Meet Dr. Sally Kurz, MD
Dr. Sally Kurz is a board certified family physician and loves taking care of whole families – from infancy through adulthood. She is particularly passionate about supporting moms and is also a certified lactation consultant (IBCLC). Additionally, she is board-certified in Lifestyle Medicine, which aims to prevent and treat chronic disease primarily with lifestyle approaches, including diet, exercise, sleep, and stress reduction. Additional clinical interests include addiction medicine, in particular treatment of opioid and alcohol use disorders.
She was born and raised in the small farming community of Wall, Texas. She attended college at Texas Tech University and completed medical school at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, TX. She went on to complete her family medicine residency at Mercy Family Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri, and then moved back to Texas as fast as she could.
During medical school, she completed the Creighton Medical Consultant training program through the Pope Paul VI Institute in Omaha, Nebraska, and enjoys implementing the principles of NaProTechnology in diagnosing and treating reproductive health issues. She is also familiar with other methods of NFP, including Marquette.
Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her husband and gaggle of children. Her hobbies include cleaning up messes she didn’t make, cooking dinners that ultimately decorate the floor, moving piles of clean laundry around, and taking on lofty craft projects.
About the name
The rocking chair sees us through many stages of life, from infancy to our golden years. It is a comfortable and familiar place at many points in life.
Here at Rocking Chair DPC, we believe in a doctor-patient relationship that holds that same stability, comfort, and familiarity. Here your family doctor is present for all life stages, available when needed, and someone who takes the time to know you well.
Finally, insurance-driven, fee-for-service medicine, by its nature, reduces primary care doctors to a measure of reimbursable productivity. This model pressures physicians to see as many patients per day as possible and then spend even more time documenting, coding, and filling out insurance paperwork. In the direct primary care model, your doctor steps off the hamster wheel of corporate medicine and takes a seat in a rocking chair.
