Vanguard Family Medicine

Vanguard Direct Family Medicine is a direct primary care practice in Murfreesboro run by Dr. Christine Hoffman, a family physician who limits her panel to 600 patients. Patients pay a monthly membership fee instead of billing insurance, which covers unlimited office visits, extended visits, annual physicals and minor procedures such as simple lesion removal and laceration repair. The practice also offers wholesale pricing on outside labs, radiology and in-office generic medications.

Members can reach the office by phone, email, text or online, and the practice says it provides care 24/7, with after-hours and weekend messages handled by text or email for non-emergencies. Emergency office visits are available at the doctor's discretion. New patients can request a meet and greet before joining. The office is at 237 C Castlewood Dr. in Murfreesboro, and the practice says it serves residents of Rutherford County.
