“Emmie is a phenomenal healthcare provider. She truly cares about her patients and listens to understand. I love how she makes you feel comfortable and helps educate you as well. I highy recommend Emmie and give her a 10/10! You will not find a better nurse practitioner.”

“Emmie is an amazing NP, but above and beyond that she is an amazing human who cares deeply for all. Emmie gives the best advice both medically and on a friend level. Whatever she doesn’t know (which isn’t much) she will find the answer and help you get where you need to be. I wish every provider and friend were like Emmie D.

“Emmie Dickerson is an extremely knowledgeable and caring individual. She has walked me through several health issues for both myself and my husband in the last few months. Emmie takes time to educate PLUS explains things in a way that is easy to understand. This is a rarity these days and SO. VERY. Appreciated. Her sense of humor is just icing on the Emmie cake. Gems like her are hard to come by in the medical field these days.”

Glenda J.

“Emmie is an amazing NP and has answered several questions for me on several occasions. I remember when I was truly TERRIFIED of taking the COVID-19 vaccine. She literally broke everything down to me, which calmed my anxiety and my immediate family are all vaccinated now. I trust her with my life!”

About Emmie Dickerson

I value spending quality time with each of my patients

A note from Emmie:

I firmly believe in the power of education as a cornerstone of effective patient care. By providing my patients with comprehensive knowledge about their conditions and treatment options, I empower them to make informed decisions about their health.

As a nurse practitioner, my role extends beyond treatment provision. I view myself as an advocate for my patients, standing up for their health rights, ensuring access to needed resources, and working tirelessly to ensure their voices are heard within the healthcare system.

I am committed to spending quality time with each of my patients. I understand that effective healthcare is not a rushed process, but rather a thoughtful dialogue that respects the unique experiences, perspectives, and needs of everyone.

My philosophy of care is rooted in the belief that the best medical outcomes are achieved when patients are actively involved in their care. Through education, advocacy, and dedicated time, I strive to create a collaborative, patient-centered environment that promotes optimal health and wellbeing.

What is a Direct Primary Care Clinic (DPC)?

Why should I pay for insurance as well as a subscription?

A Direct Primary Care (DPC) subscription and health insurance serve different purposes and complement each other in a comprehensive healthcare plan.

1. Direct Primary Care: This covers your routine healthcare needs. DPC provides you with unlimited access to your primary care provider, often including same-day or next-day appointments, longer visit times, telemedicine services, and sometimes even house calls. This can lead to more personalized, proactive care.

2. Health Insurance: This is designed to cover high-cost, unpredictable events like serious illnesses or accidents that may require specialist care, hospitalization, or high-cost medications. Even if you have a DPC subscription, it won't cover these high-cost events.

In conclusion, a DPC subscription can provide you with excellent primary care, but it is not a substitute for insurance. It's a good idea to maintain some form of high-deductible health insurance policy to protect yourself financially in case of major health issues or emergencies.
