Ames Direct Primary Care

Ames Direct Primary Care is a membership‑based Family Medicine clinic in Bryant, Arkansas that puts the patient‑doctor relationship at the center of care. By eliminating insurance billing for primary care, the practice can offer longer appointments—30‑60 minutes for routine visits and up to 90 minutes for new patients—so doctors have the time to listen, diagnose, and create personalized health plans. The clinic’s philosophy is built on transparency, accessibility, and a commitment to keeping healthcare affordable and comprehensive for every member.

Patients enjoy same‑day or next‑day appointments, unlimited office visits, and direct access to Dr. J. Nicki Ames and the care team via phone, text, or email. The membership includes preventive care, chronic disease management, acute illness visits, and discounted labs and wholesale‑priced medications. By focusing on relationship‑based care, Ames DPC aims to empower patients to stay healthier while reducing the administrative burdens of traditional primary care.

The practice also provides telemedicine visits, allowing members to connect with their doctor from home for routine follow‑ups or urgent questions. With a simple flat monthly fee and no surprise insurance bills, Ames Direct Primary Care offers a modern, patient‑first alternative to conventional primary care models.
