KaufCare Founding Physician Network

Leave the night shifts. Keep practicing emergency medicine at a high level.

KaufCare is building direct acute care: physician-led, same-day, transparently priced care for patients who need more than routine urgent care but do not necessarily need a hospital emergency department.

We want to meet experienced, board-certified emergency physicians who may be interested in helping bring this model to future communities.

Emergency medicine should have a second act

Emergency physicians accumulate decades of judgment, procedural skill and calm decision-making. That experience should not be lost simply because overnight shifts, hospital bureaucracy and relentless throughput become unsustainable.

The missing middle in acute care

Traditional urgent care is generally built for common, lower-complexity problems. Hospital emergency departments are built for life-threatening illness, major trauma and patients requiring advanced hospital resources. Between them is a large group of patients with urgent, painful or procedural problems who frequently get redirected to the ER because the first clinic lacks the experience, equipment or operational model to help them. KaufCare was built for that gap.

What practicing at KaufCare involves

• Emergency-medicine judgment
  Practice at the level you trained for. Risk stratification, undifferentiated complaints and real decision-making — not protocol-driven triage.
• Advanced procedures
  Laceration repair, abscess drainage, dislocation reduction, fracture splinting, cyst excision and foreign body removal, performed on site.
• Diagnostics at the point of care
  On-site digital X-ray, bedside ultrasound and EKG, read by the treating physician during the same visit.
• Transparent patient pricing
  Every price is published before the visit. No surprise billing, no facility fees and no coding pressure shaping clinical decisions.
• Physician ownership and community
  A physician-led organization where clinical standards are set by practicing emergency physicians rather than by a hospital system.
• Shared technology and follow-up
  Scheduling, charting, imaging review and structured patient follow-up run on shared systems, so each location starts with working infrastructure instead of building it alone.
