WHY DPMA?

Patients and doctors are besieged by a system run by third parties – insurance companies, government, big medical associations, corporate medicine, and politicians. These entities survive by scaring patients, holding doctors hostage through regulations and mandates. They thrive by promoting the narrative that patients and doctors have competing interests.

DPMA believes the key to a successful patient-doctor relationship is direct communication as active partners in health care.

Our core mission is to protect freedom in medicine for doctors and patients.

Membership is open to patients and medical professionals of all specialties and focuses. This includes physicians, surgeons, specialists, nurses, dentists, chiropractors and numerous others. In addition, corporate and association memberships and sponsorships are available.
