 Root-Cause Primary Care for
Lifelong Strength & Health

Direct Family Care of Northern Colorado is a direct primary care (DPC) practice built on a simple belief: health improves when care is personal, proactive, and unrushed.

By removing insurance companies and third-party billing, we’re able to focus fully on you — your story, your goals, and the root causes of why you don’t feel your best.

Our approach emphasizes metabolic health, balanced hormones, strength, nutrition, stress, sleep, and prevention — not just prescriptions and quick fixes.

One affordable monthly fee includes longer visits, transparent pricing, and direct access to your physician when you need it.

This practice may be a great fit if you:

​

  • Don’t feel well but haven’t gotten clear answers

  • Want to prevent disease, not just react to it

  • Are focused on energy, strength, and long-term health

  • Value time, education, and partnership in your care

​

What Makes Direct Family Care Different? 

Take a moment to think about all the things you don’t like about going to see the doctor…

​

  • Rushed appointments and long waits

  • Feeling unheard or dismissed

  • Surprise bills and confusing insurance coverage

  • Care focused on symptoms instead of cause

 

​

With Direct Family Care, you can expect:

​

  • Unrushed visits and a direct relationship with your care team

  • Same-day and next-day appointments (in person or virtual)

  • Transparent, upfront pricing

  • A proactive approach focused on prevention, wellness and long-term health

"I am so glad I found Direct Family Care. I read about the new practice in a newspaper article when they first started and the information stuck with me. The care they offered brought me to Dr. Lentz. I am very thankful I did! Everyone is kind and they are available when you need anything. Being able to contact your provider via a texting system is invaluable. It’s quick and easy to get a refill or ask a question without waiting hours or days for a response as I have experienced with other practices. I highly recommend Direct Family Care of NOCO! Dr. Lentz, thank you for your exceptional care!"

"I highly recommend this doctor! This honestly feels like the first doctor I’ve seen in decades that actually cares about my health to the extent that they will look into things concerning my health while I’m not even present for an appointment. I feel as though my best interests are being thought of and that I’m not just the 10 minute appointment they’re late for."

"I’ve had a great experience here! Communication is excellent, I’m always able to get an appointment when needed, and Dr. Lentz does absolutely everything to make my experience as easy as possible! Most importantly, Dr. Lentz is compassionate and listens. Thumbs up for the whole team—I have only good things to say!"

We Want You To Feel Heard

We want to spend time with you and we want to know your stories. How else can we know what will be the best path ahead for you and your health? Our goal is to help you maintain or achieve the very best health that you can. When appropriate we have time to coach you on lifestyle changes as opposed to handout out medication, and in fact we like nothing more than taking away medications you no longer need. We choose to explain why you should do something instead of just what you should do. 

Our goal is not dependency -- it's confidence in your health.
