EXPERIENCE THE DIFFERENCE.

WHAT SETS US APART?

Healthcare the way it was meant to be—personal, local, and built on trust.

Not too long ago, a visit to the doctor felt familiar. You knew their name. They knew yours. They asked about your kids, your job, your weekend—not just your symptoms. But over time, healthcare became something else: impersonal, expensive, and tangled in red tape.

At The Town Doctor®, we saw that shift—and decided to do something about it.

We imagined a better way forward, one where families and businesses could access real care from real people, without having to navigate a broken system. So we built it: a direct primary care model that brings healthcare back to what truly matters—people.

For Families: Healthcare That Feels Like Home

We believe every family deserves more than just a quick appointment and a prescription. You deserve a healthcare team who knows your names, your stories, and your goals.

Whether you're chasing toddlers or caring for aging parents, our care is built around your life—with longer visits, same- or next-day appointments, and thoughtful attention at every step. We take the time to prevent illness, not just treat it, and to build a relationship that lasts through every season of life.

No waiting weeks to be seen.
No insurance headaches.

Just peace of mind—knowing we’re here when you need us.

For Businesses: A Healthier Team, A Stronger Bottom Line

We understand the challenges businesses face when it comes to providing quality healthcare. Rising costs, absenteeism, and employee burnout can take a toll.

That’s why we partner with employers who value their teams and want real solutions. Our model helps businesses offer affordable, high-quality care with:

Employer-sponsored membership options
Same- or next-day access with no co-pays
Health coaching and preventative care
Custom wellness plans that align with your company’s culture and goals

Whether you're a small local shop or a growing organization, our care supports your people—and your productivity.

Simple. Human. Better.

At The Town Doctor®, we believe healthcare should be simple and human again. No rushed visits. No confusing bills. No “in-network” stress.

Just honest care from a team who sees you, knows you, and shows up for you.

We see healthcare as a partnership—between you, and our team—all working together to help you stay well, perform your best, and live fully.

Proudly Local, Passionately Future-Focused

We're not just your care team—we’re your neighbors. We live here, shop here, raise our families here. So when you support The Town Doctor®, you're keeping your healthcare dollars local and investing in the health of the entire community.

We’re also preparing for the future by mentoring the next generation of clinicians and growing a model of care that’s sustainable, forward-thinking, and deeply rooted in relationships.

This is our story.
We’d be honored to be part of yours.
