TRUSSVILLE, Ala. (Trussville Tribune) — Total Health Solutions is welcoming the community to its new office, just a stone's throw away from its previous one.
Though it was a short move, the new space is three times the size of their previous office, opening up the opportunity to treat more patients and expand wellness services.
The Trussville Area Chamber of Commerce celebrated the grand opening of the new office, located at 3220 Edwards Lake Parkway, Suite 108, with a ribbon cutting last month.
THS is a direct primary care provider where patients pay a monthly membership fee to receive primary care services instead of going through health insurance.
'I think it's an answer to the expense of medicine. People can't afford insurance,' said Dr. Eddie Thomas, who is the physician at THS.
'This is not an insurance replacement by any stretch, but for people who don't have insurance, it gives them access to healthcare at a reasonable cost.'

Thomas, a UAB medical school graduate who has practiced medicine for over 33 years, developed a passion for the direct primary care model because he says it allows him to build personal relationships with patients by spending quality time with them.
'I did the 25 patients a day for 20 years and it's like triage, so [here] I get to spend a lot more time with people and there's no rush to get everyone in and out,' Thomas said.
'We don't want anybody to ever feel like a number,' he added, saying that he is always available to patients after hours and on weekends.
THS specializes in both internal medicine and weight loss, and patients are able to come in the same day to see their doctor.
'People can come in an unlimited amount of times. There's no co-pays or deductibles, I mean, by the time you go to urgent care twice you've already paid up for a year for a membership here,' Thomas said.
'If people have insurance, great, if they don't, then it's a lot better fit for them because it's $70 a month and for that they get their physical exam, they get all their physical exams labs including EKG and circulation tests. We have medication here that we sell and dispense that is as cheap or cheaper than a drugstore because we go directly to the pharmaceutical clearing house.'
