What is Direct Primary Care?
Direct Primary Care is an alternative way to access your primary care physician. It allows you and your physician the ability and time to build personal relationships, ensure that you are heard, and enter into shared decision making that fits your life and healthcare goals. The benefit of the model is that you can take the reins of your own health. You and your physician can focus on preventative health and lifestyle changes to reduce your risks and costs for decades to come. By not being constrained to work through CMS and private insurance companies we can reduce costs, avoid insurance markups, go away with hidden fees, and be 100% transparent.

Meet Dr. Buls
Hi everyone! I’m Dr. Buls but I prefer for my patients to call me Justin. I was born and raised right here in Kalispell, MT. Class of 95! My family means the world to me. I have 6 wonderful children and an amazing wife that I wouldn’t know what to do without. We all love to spend time outdoors whether it be fishing, hunting, riding dirt bikes, skiing, or playing in the lake. My children also keep us very busy with their athletics year-round with basketball, football, and dance. Not only are they athletic but they all are super smart, they get it from their mom! If you ask my Mom she would tell you from a very young age that I knew I was going to be a doctor. It was always a dream of mine, no questions asked. Helping people was in my genes. My mom worked in the school system and my dad was a paramedic/firefighter. There isn’t anything in the world greater than helping people achieve optimal health. My biggest flex is I listen to my patients. I have spent many days a patient myself so I can empathize with them. I want to make things better for an all-around better health mentally, physically, and emotionally.
Dr. Buls Education
I attended Montana State University and received a Bachelor’s of Science in Microbiology. From there I was accepted into the University of North Dakota School of Medicine. My family medicine residency training was done at Altru Family Medicine Residency in Grand Forks, North Dakota. I also completed a one-year fellowship in high risk obstetrics training. After graduation, I worked as a rural full spectrum family medicine physician which then brought me to become an educator for residents.
