Dr. Mariele Briones and Dr. Matthew Kane
Direct Endocrine Care
Dr. Briones and Dr. Kane are board-certified endocrinologists with over 60 years combined experience in managing diabetes and thyroid disorders in the West Chester, Pennsylvania area.
Our new Direct Endocrine Care model prioritizes the direct relationship between the patient and doctor. It cuts out the middlemen and frees the doctor to provide quality care at fair and transparent prices without the constraints of traditional practices that serve the needs of the insurance companies. We do not accept health insurance or bill any health insurance for services. The patient pays a monthly membership fee in exchange for un-rushed visits scheduled in a timely manner and deep discounts on lab tests. Many members with high-deductible insurance plans find the direct care model to be more affordable.
Accepting a limited number of members to ensure access. Our goal is to prioritize our members and their health.
