"Imagine being able to see a new family doctor without waiting for months. Imagine seeing a physician that allows 30 minutes to 1 hour per appointment. Imagine knowing exactly what your care costs are, without any hidden or surprise fees.

At HomeTown Direct Care, you don’t have to imagine, because this is the reality. Our Direct Primary Care model allows for quick scheduling, more relaxed and thorough office visits, and simple pricing. Meanwhile, our dedicated and experienced staff will help to ensure that your care is meeting our high standards.

Direct Primary Care, also known as DPC, is an increasingly popular practice model in which you, the patient, and your doctor engage in a straightforward relationship. We attend to the majority of your primary care needs, without the interference of a "middle man." In other words, we do not bill insurance for our services, which allows for transparent and affordable costs. Therefore, we can provide personalized, convenient, and exceptional healthcare."
