Life’s defining moments

September 27, 2020 by Paul Williams 6 Comments

Well it has been longer than I anticipated since my last blog entry. I have found writing these blogs hard, and I put off writing them. I also had rotator cuff surgery, so for 6 weeks it was difficult to type. I am now out of the sling. Put both these facts together and here ... Continue Reading

Thank you Father for your love and closeness. Thank you all for your continued thoughts and prayers. It has been a month since my last blog and almost 8 months since Theresa went to be with her Savior. I’ve been trying to adjust to being a widower, singing solo instead of a duet. Twenty seven ... Continue Reading

Thank you Father for this new day, for your quiet voice, for your affirming ways. Thank you all for your continued prayers and comments.

About Doctor Paul

Dr. Paul Williams, MD is a small-town family practice doctor working in Centralia, Washington. He works from the same office where his primary care practice was established by his father over 38 years ago. He believes strongly that the art of the old-fashioned primary care doctor is an important feature of our medical system that should be preserved and protected from excess interference from insurance companies and government regulation alike.

Due to changes in the health care industry and regulations affecting it, and in an effort to preserve the art of old-fashioned primary care, Dr. Paul has shifted his practice to a Direct Care model, meaning that patients pay an affordable monthly fee to purchase primary care health care services directly, rather than having their services billed through an insurance company.

This blog is intended to help Dr. Paul's patients (and anyone else!) understand the changes the medical industry is going through, and to provide information about the Direct Care model of primary care.
