Southern Direct Primary Care

Southern Direct Primary Care Nurse Practitioner owned and operated Direct Primary Care practice in Bastrop county The brilliance of this model is its simplicity. What does this mean?

Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a movement that is returning healthcare to its roots and reconnecting patients with providers who really know them without the interference of the insurance middle man. With your low cost monthly membership, you have unlimited direct access to your provider and as many visits as you need with no additional costs or hidden fees. We decrease our overhead by not having to hire billing and administrative personnel so we can spend more time on patient care. Why did we choose the name Southern Direct Primary Care? We believe Southern Hospitality should be part of your healthcare experience. Showing kindness and warmth, where the Lord and our patients are welcome in an environment where politeness,forgiveness, helpfulness, compassion, charm (and good food!) is a way of life and things are never rushed. We believe in treating our patients the same way we would want to be treated so they will return. In fact, we don’t have a waiting room- we have a welcome room where you can grab a cup of coffee or tea, a bottle of water, and maybe even a homemade treat and then come sit with us and discuss your concerns.

Finding a healthcare provider shouldn’t feel like a guessing game.

Most people are used to:
• long waits for appointments
• rushed visits
• feeling like just another number

That’s not how we do things.

At Southern Direct Primary Care, we’ve built a model around:
✔️ time
✔️ access
✔️ real relationships

And now, you can meet us first — no pressure.

We’re offering a complimentary 15-minute Meet & Greet with Kelly so you can:
• ask questions
• learn how we’re different
• decide if we’re the right fit for your family

Because choosing your healthcare provider should be your decision.

I knew something wasn’t right.

Not just “a little off.”
Something was wrong.

I was more tired than usual.
My body felt different.
I didn’t feel like myself anymore.

And no one could tell me why.

So I kept going back.
Appointment after appointment…

Hoping this time someone would actually listen.

But the visits were quick.
Everything looked “fine.”
And I kept walking out feeling dismissed.

Like I was crazy.
Like maybe it was just in my head.

But deep down… I knew it wasn’t.

That’s the part no one talks about.

When you know something is wrong with your own body…
but no one has the time to help you figure it out.

That’s not good care.
That’s a broken system.

And it’s exactly why we built Southern Direct Primary Care differently.

We don’t rush you.
We don’t brush things off.
We actually sit down, listen, and figure it out with you.

Because you shouldn’t have to fight to be heard
when it comes to your own health.

LET'S BE HONEST.

Most people choose their healthcare provider the same way they’d choose a restaurant on a road trip…
whatever appointment is available first.

No chance to meet them.
No time to ask questions.
No idea if they’re actually the right fit.

That’s a lot of trust to put into a stranger.

At Southern Direct Primary Care, we believe patients deserve better than that.

Before you commit, you can schedule a complimentary 15-minute Meet & Greet with Kelly Matthews, NP — in person, by phone, or by video.

Ask questions.
Learn how our care model works.
See if it feels like the right fit.

Because choosing who takes care of your health shouldn’t feel like a blind date.

Bastrop County is booming. With over 114,000 residents and counting, our community is growing faster than healthcare infrastructure can keep up.

There are several clinics and primary care providers around town — but when demand outpaces supply, it often means:
• long waits for appointments
• rushed 7–10 minute visits
• limited time to address what’s really going on

That’s not the kind of care most people want — it’s what happens when providers are forced to rush.

At Southern Direct Primary Care in Smithville, we do things differently: longer visits, same-day access when you need it, and a provider who actually listens — without the insurance games.

Healthcare is confusing.

Four years ago today, I saw my very first patient at Southern Direct Primary Care.

At the time, I had no idea what that one visit would turn into — but I did know what I wanted healthcare to feel like:
• unrushed
• personal
• honest
• focused on people, not insurance

Four years later, Southern DPC is no longer just an idea — it’s a stable, growing practice serving families across Bastrop County with care that actually listens.

We’ve grown thoughtfully.
We’ve stayed true to our mission.
And we’re proud to still be doing things differently — and doing them well.

To every patient who trusted us, referred a friend, or believed in this model from the beginning — thank you. Truly.

And to those still looking for better care:
We’re here. We’re established. And we’re ready to welcome you.

✨ New Year’s Resolution for 2026: Stop putting yourself last. ✨

Women are incredible at taking care of everyone else —
their kids, their jobs, their families, their parents.
And year after year, their own health gets pushed to “later.”

Later turns into months.
Months turn into years.
And eventually, “I’ll deal with it someday” becomes burnout, frustration, and feeling unlike yourself.

💡 2026 is the year that stops.

This isn’t about shrinking yourself.
It’s not about a number on the scale or a quick fix.
It’s about finally giving attention to what’s been sitting in the back of your mind:

• Hormones that feel off
• Periods that aren’t normal
• Weight that won’t budge
• Fatigue, brain fog, poor sleep
• Metabolic health and long-term wellness
• Wanting answers — not just reassurance

At Southern Direct Primary Care, our membership model gives women something most healthcare never does:
Time.
Someone who listens.
A plan that actually makes sense for YOU.

Appointments with Kelly are available THIS WEEK.
If you’ve been waiting for a sign to finally take care of yourself — this is it.

💸 If your insurance renewal just went through the roof — you’re not alone.

Families everywhere are being priced out of coverage they can’t even use.
Higher premiums. Higher deductibles. Fewer options.

And many are asking the same question:
“What happens if we can’t afford insurance anymore?”

Here’s what you need to know:
👉 You don’t have to go without healthcare.

At Southern Direct Primary Care, we provide affordable, reliable primary care that covers most of your everyday health needs — without insurance.

✔️ Sick visits
✔️ Kids’ care
✔️ Chronic conditions
✔️ Women’s health
✔️ Ongoing access to a provider who actually listens

For a simple monthly membership — no copays, no deductibles, no surprise bills.

Many of our patients pair DPC with:
• a catastrophic plan, or
• a healthshare for major medical events

This approach is helping families get care again — without drowning in premiums.

🚨 We have immediate openings for new patients.
If insurance just became unaffordable, this may be exactly what you’ve been looking for.

💸 Can’t afford health insurance for 2026? You’re not alone.

Across Texas, families are opening renewal letters and realizing premiums, deductibles, and out-of-pocket costs have gone completely off the rails. Many are asking the same question:

“If we can’t afford insurance… what do we do?”

Here’s the truth:
👉 You don’t have to choose between care and affordability.

At Southern Direct Primary Care, we don’t replace insurance — but we do cover what families actually need day to day:
✔️ Sick visits
✔️ Well checks
✔️ Chronic condition management
✔️ Kids’ care
✔️ Women’s health
✔️ Ongoing access to a provider who knows you

All for a simple, predictable monthly membership — no copays, no deductibles, no surprise bills.

Many of our families pair DPC with:
• A catastrophic plan for major emergencies
• Or a healthshare like Zion for added peace of mind

That combination often costs far less than traditional insurance — and actually gives you access to care when you need it.

💙 If insurance feels out of reach, quality primary care doesn’t have to be.

New patient appointments available as soon as 1/7/26! We will be back in clinic on 1/2/26.
