Dr. Lindsey and her children


“ Insurance companies, whether private or governmental, are compelled to pay for health-promoting measures. This, in turn, encourages physicians to offer such treatments in earnest in order to be compensated. I decided that I did not want to be incentivized to conduct procedures and prescribe multiple medications to my patients in order to make a living. That’s why I’ve embraced the Direct Patient Care model in my practice. I can spend time learning what is best for each patient as an individual and help them chart their own health care journey.”

A lifelong musician, Ali spends her free time writing music, playing bass guitar and performing with other local female musicians in a variety of local and national venues. Through her music she hopes to encourage young women to learn to play and perform, and to help carve out a space in the music scene for the expression of women of all ages.
