Our patients love Dr. Rabaut and they have given her high praise on our Google Review site. Here’s the most recent review for Dr. Rabaut:
Ohhh, the healthcare system. What an interesting collection of institutions! I wish more places were like Plum Health though. For a couple years, I was stuck with an insurance company that didn't have great PCPs and then had some job changes, which basically made relying upon insurance a complicated process. I remembered Plum Health from Demo Day and decided to reach out.
Absolutely loved the attention that I received from Dr. Rabaut. After having an experience with a PCP who rushed through my appointments and didn't actually listen to what I was saying about my own body, my experience with Plum Health was a breath of fresh air.
Here’s another review for Dr. Rabaut:
I have been Dr. Rabaut's patient for about a year now, and I have to say that she is HANDS DOWN the best doctor I have had. I email her dumb (and not so dumb) questions all the time and she always emails me back right away. Even on a Saturday. She is approachable and honest. When she listens, she is actually listening. I will be lucky if I get to be under her care for a very long time.
And here’s another recent review for Dr. Leslie Rabaut:
I have never had a visit to the doctor like this before. I have always had terrible amxiety going to the doctors. Here I didn't have to wait at all to see the doctor. Dr. Leslie Raubart came in and talked with me for 45 minutes!! (At my last doctor I would be lucky if I got 10 mintues) She was amazing and you can tell she truly cares. She is very good at asking you the right questions and getting all the details. When my blood results came back, she emailed me a very detailed message explaining what supplements and a plan of action for the future. I am so glad to have found this.
In summary, Dr. Leslie Rabaut is an excellent family medicine physician and she is accepting new patients at our Plum Health DPC office in Detroit, Michigan.

Plum Health DPC Welcomes Dr. Leslie Rabaut to the Detroit Office
Plum Health in Detroit adds a Spanish-speaking primary care physician
Detroit, Michigan, March 8th, 2021 - Plum Health DPC is pleased to announce that they have expanded access to primary care resources in Metro Detroit by hiring a fourth physician who is fluent in Spanish and English, Dr. Leslie Rabaut, DO.
We are excited to announce that Dr. Leslie Rabaut has joined our service at Plum Health DPC. She is a family medicine physician and she is accepting new patients.
Plum Health hired a fourth doctor because of the increasing demand for Plum Health’s services and the desire to be more easily accessible to patients of diverse backgrounds throughout Metro Detroit.
As we grow our practice, we aim to work with intention to serve our local community better. Adding a bilingual doctor is one of those steps.
Dr. Leslie Rabaut is passionate about forming strong relationships with her patients and is fluent in medical Spanish. Her clinical interests include functional medicine, preventative medicine, and integrative therapies that work with a patient’s natural physiology to encourage healing.
Dr. Rabaut is a graduate of the Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine and completed her residency training at Aurora St. Luke’s Family Medicine Residency in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She is excited about expanding access to primary care in Metro Detroit.
“I chose direct primary care so that I could have the time to get to know each of my patients as a unique individual which allows me to tailor my treatment to provide truly patient-centered care,” said Dr. Rabaut.
"We believe that healthcare should be affordable and accessible for everyone, that’s why we’re hiring another excellent physician who is bilingual – to expand access to care," says Dr. Paul Thomas, who for the last four-and-a-half years, has been serving residents in Detroit and beyond from Plum Health's Corktown office.
There are currently 960 members in the practice who are cared for by Drs. Paul Thomas, Raquel Orlich, and Jamie Qualls. Dr. Leslie Rabaut’s arrival will allow Plum Health to care for an additional 500 patients.
Direct primary care (DPC) physicians do not bill or use insurance. They provide their patients with steeply discounted medications, labs, imaging services, and procedures. The DPC model allows patients to have a direct relationship with their primary care physician by enrolling in an affordable subscription-based service, costing between $10 and $89 per month.
Plum Health doctors are available to patients not just in our offices, but by phone, text message, or video call. This connectivity makes getting care even more convenient for their patients.
Plum Health DPC currently operates two thriving locations in Corktown Detroit and Farmington Hills with doctors Paul Thomas, MD, Raquel Orlich, DO, and Jamie Qualls DO, MPH.
Dr. Leslie Rabaut will be practicing out of Plum Health’s Corktown Detroit office located at 1620 Michigan Avenue, Suite 125, Detroit, MI 48216.

More about Direct Primary Care
The direct primary care (DPC) model gives family physicians a meaningful alternative to fee-for-service insurance billing, typically by charging patients a monthly, quarterly, or annual fee (i.e., a retainer) that covers all or most primary care services including clinical, laboratory, and consultative services, and care coordination and comprehensive care management. Because some services are not covered by a retainer, DPC practices often suggest that patients acquire a high-deductible wraparound policy to cover emergencies.
Direct primary care benefits patients by providing substantial savings and a greater degree of access to, and time with, physicians.
