How we're different
Remember when...
​
– You could see your doctor when you needed to
– A real person answered the phone—and knew your name
– You were greeted by a familiar face
– Appointments lasted longer than 15 rushed minutes
– You had help navigating healthcare costs and finding discounts
– Your doctor had time to advocate for you and coordinate your care
– You didn’t need to take half a day off work for a visit with your PCP
– Waiting rooms weren’t crowded and sterile
​
At Magnolia Direct Family Care, we’re bringing that experience back—with modern conveniences like texting, email, phone access, and intuitive telehealth. By limiting our patient panel, we ensure personalized, high-quality, physician-led care for every member.
What is direct primary care?
Dr Cook's Approach to Care
Hello!​
​
I decided to open Magnolia Direct Family Care in 2021 after 20 years of practicing in the insurance driven medical system. I saw firsthand the negative impact of fragmented, delayed care, not to mention hidden costs. I also knew I wanted to spend more time with patients and practice in an authentic way that was more intuitive and connected. ​
I take a "whole person" approach to primary care and truly enjoy getting to know my patients. I also believe in a collaborative approach to care, as no one knows what you're experiencing better than you. I believe what you say and acknowledge that we each experience the world differently. I will advocate for you.​
My extensive training as a physician allows me to take a thoughtful approach to medical care. I love taking a list of seemingly unrelated symptoms and putting together a diagnosis and treatment plan, especially when it doesn't involve medications or unnecessary testing. So much can be accomplished with education and empowerment!
