Dr. Lofley’s office is truly unlike any other doctor's office I have been to! From the moment you walk in, you feel heard, respected, and genuinely cared for not rushed through or stuck for lengthy periods waiting to be seen. Dr. Lofley takes the time to thoroughly assess each patient, listen carefully to every concern, and understand the person—not just the symptoms. They work with you to create a personalized treatment plan that is both effective and realistic for your lifestyle. Their compassion, attention to detail, and commitment to patient care are exceptional. I cannot recommend Dr. Lofley and his wonderful team highly enough!

Dr.Lofley has single handedly kept my faith in the medical system after years of dismissals and rude behavior. He genuinely cares about you and why you’re ill. He’s also just a chill guy in general. All staff is amazing everytime I come in. Despite me being a frequent patient AND being a lot to deal with due my autism. Everyone is extremely nice and patient. I have never received such level of care from an individual practice in my life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Direct Primary Care is a membership-based approach to healthcare that creates a direct relationship between you and your physician without billing insurance for care provided in our office. This allows us to care for fewer patients, offer longer appointments, and provide greater access when you need us.

Traditional primary care physicians may care for thousands of patients, which can mean shorter appointments and longer waits. Blue Ocean intentionally maintains a smaller patient panel, giving us more time to know our patients, address their concerns, and provide more personalized care.

Your membership includes primary care visits with no copays, longer appointments, same- or next-day availability when possible, direct communication with your physician, preventive and chronic care, and many in-office procedures. Members also receive access to discounted labs, medications, and other services.

Yes. Blue Ocean does not bill insurance for care provided within our office, but you can continue using your health insurance for specialists, imaging, hospital care, prescriptions, and other services outside the practice.

Insurance is designed to protect you from larger healthcare expenses, while your Blue Ocean membership provides accessible, everyday primary care. Membership gives you more time with your physician, easier access to care, no office copays, and a doctor you can contact when health concerns arise.

Because we intentionally limit the number of patients in our practice, members can typically receive same- or next-day appointments when needed. We also allow more time for visits so you don’t feel rushed through your care.

Yes. Direct access is an important part of our model. Members can communicate directly with their physician for appropriate medical questions and concerns without always needing to schedule an office visit.

Experience Healthcare the Way It Was Meant to Be

Whether you’re looking for a physician who takes the time to listen, wants to know your family, or provides direct access when you need it most, we’d love to welcome you to Blue Ocean Direct Primary Care.
