Efe Sahinoglu, MD, is a full board certified family medicine physician. He is from Montgomery, Alabama. He attended Auburn University (Auburn, Alabama) where he finished his bachelor’s in chemical engineering with honors, and worked as an engineer before attending medical school at the University of Alabama School of Medicine. He received his third and fourth years of clinical education from the Medical School’s main campus in Birmingham. Afterwards Dr. Sahinoglu completed his family medicine residency at University of Alabama Family Medicine Residency Program.
Having spent the past 20 years in Alabama, Dr. Sahinoglu wanted to stay in Alabama and serve its residents. As he was introduced to the direct primary care model of practice in his last year of training, he realized this model would allow him to provide quality primary care the way he always envisioned. This included more time with patients without restraints or interferences on patient care by insurances. After doing thorough research, doing close-up training with a physician in a Direct Primary Care practice in North Alabama and attending a national conference on this practice model, he started Birmingham Direct Primary Care clinic in Birmingham, AL in Fall 2018.

Dr. Efe is the best. Courteous, capable, responsive. This was our first experience with Direct Primary Care (DPC) and I couldn't be more pleased. Unfettered access, transparent pricing, same or next day appointments, excellent coordination of care, more face time with the doctor - everything I hoped it would be. Birmingham people - do yourselves a favor - look in to Birmingham Direct Primary Care and Dr. Efe Sahinoglu. He keeps every promise, and I don't feel like just a name on a chart.
I HIGHLY recommend BDPC. Dr. Sahinoglu is extremely committed to the care and health of his patients and is great with kids! My daughter has never had a better experience with a doctor and asked to go back after we left 😂. I could not have asked for anything better in a physician. He really seems to care and is always available and I truly feel like my family and I are in great hands.
Best Doctor I have ever experienced! Has patients best interest in mind! Great price and great value!
There are simply not enough words to explain how wonderful Dr. Sahinoglu is. His practice has been a blessing and I highly recommend him. He is compassionate and knowledgeable and in this day in age when medical care and cost have become such a source of stress, he has relieved that stress during a difficult time. Dr. Sahinoglu provides quality and compassionate care that cannot be beat!
Amazing Doctor and better human being! My son and I were traveling for baseball, and he rearranged his schedule to help us with his ear. So gracious with his time and personal approach. I applaud Doc for being a pioneer in Direct Primary Care and reminding us how comforting it is to have a personal doctor truly caring for your health.
This guy is awesome, and his setup is unbelievable but true...you can go see him/e-chat/voicemail/e-portal communicate with him...He’s saved me $160 per month on one doc alone, and my monthly prescription bill for just one med (even at Walmart using a GoodRx card) has dropped from $300.00 per month to $20.00 per month. Another med dropped from $60.00 to $4.00 per month. His card says up to 95% savings on meds, and it’s no bull...and NOBODY wouldn’t benefit from what he offers. I LOVE this guy!
Great visit with Dr. Efe. I feel like he’s going to be a fantastic provider based of his attention to what I had to say, detailed questions and length of visit. I definitely didn’t feel like I was rushed like I do at every other doctor’s office.
All in one. I get treated like a patient not as a check. He takes his time to listen and doesn't rush. I can also get my medication before I leave the office. I would recommend BDPC Dr. Efe to anyone. Low monthly payments, ability to contact the Dr via text, email or phone is fantastic.
Best doctor visit ever the doctor is very professional and the nurse was awesome !!!!
Had to be seen AGAIN this morning bc my ear infection and sinus infections still havent cleared up. This was my first time seeing Dr. Sahinoglu (aka Dr. Efe) but it was a great experience!
If you dont have any health insurance google direct primary care in your area. Its a monthly membership fee and no copays or extra money for office visits. You get unlimited visits and they have an inhouse pharmacy so the prescriptions are just a few dollars. They do wellness visits, sick visits, pap smears and all sorts of things. Plus if you have to have things done with an outside entity like blood draw labs its cheap. For example im going next week to get my sugar levels and thyroid tested and some other stuff and its less than $15. And my prescriptions he gave me today (Z pack, a nasal spray, and some steroid pills) were all just $9!!!! I spent $65 on meds last week that the urgent care gave me plus $175 to be seen. I could have saved $170!!!!
The Direct Primary Care (DPC) concept is awesome and is designed to keep costs down for the patients and allows doctors to spend as much time with patients as they want to and not be dictated to about how they will treat patients.

Love having Dr. Sahinoglu as my primary care Doctor. Love this service! Very personal and very nice having direct access. He has helped me get my blood pressure under control! Looking forward to being with them for years to come.
Thank you so much Dr...You really do go well beyond what is expected and I can't thank you enough.
Had surgery [at a below market-value self-pay price arranged by our clinic], it went good. Thank you for your help. Wouldn’t have happened without you!
I highly recommend Birmingham DPC. Dr. Sahinoglu is very kind, compassionate and truly listens to your concerns. If you can't afford the high deductibles and monthly premiums of health insurance, this is the solution for primary care. This is perfect for small businesses who cannot provide health insurance to their employees. You pay a low monthly membership price and get the benefits of no copays, minimal to no wait times, and 24/7 access to your physician.
Best doc in town. In and out in less than five minutes!
My employees use him. He has been a great asset to them.
Wonderful doctor! He has been great for our company and we highly recommend his services!
Dr. Efe is a consummate professional who actually cares about the health and well-being of his patients. Dr. Efe is patient and takes the time to listen to the concerns of his patients while providing great medical care.

This is the way medicine should be! Dr. Efe is in this for all the right reasons. Kind, compassionate and caring. Everyone should have this kind of care and everyone can afford this kind of physician care with Direct Primary Care. Most people pay more for their cell phones! I highly recommend this method of primary care.
