William Nields, MD

"I chose a medical career to help people and am proud to say that after all these years I still receive my greatest reward from seeing people set free from their health struggles to live their best life. In primary care I have the privilege of developing lasting relationships with my patients which allows me to help them as a whole person: mind, body, and Spirit. With Direct Primary Care I am able to serve people in my community with a spirit of excellence at a fair price.

I graduated from the University of Colorado in 1993 and spent 5 years pursuing a career racing off road bicycles. During this period I worked many jobs to support myself and travelled to many places around the world. The experiences I gained during this period are invaluable to my career as a Medical Doctor. At 27 years old I was accepted into the University of South Florida College of Medicine in Tampa. In 2002 I graduated and moved to Jacksonville, FL where I entered residency at the Mayo Clinic. My years at Mayo taught me to be a Doctor, but my training didn't end there. I continue to pursue learning and have developed expertise in lifestyle medicine, functional medicine and the latest advances in traditional western medicine.

"Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a more efficient way to provide primary care medical services when and where the patient needs them. Patients and their DPC Doctor contract directly without added costs and interference from middlemen. Patients join a DPC practice as a member and receive ongoing primary care services without copays or surprise bills. Patients may opt to receive care with convenient online scheduling and appointment options. Patients benefit from direct access to their doctor through text, email and phone calls. DPC doctors don’t spend their time satisfying a third party payor’s requirements (an ever increasing burden on Doctors) so they can spend their time with you. This means extended appointments and more time with your doctor. Bold City DPC provides urgent care at the discretion of the Doctor. Wounded weekend warrior? We have you covered. Sick while travelling? You can still reach us A DPC member has access to deep discounts on medications, lab and radiology tests. How is all this possible? By eliminating everything that doesn’t contribute directly to patient care, DPC practices can provide excellent care when a patient needs it. Without the added expense and interference of administrative middlemen a patient and doctor can spend all the healthcare dollars on you."
