Physician – Primary Care
Artesia, New Mexico
A Different Kind of Primary Care
What if you could practice medicine the way you always hoped you would?
At Proactive MD, our physicians have the time and support to build meaningful relationships with their patients and focus on what matters most - providing exceptional, patient-centered care.
We are redefining workplace healthcare through a Direct Primary Care model that puts the patient and the provider at the center of everything we do. Our clinics are designed to give physicians the time, resources, and autonomy to practice medicine thoughtfully, without the pressure of traditional fee-for-service healthcare.
Why Physicians Choose Proactive MD
More time with your patients.
Our physicians spend an average of 30 minutes with each patient , allowing you to listen, dig deeper, address multiple concerns, and treat the whole person rather than rushing through a high-volume schedule.
Smaller, dedicated patient panels.
You’ll have the opportunity to develop meaningful, long-term relationships with your patients while focusing on preventive care, health education, screening, and overall wellness.
Practice medicine - not the numbers.
There are no RVUs, productivity quotas, or volume-based incentives. We don't measure success by how many patients you can see in a day. We measure it by the health, satisfaction, and engagement of the people we serve.
Less administrative burden.
Our model significantly reduces the charting and coding requirements associated with traditional fee-for-service medicine, giving you more time to focus on your patients.
A true team approach.
You won't be practicing alone. Our physicians work alongside a dedicated clinical team that includes medical assistants, Patient Advocates, and clinical leadership, creating a collaborative environment focused on the patient's complete needs.
A healthier work-life balance.
This position offers a consistent weekday schedule with no weekends , giving you more time outside of work to enjoy life, family, and the things that matter to you.
