About
Welcome to Direct Primary Care New Braunfels, where we are putting patients first. You may be used to the traditional primary care model, but we offer a refreshing, patient-centered alternative called Direct Primary Care (DPC).

Why Choose Direct Primary Care?
DPC is designed to remove the complex, bureaucratic hurdles of the insurance-driven model, allowing your provider to focus entirely on you and your health. Here are the top reasons why we think DPC is the superior choice for your healthcare:
Affordable & Predictable Costs
No Surprises: A single, low monthly fee covers the vast majority of your primary care needs — from annual physicals to sick visits to chronic disease management.
Budget Clarity: Since we don’t bill insurance for our services, we are able to offer wholesale pricing on common medications, lab tests, and imaging, often saving you hundreds of dollars compared to using your insurance.
Unparalleled Access & Convenience
Same- or Next-Day Appointments: With a smaller patient panel, you will rarely wait days to be seen. You get an appointment when you need it.
Direct Contact: You have direct access to your provider via text, phone, or email, even outside of normal business hours. This means no more waiting on hold or dealing with answering services for simple questions.
Virtual Visits: Handle minor issues quickly and conveniently through telemedicine/virtual visits, without even having to leave your home or office.
No Surprises: A single, low monthly fee covers the vast majority of your primary care needs — from annual physicals to sick visits to chronic disease management.
Personalized, Comprehensive Care
Time: Our appointments are longer (30-60 minutes) because your membership fee pays for the time we spend with you. This time is used for in-depth conversations about your health, prevention, and wellness — not just treating the immediate illness.
Focus on Prevention: We have the time to truly proactive, focusing on preventative medicine, lifestyle changes, and keeping you healthy, rather than just treating you when you are sick.
Great for Everyone
No Insurance: DPC provides a vital, affordable safety net for your everyday health needs.
High-Deductible Plans (HDHP/HSA): Pair your DPC membership with a catastrophic or high-deductible plan for the best value — covering your day-to-day care with DPC and major events with insurance.
Chronic Conditions: Patients with conditions like diabetes or hypertension benefit greatly from frequent check-ins and better management without the hassle of co-pays for every visit.
