About

At Inspire Health Direct Primary Care, Dr. Paula Frantz delivers comprehensive family medicine on her patients' terms. She founded the Sterling, Colorado practice in 2015 with a clear goal: give patients time, attention, and genuine partnership in their own care. Her guiding belief is that teaching patients about their health and coaching them through decisions produces better outcomes than rushed visits ever could.

The practice serves all ages, from newborns through seniors. Dr. Frantz keeps her panel deliberately small, typically one-third to one-fourth the size of a conventional practice. Appointments run 45 minutes on average, and patients can reach her directly by text, email, or phone. Same-day and next-day visits are available. The practice charges labs at cost and generic medications at 15 percent over cost. Monthly membership starts at $85 for adults, $35 for children, and $200 for families. Small business owners can also purchase subscriptions for their employees.
