Helping you gain your freedom and reclaim your passion for medicine

My friend, I promise I was just like you. I took that position at the FHQC, hoping to make a difference. I too was disappointed to see that it was just Burger King healthcare; “Need a refill? Need a referral? Need labs? Okay, here you go, I’ll see you again in 3 months”

That’s not medicine!

For me, I knew I needed to figure out something different or leave medicine altogether. That’s when I made the decision to take the leap and start my own Direct Primary Care Clinic!

Humble Beginnings

TrueCare DPC, a direct primary care practice founded by Golfran A. Rivera, PA-C in Fayetteville, NC

TrueCare DPC began as a small 8ftx8ft space that my dad, a friend, and I built over the weekend inside a jiu jitsu gym 😅

I balanced my time between that FQHC and building my patient panel.

Freedom Realized

From that tiny exam room to over 200 patient members and now spreading the good news about DPC for PAs at state conferences. The DPC journey has given me the freedom I desired and restored my passion for serving in medicine. I want you to experience this too! I want your patients to experience this. Your family to experience this!

More About Me

I didn’t always want to be in medicine. I’ve never liked the way the US healthcare system is set up. But I was called to it, and soon found myself serving as a PA in the US Army.

It wasn’t long until my lived experience matched my expectations. Rushed encounters, overworked, and unfulfilled. I didn’t know what I was going to do. I knew medicine was my calling, but I also knew I couldn’t actually practice medicine in our healthcare system. So, I decided to do something different.
