Why physicians like this role

• No patient panel. Practice full-scope outpatient family medicine without carrying panel-continuity burden.

• Home for dinner. Monday–Friday, 8:00–5:00, clinics close for lunch, no hospital call, no nights, no weekends.
• Integrated, whole-person care. Medical, dental, behavioral health, SUD services, optometry, pharmacy, and diabetes care under one roof — warm hand-offs down the hall, not referrals into the void.
