Clifton Straughn, MD

"Dr. Straughn has been caring for patients in Anderson for 35 years. He joined Direct Access MD to spend more time with his patients and focus on their needs. He graduated from Bowman Gray School of Medicine in 1982, then completed his Family Medicine Residency at AnMed in 1985. Dr. Straughn is married to Sandy, and they have a daughter attending Nurse Practitioner School at Anderson University. They enjoy spending time fishing on the coast."

"Direct Access MD is a new approach to health care. So, what's different than in a traditional clinic? Direct Access does not accept insurance. This means you can have a relationship with your doctor with out the intrusion of a middle man, all for a low monthly membership fee. No surprise medical bills. No hassles. Just quality, honest health care, the way it was meant to be. Dr. Cianciolo, Dr. Purcell, Dr. Straughn, and Dr. Jones will limit their practice to 600 patients each — the average physician has more than 2,500 patients. Fewer patients means more time with you when you need your doctor. When the doctors are not seeing patients, they are able to coordinate your care and research the latest advances in treatments. Your well-being is their top priority."
