WE ARE HERE TO HELP!
WHAT IS DIRECT PRIMARY CARE?
Direct primary care, or DPC, is a monthly membership health care model that provides the patient with unlimited access to their provider for primary care and urgent care needs. No deductibles. No copays.
Unlimited access to same or next day visits. Direct line of communication via text, email, or phone with your provider.
Providers have a small patient load, giving them more time with each patient, therefore, increasing the quality of care.
Transparent pricing. Discounted labs, medications, and imaging. No surprise billing.
No more unnecessary in-office visits for billing and insurance purposes. Convenient telehealth to keep you focused and present where you’re needed most-at home, at work, on vacation, etc.
The DPC approach is great for those with or without insurance.

“Tired of mediocre care, lack of transparency, and being treated like a number in the big healthcare system? Look no further - Blake is thoughtful, progressive, and detailed. I’m so glad I ditched my traditional primary care provider and never looking back. There is a new way of medicine and would highly recommend Cool Springs Direct Primary Care for anyone who is fed up with the current system of get ‘em in and get ‘em out the door.” -Jermey
“I recently had the privilege of becoming a patient of Blake Carden, and I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional care I received. What truly sets Blake apart is his genuine compassion and dedication to his patients. Shortly after starting my care with him, I encountered a health issue, and Blake promptly responded, helping me understand the situation and guiding me toward the necessary treatment. I highly recommend Blake to anyone seeking a dedicated and skilled healthcare protessional. His positive impact on my health journey is undeniable, and I believe anyone would benefit from his exceptional care. Thank you, Blake, for your unwavering support and expertise!”-Tadd
“Blake, PA-C, is seriously amazing! My first appointment with him was so refreshing. He spent a whole hour just chatting with me – not just about my medical stuff, but also my family history and just getting to know me as a person. He's incredibly friendly and his smile makes you feel instantly comfortable. Last week, I was feeling pretty terrible, and get this – Blake actually came to my apartment after hours because the office was closed! He checked my vitals, ran some tests, and gave me the kind of personalized care I've come to expect from him. I've never had a healthcare provider who's so dedicated.
And the best part? I can message him anytime through the Spruce app! Whether it's a big concern or just a little question, he always gets back to me super fast with helpful advice. Having Blake as my PA has totally changed how I think about healthcare. He really goes above and beyond with his personalized care. I can't recommend him enough!” -Russell
“I’ve known Blake for several years. We met when he was an ortho PA and, as fate would have it, is now my family's DPC. He's extremely knowledgeable in many fields of medicine, listens well and is approachable. If you're tired of feeling like you're just another item to check off the list when you visit the doctor, I recommend you give Blake a shot.” -Jason

WHY I CHOSE TO START A DPC PRACTICE
After 10 years of working in the “system” of standard practice medicine, it was time to make a change. I went into medicine with a deep desire to help people in all aspects of health but quickly realized the system was broken. Patients were the ones suffering whether it was from lack of access, poor communication, unavailability, or outrageous pricing. When I ran across the DPC model of practicing medicine, I realized there was a way for this to change. By removing the “middle men” from primary care health services, the relationship between the provider and patient is restored. By paying your provider directly, this in turn allows them to have a smaller patient panel enabling them to provide a higher quality of care and be available when needed. Instead of rushed office visits lasting only 5-10 minutes, in DPC, visits are typically 30-60 minutes. Rather than the provider focused on coding and documentation structured by insurance companies, in the DPC system, the focus is on the patients’ needs and health alone. Instead of waiting in a crowded waiting room, be greeted at the door by your provider. Overall, this leads to more patient driven and involved health care that ultimately keeps them healthier and more satisfied so they can enjoy their daily interests and spend time with loved ones.
I would be honored to serve you for your health care needs.
