A micropractice is a one-physician office without nurses, medical assistants, or other support staff. All aspects of the patient experience- from scheduling to consultation to follow up results calls will be handled personally by Dr. Fick. Patients cared for in a micropractice model experience individualized, timely, and compassionate holistic care directly from their doctor.

No. Niche Medical is an alternative primary care solution for patients not needing frequent-enough healthcare access to warrant an ongoing membership, but who desire the benefits of direct physician care.
