In this episode of the My DPC Story Podcast, Dr. Lisa Lucas of Fulcrum Family Health in Maine shares her journey from fee-for-service medicine to owning a thriving Direct Primary Care (DPC) practice. Dr. Lucas, a board-certified osteopathic family physician specializing in obesity medicine and menopause, discusses how DPC empowers her to provide relationship-based, patient-centered care—especially valued in Maine’s tight-knit communities. She highlights the importance of building trust, prioritizing personalized care plans, and creating a welcoming clinic environment. Dr. Lucas also offers insights into navigating finances, transitioning out of insurance-based models, and collaborating with her partner, Dr. Romeo Lucas, in direct specialty care. The episode covers the impact of recent legislative changes expanding healthcare access in Maine, the future of DPC with wraparound insurance plans, and how DPC is attracting the next generation of primary care doctors. Tune in to learn why DPC is revolutionizing family medicine, making healthcare more accessible, and restoring joy for both patients and physicians.
