About

Dr. Paula Dygert spent her early years practicing alongside her father in a small‑town family medicine office, learning the value of knowing patients personally and tailoring care to each individual. After moving to the West Coast and working in several primary‑care settings, she recognized that the traditional model left little time for the deep doctor‑patient relationships she valued. To provide the time and continuity she believes are essential for optimal health, Dr. Dygert founded Simplicity Direct Care, a Direct Primary Care practice in Spokane that emphasizes personalized, accessible, and holistic primary care.

Dr. Dygert’s clinical background includes dual certification in Internal Medicine and Pediatrics, allowing her to care for patients of all ages. She combines evidence‑based medicine with a whole‑person approach, offering well‑child checks, sports physicals, telemedicine visits, and coordinated care with specialists. Her philosophy centers on building lasting relationships, listening attentively, and empowering patients to take an active role in their health.
