Where your doctor works for you
You need an advocate
Dr. Rachel K. Langley is a family physician in Gleneagle (Monument/Black Forest/North Colorado Springs area) who will listen to you and take the time to hear what you're saying. She has opted out of the "normal" healthcare insurance system to escape the parts that used to make her patients miserable - and keep her charting until late at night - just to jump through the hoops required by health insurances. Free of that administrative burden, she works directly with her patients for a monthly membership fee. Paid only by her patients, she works only for them - with no conflicts of interest to keep an insurance company happy.

Having insurance isn’t the same as having a doctor
Where is your path taking you?
Is your health all that you want it to be?
If you've ever wondered what happened to the days of a family doc who would sit down and look you in the eye during your appointment, and have time to chat about what the kids are up to and how your garden is doing, then look no further. HDPC is part of a larger movement in medicine called Direct Primary Care, which treats insurance as something for large expenses and emergencies, and not a way to pay for the expected annual medical care that everyone needs. We have contracted with local labs, imaging centers, and even some specialists to keep your prices reasonable. We even offer some common medications on site that we can sell for a wholesale cost, no waiting at the pharmacy required!
Why ‘homestead’?
Our clinic is located near what used to be the tiny towns of Husted and Edgerton. Visit the nearby Western Museum of Mining & Industry to learn more, but we think that’s pretty cool and a part of our heritage. Just as the original residents of those towns, and even further back to the Utes, had to learn and adapt to live here, so must our clinic teach and work with the community to thrive. With so much raw data as well as opinion pieces available on the internet, it's hard to know which is which, and having your own personal doctor that you can email with questions will help you make the right decisions! Dr. Langley has worked as a teacher, enjoys public speaking, and even has a youtube channel because she just wants people to know more about their health.
If you’re looking for breakthrough state-of-the-art (expensive) technology, that’s not what we are about. If your health would be better by working in a relationship with a doctor you grow to trust and are comfortable with, come on in! And if you’re interested, you can also chat with Dr. Langley about her little 5 acres where her kids run free amongst her chickens, bees, geese, turkeys, and dairy cow.
Be heard by your doctor
Another great thing about spending more time at each appointment is that the doctor gets to practice to the full scope of their training. You see, family medicine doctors get trained to do all sorts of things in residency - things many family docs refer to orthopedic surgeons, dermatologists, and plastic surgeons - skin lesion removals, complicated laceration repairs, small vein sclerotherapy, joint injections. These days, doctors can't fit these procedures into an 8 minute appointment. Here at HDPC we have the time we need to take care of you, and can take care of 85-90% of your medical needs right here.
What do you do when you have a medical concern that's not urgent? If you're like most patients, you Google it. Or ask your aunt. What if you could email your own personal doctor? Our patients get the benefit of access to their doctor; whether it's an urgent phone call to their cell phone to see if you need to go to the ER or if you can wait until morning, or a text with a rash that just turned up, or an email asking their opinion on this new supplement. When you have a reliable expert to lean on, you have less anxiety about your health.
So how does this work?
