Hi, I’m Dr. David Bigley, and I’d like to personally welcome you to Forward Family Medicine (FFM). I started this practice with a simple belief: healthcare should be personal, accessible, and focused on you. In today’s fast-paced medical world, I know how rare it can feel to have a doctor who truly takes the time to listen and understand. That’s why I’m committed to bringing back the heart of patient care—by building deep, lasting relationships that go beyond quick visits and rushed conversations.
I’m a dual board-certified physician in Family Medicine (FM) and Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT), which means I’ve trained to care for the whole person, not just a set of symptoms. My background in osteopathic medicine allows me to take a hands-on approach to healing, whether that’s helping with chronic conditions, guiding you toward preventive health, or addressing musculoskeletal issues. It’s about treating you as an individual and working together to help you live a healthier, fuller life.
My passion for personal connection goes back to my upbringing. Growing up in a Jesuit educational environment, I was taught the importance of compassion, service, and “cura personalis”—care for the entire person. Those values have stayed with me throughout my medical journey, and they shape the way I practice medicine today. Listening, trust, and open communication are at the core of everything I do, and Forward Family Medicine was built with that same philosophy in mind.
After working in conventional healthcare settings, I saw firsthand how much the current system often rushes through patient care, leaving little room for meaningful connection. I wanted to create something different—a place where patients can feel truly heard and cared for. That’s why I started FFM, a Direct Primary Care (DPC) practice that cuts through the limitations of insurance-based models. Here, you’ll have more time with your doctor, access to me whenever you need it, and a care plan that’s tailored to you.
If you’re looking for a healthcare experience where you feel known, understood, and supported, I invite you to join us at Forward Family Medicine. I’m excited to partner with you on your journey to better health, and I’m honored to be a part of it.
Let’s move forward together.
