DPC) Matters
A Better Approach to Health Care—Built on Time, Access, and Trust
Over the years, we have watched the system change—more insurance hurdles, less time with patients, and a growing gap between what people need and what they are given.
That was never the kind of medicine that Dr. Brengle wanted to practice.
At Brengle Family Medicine, we chose the Direct Primary Care model because we believe your health deserves time, attention, and a doctor who actually knows you. No rushed visits. No red tape. Just a return to personalized care the way it should be.
What Is Direct Primary Care?
Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a patient-first model where you pay a flat monthly fee for unlimited access to your primary care doctor, regardless of your insurance status.
Because we are not tied to insurance billing, we can keep overhead low and care quality high. That means longer visits, same or next day appointments for urgent needs and more time focused on you.

Why We Do This: A Message from Dr. Brengle
For Dr. Brengle, medicine has always been about the relationship not the chart.
During his career of caring for families in Indiana, he saw how insurance-driven systems were making that relationship harder to maintain.
We built Brengle Family Medicine on a simple idea:
Patients deserve better access, more time, and a doctor who listens.
It’s a model built on trust, service, and proven results—and it’s why generations of families continue to choose our care.
