Texas has a primary care crisis — and cities like Midland, Odessa, Lubbock, Amarillo, Tyler, San Angelo, and Beaumont are feeling it hardest. With 228 of 254 Texas counties designated as healthcare shortage areas, getting a primary care appointment can mean waiting weeks or driving hours. Direct Primary Care offers a better way: a flat monthly membership that gives you same-day access, longer visits, and a doctor who actually knows you — no insurance runaround required.
