Our mission: Provide high-quality, comprehensive primary care that advances the health of the families we serve.
Fort Wayne Direct Primary Care offers members exclusive access to exceptional primary care. You'll enjoy a trusted partnership with your personal physician, who provides all your primary care services. This exclusive access means you'll receive the highest level of care tailored to your individual needs. We offer unique benefits you won't find in traditional healthcare settings, like same and next-day appointments, extended visits (often 30-60 minutes), and little to no wait times. Families who join our practice enjoy having one doctor for the whole family. Whether in-person or online, you'll always see the same provider, your personal doctor, at every visit. We offer flexible scheduling to fit your busy lifestyle, with in-person or telehealth visits and urgent care options for last-minute concerns that arise.
We proudly offer extensive weight management services within our primary care practice. Dr. Aluri, who has personally experienced the challenges of weight management, combines his personal and professional experiences to provide patients with comprehensive education and support. Like many people during the pandemic, Dr. Aluri experienced long work hours and additional stressors that led to weight gain and chronic back pain. To improve his health and better serve patients, he pursued further training in obesity and lifestyle medicine. He lost 80 pounds and has maintained this weight loss over the past two years through lifestyle changes. Dr. Aluri understands the unique struggles people face in managing their weight. Even with medicines, surgery, and other interventions, long-term weight management requires education and support to help you make and follow lifestyle changes to prevent weight gain and chronic disease down the road. We will work together to determine whether a medication based option or non-medication base option will work best for you!
By partnering with Dr. Aluri, you'll get a compassionate, caring doctor with comprehensive knowledge and experience to help you enjoy long-term success.
