Founder of the Free Market Physician Clinics
Welcome from Dr.
Sheppard, D.O.
Thank you for considering the Free Market Physician Clinic for your health care! In 2014 I opened the Free Market Physician clinic in Neosho with three goals.
First, I wanted to restore the physician/patient relationship. I wanted to be a doctor that my patients could talk to and actually be accessible to my patients.
Second, I wanted to restore customer service to medical care.
Third, I wanted to restore sane pricing and transparent pricing to medical services.
So, I opened an insurance-free membership clinic. My patients pay a monthly fee that covers all of their visits, including guaranteed same-day visits, and access to their physician 24/7 by phone, text, and email. Our labs and medications are provided at cost.
This approach has been a success. We now have a growing staff with offices in Neosho and Joplin and new patients joining us daily. Most importantly, we have been able to break out of the insurance model and provide health care the right way- working directly for our patients.
If you are tired of status-quo health care and would like to try a more personal approach to your medical care, visit us at a Free Market Physician Clinic, where we are doing our best to restore simplicity and freedom to health care.
MEET YOUR PHYSICIANS
Both Dr. Lyman and Dr. Lauren Wostrel hold M.D. degrees from Ross University School of Medicine. At medical school, Dr. Wostrel tricked Dr. Wostrel into marrying the other and both agree the trickery has paid off with the addition of three little Wostrels. They now have a daughter Havalah, and two boys, Hazaiah and Hezekiah.
DR. LYMAN WOSTREL
M.D. – CASSVILLE
Dr. Lyman Wostrel is originally from a farm/ranch in Nebraska. He received an Economics degree and an additional Finance degree from the University of Nebraska. He also heavily studied computer engineering in Lincoln. Dr. Wostrel worked in the Stock Market for several years, then worked as an engineer in the oil industry then as a supervisor. He then decided to attend medical school and emptied his bank account. After experiencing the disappointment of modern medicine in residency, he and his wife moved to rural Mount Vernon to join the growing Direct Primary Care movement by opening Zion Asher Family Physicians.
DR. LAUREN WOSTREL
M.D. – CASSVILLE - JOPLIN - NEOSHO
Dr. Lauren Wostrel is originally from North Texas where she graduated as valedictorian and followed her basketball scholarship to play for Central Christian College. She earned a degree in Natural Sciences. She then entered Ross University School of Medicine to receive her M.D. where she me Dr. Lyman Wostrel. They both got to experience firsthand the mismanaged medical system. Through opening Zion Asher Family Physicians, she has been able to prove that compassion and sweetness can still exist in a doctor.
The FREE MARKET PHYSICIAN Difference
Dr. Lyman and Dr. Lauren Wostrel have worked with Free Market Physician Founder Dr. Joseph Sheppard since 2018, so when he discussed an opportunity to take on an already established Cassville direct primary care clinic, it was a perfect fit. Both doctors care for patients under Zion Asher Family Physicians and Free Market Physician to continue their passion to care for people in the way they should be.
