ABOUT US

Our name comes from Whychus Creek (pronounced “Why-chus”), which runs through Sisters, Oregon. Whychus, meaning “the place we cross the water" originates from the Sahaptin language used by Native Americans in the area.

The Direct Primary Care model allows you to access quality primary care; the gateway to all other medical care, without the hassle of dealing with office staff, no returned phone calls and overall delays to your care due to the failing medical system.

We can offer this at an affordable monthly cost because we do not charge your insurance for our services. A typical primary care provider charges insurance based on billing codes resulting in non transparent costs for the provider and the patient. However, we do use your insurance for labs, imaging and referrals; meaning you come to us, we then use your insurance for all other services, so it does not go to waste. Essentially, we are cutting out the middleman resulting in quality medical care.

DPC is not an insurance plan, and we recommend having insurance in addition to our services for hospitalizations, specialty care, and surgical procedures. Many DPC patients opt for low-cost, high-deductible insurance. We also recommend Life flight Network, Sisters Country FireMed Membership

Meet Your Provider

Robyn Lopez, DNP, FNP-BC, received her Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) in 2008 from Indiana University and spent over 11 years as an accomplished ER and Trauma nurse. She then went on to receive her Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) from the University of California at Irvine, where she graduated magna cum laude and is now a practicing Board-Certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-BC).

Robyn has also received training in injectable aesthetics, getting her certification from Aesthetic Medical Educators Training (AMET) in 2008 in Chicago. She mentored under a world-renowned plastic surgeon in Laguna Beach, California, and has kept her skills current with continuing education and moonlighting as an aesthetic provider over the years.

Robyn’s greatest passion is complex medical discovery; helping patients who struggle with conditions not yet diagnosed or have been blown off by other providers. Robyn uses evidence-based practice, so her clinical decision-making is always supported by current research and her top priority is safety. With that, she also believes in thinking outside the box and supports a holistic & integrative approach to medicine. She strives to develop lasting relationships with her patients and supports a judgment-free, partnership style of care in her practice.

She is also a yoga instructor and mental health advocate. During her time at UCI she was mentored by Dr. Dana Rose Garfin, an accomplished and award-winning mental health researcher on her dissertation which was published and can be found at  https://escholarship.org/uc/item/6mp6d3hj

Robyn is married to a retired Navy SEAL and has three children, including twins. She enjoys spending time with her family and pets, reading, cooking, and snowboarding.

    At Whychus we are medical detectives! This service is for non-members who are struggling with an illness that has not yet been diagnosed or investigated by conventional providers. It typically includes a detailed health history, comprehensive labs, other diagnostic modalities and a deep dive research approach. Several patients have become well after this service after years of suffering.

    This is a collaboration between provider and patient and treatment can range from pharmaceuticals to supplement protocols. We will always base your plan around your beliefs and comfort level.

    A typical medical discovery case is ongoing and billed weekly. The cases we have worked so far are roughly 2-4 hours for the first week or two, then greatly reduced once we make progress. You can stop this service at anytime if you feel you have received enough information/answers.
