Twin Cities · Beta

Find a doctor who still has time for you.

We connect Twin Cities patients with direct primary care doctors — real appointment time, no insurance runaround, a doctor who actually knows your name. Tell us what you need and we'll personally match you with someone nearby.

Free for patients, always. No account needed.

In plain terms

You've probably never heard the name — but you've wanted this.

"Direct primary care" isn't insurance, and it isn't urgent care. It's a small, growing group of doctors who work directly for their patients instead of an insurance company.

No insurance middleman

You pay your doctor directly, one flat monthly fee — no claims, no surprise bills, no fighting for a referral.

Actual time with your doctor

Most primary care visits run 7-10 minutes. DPC doctors carry far fewer patients, so visits run long and same-day access is normal.

A doctor who knows you

Text or call your doctor directly. Most people join for the relationship as much as the medicine.

Who this actually helps

Built for people insurance wasn't built for

Self-employed and freelancers

The average self-employed person spends more than $10,000 a year on health insurance premiums alone, before a single visit. Pairing a lower-cost high-deductible or catastrophic plan with a flat monthly DPC membership is often cheaper overall, with far better day-to-day access to a doctor.

Families on high-deductible plans

If your family's plan has a $5,000+ deductible, every visit feels like it costs full price. A DPC membership covers ongoing primary care for one flat fee, so a routine or sick visit does not come with a surprise bill toward your deductible.

The directory

Twin Cities direct primary care doctors

We're building this list one verified practice at a time. Every listing is confirmed directly with the doctor before it goes live.

We're in early beta. Listings below are samples of how a confirmed profile will look — panel status is illustrative, not live. If you're a Twin Cities-area DPC doctor, see "For Doctors" below to be listed for real.

How it works

A person reads every submission — not an algorithm.

1

Tell us what you need

A two-minute form: where you live, what kind of care you're looking for, and your timeline.

2

We match you personally

No algorithm. We match you by hand with a nearby doctor who fits what you described, based on real availability.

3

You book a consult

We introduce you directly. Most practices offer a free or low-cost meet-and-greet before you join.

A growing reason people switch

GLP-1 care, without the insurance runaround

Semaglutide and tirzepatide have real, published clinical results — but getting on one, and staying on it safely, is exactly the kind of ongoing care insurance-based primary care struggles to support.

Results backed by real trials

Published clinical trials found semaglutide produced ~15% average weight loss at 68 weeks, and tirzepatide up to ~21% at 72 weeks on the highest dose.

Insurance often says no

Many plans cover GLP-1s for diabetes but not weight loss — leaving patients to fight prior authorizations and denials mostly on their own.

DPC makes ongoing care possible

Safe titration means regular check-ins for dosing and side effects. A flat monthly membership means that access doesn't cost more every visit.

This isn't medical advice. GLP-1 therapy isn't right for everyone — ask a doctor whether it's appropriate for you.

Get matched

Tell us what you're looking for
