DPC basics
What is direct primary care?
You pay your doctor a flat monthly membership instead of going through insurance for primary care. That one change removes the incentives that create 15-minute visits and 3-week waits. Our doctors keep a small patient panel, so visits are long and access is direct. DPC is a recognized model under the Affordable Care Act — thousands of practices across the country run this way.
Is this insurance?
No. Membership covers primary care — the medicine you use most. It does not cover hospitalizations, surgeries, ER visits, or specialists.
Do I still need insurance?
Yes, and we'll say it plainly: keep coverage for the big stuff. Most members pair the membership with a high-deductible, catastrophic, or employer plan. Membership handles day-to-day care; insurance handles disasters.
Is DPC right for me?
Honestly — not for everyone. If you never see a doctor and never text one, you may not use what you pay for. Take the 60-second quiz on this site and see what your numbers look like. Take the quiz →
Membership
What does it cost?
Kids (birth–18) $60/mo or $720/yr. Adults 18–55 $120/mo or $1,400/yr. Adults 55+ $150/mo or $1,800/yr. That's the entire price list — no copays, no visit fees.
What's included?
Unlimited visits (90 minutes for your first, 60 after), same-day/next-day sick appointments, annual wellness visits, chronic disease management, personalized treatment plans, telehealth, and direct access to your physician by call, text, or email.
How do I join?
Start with a free meet-and-greet — text or call (501) 361-3249. See the clinic, meet Dr. McCormack or Dr. Guthrey, ask anything. If it fits, you enroll and book your first visit.
Care & access
Can I really text my doctor?
Yes. Members reach Dr. McCormack or Dr. Guthrey directly — phone, text, or email — during normal hours, and after hours for emergencies. Not a nurse line. Not a portal that answers in three business days.
Do you see children?
All ages, including newborns. Both doctors are board-certified pediatricians and internists, so the whole family sees the same practice.
What about labs, imaging, and prescriptions?
We offer discounted cash prices on labs and imaging — and if you'd rather run them through your insurance, we can still do that. See the price list on the pricing page. See prices →
What if I need a specialist or hospital care?
We refer you, share your records, and coordinate the care. That's part of the job — you're not handed a fax number and wished luck.
Do you do telehealth?
Yes. Sick, traveling, or can't leave work — we handle what we can remotely and tell you honestly when you need to come in.

What happens at a meet-and-greet?
About 20 unhurried minutes, free: tour the clinic, meet your doctor, ask anything — including "is this worth it for us?" No commitment, no sales pitch.
