We are thrilled to announce that Dr. Lauren Mixtacki has joined our practice! Dr. Mixtacki is a Wisconsin native, born and raised in Madison, and brings a wonderful combination of strong medical training and a deeply personal approach to patient care.

Dr. Mixtacki earned her degree in Cell and Molecular Biology from Winona State University before returning home to complete her medical degree at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health. She went on to finish her residency training at the Waukesha Family Practice Residency Program in 2018.

Like the other physicians at Advocate MD, Dr. Mixtacki truly believes in the power of the doctor-patient relationship. She was drawn to Family Medicine for its focus on preventative care, the broad spectrum of patients she gets to serve, and the privilege of walking alongside families through all of life’s stages. She sees her role not just as a physician, but as a teacher, guide, and advocate, which makes her a natural fit for our practice’s name and mission.

Dr. Mixtacki is excited to join Advocate MD because it gives her the time and space to practice medicine the way it was meant to be practiced, really listening to patients, learning their stories, and focusing on what matters most to them.

Outside the office, she enjoys family adventures with her husband Brian and their children, along with cooking, hiking, biking, camping, singing, and playing volleyball.

Dr. Mixtacki began seeing patients in late June, and we couldn’t be more excited to have her. If you’re looking for a new primary care physician, we’d love for you to consider enrolling with her today. Give us a call at 608-268-6211 or visit our Contact Us page to get started!

Last post we talked about why Direct Primary Care is different. This week, let’s get specific: what do you actually get with your DPC membership at Advocate MD?

Unlimited Access to Your Doctor

Your DPC membership includes unlimited office visits during regular hours, unlimited telephone consultations, unlimited email communication, and unlimited telemedicine visits, all at no additional charge. No copays, no surprise bills, no checking whether something is “covered.” You simply reach out when you need us.

Full Spectrum Family Medicine

We care for the whole family, from newborn well-child checks and sports physicals to chronic disease management for conditions like diabetes, hypertension, asthma, depression, and many more. Need to be seen for something urgent? We offer same-day appointments for acute issues, and we’re also available nights and weekends.

In-Office Procedures, Included

Many procedures that would require a separate specialist visit (and a separate bill) elsewhere are included in your DPC membership. These range from skin biopsies and cryotherapy to joint injections, EKGs, wound care, splinting, and even acute migraine treatment. In total, over 20 services are covered as part of your membership.

On-Site Pharmacy, Labs, and Imaging at Reduced Cost

We dispense over 100 medications right in our office at discounted wholesale prices, typically around one-tenth of retail pharmacy pricing. Point-of-care lab tests like strep, flu, urinalysis, glucose, and thyroid panels are done in-office and average just $5-10 per test. And when you need imaging, we offer discounted X-rays starting as low as $40, along with mammograms and bone density testing.

Affordable, Transparent DPC Membership Pricing

Monthly membership fees are based on age. Adult memberships range from $75 to $110 per month depending on age. Children are $55 per month, with a discount to $44 per month when two or more kids enroll with their parents. There’s a one-time enrollment fee of $99 per patient or $222 for a family. That’s it: no hidden fees, no deductibles, no confusing EOBs.

Four Convenient Locations

We have clinics in Middleton, Madison, Fitchburg, and Janesville, with hours Monday through Friday from 8:00am to 5:00pm and evening, weekend, and home visit availability by appointment.

Healthcare shouldn’t be complicated. With a DPC membership at Advocate MD, we make it simple so you can focus on what matters most: your health.

Ready to learn more about our DPC membership options? Call us at 608-268-6211 or visit our Contact Us page.
