Our Mission
The symbol in our logo is an enso, a symbol from Japanese calligraphy symbolizing the freeing of the mind so the body can create. Since its inception, Enso Direct Care has been committed to freeing our practice from the constraints imposed by traditional medicine by offering care that is innovative, direct, and unburdened. We choose to simply focus on meeting our members exactly where they are. In a sense, Enso is committed to rediscovering what individualized and creative primary care means.
The Enso Method is responsive and adaptive, and as a team, we strive to embody these traits. We have discovered new and different ways to engage with and care for our members. We readily use tools considered unconventional in traditional medicine. For example, we have found that text messaging brings efficiency to healthcare delivery, and we have learned that if you listen hard enough, patients will likely tell you exactly how you can help them. These are just a few examples of the hundreds of ways the Enso Method has changed over time.
There is one idea in the Enso Method that we are committed to never changing: affordability. To continue to rediscover and redefine primary care, we recognize that the way our clinic functions must be sustainable. Further, we are not attempting to solve the global healthcare crisis, but we are doing all we can to improve it for our members, and so we busy ourselves with action, rather than the telling.
So, what IS Enso? Enso really is a giant question mark. We are a healthcare team simply asking how we can help you, and carefully listening for your response.
About Us - Who We Are
Enso Direct Care has been years in the making, and more likely decades, as the Direct Primary Care (or DPC) model of patient care has emerged from the dreadful quagmire which is our current model of primary care medicine. Brad (Doc) Faglie, MD, and Casey Furlow, FNP-C, started Enso Direct Care in order to jump headfirst into a more comprehensive way to care for patients. The Enso team includes Kelsey Ackerman, FNP-C, counselor Megan Nichols, LCSW, practice manager Amber Edwards, Brionne Jackson, Sandie Duffer as well as the beloved (but firm) certified medical assistant Kathy Looney.
Enso Direct Care opened its doors in April of 2021 near Rhome, Texas, northwest of the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex. It’s mission is to provide the best most comprehensive primary care to a limited number of patients. The size of the patient panel will be determined by the comprehensiveness of care that can be provided. Having worked “in the trenches” together for years, the Enso team understands that care for a patient must include care for both the mind and the body. Understanding that the current model of healthcare delivery, with it’s limited access and time spent with the patient, does not deliver adequate care. The failed insurance industry has added a financial benefit to changing to a DPC practice as well. There is no better time to step away from what is common and insufficient and into something new, intimate, and comprehensive.
