Drostan Baker

Dr. Drostan Baker is a Board Certified Family Medicine Physician who founded Baker Direct Primary Care to return to a direct, patient‑centered model of care. Inspired by his grandfather’s example of spending time and building relationships with patients, Dr. Baker believes that primary care should be free of insurance‑driven constraints and focused on long, thoughtful appointments. He emphasizes that eliminating third‑party interference improves health outcomes and restores the doctor‑patient relationship.

He critiques the current insurance model for prioritizing high volume over quality, leading to physician burnout and rushed visits. At Baker Direct Primary Care, he provides longer appointment times (30‑60 minutes), telemedicine access, and a flat monthly fee, ensuring patients receive personalized, uninterrupted care. Dr. Baker’s philosophy centers on listening, empathy, and giving patients the time they deserve.
