Care, the way it was meant to be.
Dani Dupuis, NP-C, is the founder of Phoenix Rising Family Medicine and has been caring for patients in Oregon since 2009. After years working in both critical care and primary care, she became increasingly interested in the deeper factors that influence health—looking beyond symptoms alone to consider lifestyle, relationships, stress, trauma, metabolism, hormones, and the realities of everyday life. Her approach is grounded in curiosity, relationship, and individualized care, helping patients make sense of their health in a way that fits their goals, values, and season of life.

My desire to become a Nurse practitioner started in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) where I was a bedside nurse for almost 10 years. As a Staff Nurse in the ICU, Resource Nurse to my peers, and Rapid Response Nurse for the entire hospital, I have seen firsthand how chronic disease and lifestyle choices affect patients and their families. My experience, coupled with my passion, has brought me right where I want to be.
Do you feel lost? Forgotten? Do the medical needs of you and your family feel entirely eclipsed by the desires of the insurance-medical complex?
Trust us, you are not alone. It is easy to think medical care MUST be confounding, confusing, and expensive. If you’re like many people, you pay your premium every month and still don’t know what you’re getting in return.
At Phoenix Rising Family Medicine, we know the system. Most of us worked in it for years. We saw the frustration on our patient’s faces. We felt it. We knew there had to be a better way to deliver better care to more people at a price the average family could afford.
We found the solution through a model known as Direct Primary Care.
Direct: We don’t work with insurance companies. This gives us total freedom to work directly with you, the patient. Plus, we don’t spend valuable time and resources filling out paperwork, hoping to get reimbursed, which keeps our costs low.
Primary: Studies show that over 85% of medical needs can be addressed at the Primary Care level. And, in reality, the cost of addressing those needs is low. You should not have to shovel enormous premiums to your insurance company to have easy, unlimited access to a provider.
Care: As our patient, you don’t pay a third party. You pay us directly. That means we work for you. It means we care for and about you and your family. No one else. Our goal is simple: provide you, the patient, the best care possible. Through the Direct Primary Care model, we have the time, resources, and (most importantly) freedom to achieve that goal.
So, if 85% of the care occurs at the Primary Care level, what about the other 15%? You might wonder, “What if I need lab work done? Or need to see a specialist? What if I get hit by a bus and need to go to the hospital?”
In modest cases, we work directly with other providers to find you great rates on lab work, specialists, and other procedures we don’t do in our office. For those extreme cases (surgeries, accidents, etc), you may want to carry catastrophic coverage or join a medical cost sharing program.
We are a team of providers who escaped the system. Yes, it was scary. But it was easily the best decision we have ever made.
Escape with us! It could be the best decision you ever made, too. For you and your family.
