View Our FAQ

See what’s different about Vanguard Direct Family Medicine.

Vanguard Direct Family Medicine operates as a Direct Primary Care practice. It’s a new approach to medicine. So, how is it different?

Dr. Hoffman is a family physician providing affordable primary healthcare to the residents of Rutherford County. The Direct Primary Care model gives us the ability to offer outstanding care to our patients 24/7- whenever you need us. You and your family’s health deserve the personal attention that we provide. Are you tired of the insurance company telling you what is best for your health? At Vanguard we do not accept insurance, your healthcare decisions are made between you and your physician. We are conveniently located in Murfreesboro TN. Take back your healthcare and contact us today.

Fewer Patients

Did you know that most Primary Care Physicians have between 2,500-3,500 patients? Dr. Hoffman will limit her practice to 600 patients. This means that she can spend more time with you when you need her. It also means that when she is not actively seeing a patient, she is able to coordinate your care and research the latest advances in treatments. Your well-being is Dr. Hoffman’s priority, and the reason for why she does what she does.

No Insurance

Vanguard Direct Family Medicine does not accept insurance so you won’t have a middle-man in your primary care. Decisions about your healthcare will be made by you and Dr. Hoffman, without the impersonal management that inevitably comes from third-party payers. Instead, patients pay a monthly membership fee which can save money and lead to better treatment.

If you have any questions about how your existing policy will work with DPC or would like to explore other health insurance options, please contact our Medicare specialist.

Benefits of Vanguard Direct Family Medicine

Wholesale labs, prescriptions, and radiology

We have negotiated the very best wholesale lab and radiology prices for all labs that we must send outside our office as well as wholesale generic medications we dispense in our office. Those savings are passed directly on to our patients.

Unlimited access to your doctor

Literally. After hours, weekends, holidays – there’s no bad time to receive excellent medical care.

Extended, relaxed visits

You won’t feel rushed through an appointment, and there’s never a question you won’t have time to ask. Part of the relationship you’ll build with your doctor is based on your understanding of your care. Now that’s what we call personal healthcare.

Same day and next-day service scheduling

Because we have reserved our time for a smaller panel of patients, there will be no “squeezing you in.” You are a priority, and you’ll feel like one. We will do everything in our power to get you into the office the same day or next day when you need care.

Full access to your doctor via technology

You’ll be able to reach us and your medical information via internet, email and text.

An annual physical

This exam will be fitted to your personal medical needs. It’s all about you, and your specific goals for wellness. A physical exam will be done, and appropriate tests will be ordered. We will also make sure you are up to date with all recommended health screenings.

Diagnostic and procedural benefits at no extra cost

For example, simple lesion removal and minor laceration repair are all included in your membership fee. If there is an extra charge for a service, you will know exactly what it is before proceeding.

Consultation with Specialists

If you require a consultant for specialty medical care, Dr. Hoffman will work closely with that specialist. The choice of specialty care provider is made together with you and Dr. Hoffman.
