WHY DIRECT PRIMARY CARE?

Because it's awesome.

It's modern medicine with an old-fashioned doctor-patient relationship.
It's affordable, personalized healthcare. Direct Primary Care is a growing movement within Family Medicine. It is a membership-based alternative to traditional, insurance-based care. For a low monthly fee, our patients get better access and a closer relationship with us. ​

We chose Direct Primary Care as our model because it allows us to spend more time with our patients. We have time to address the whole person and to be available when needed. ​

Charlottesville Direct Primary Care is a full-service family medicine clinic providing care to patients of all ages. We practice family medicine, managing acute and chronic illnesses, preventative care, urgent care, minor procedures as well as other specialized services. Come meet us. 
​
You're our patient. We're your doctor. It's that simple.

​We are so glad you are here!
We welcome individuals, families and employers.
This is a New Way of Practicing
