CARES DIRECT PRIMARY CARE

CARES Direct Primary Care offers a unique, membership‑based model that eliminates insurance middlemen, allowing patients to receive personalized, affordable primary care. Founded by Dr. Rodney Snead, a board‑certified emergency and family physician, the practice emphasizes longer face‑to‑face visits, same‑day or next‑day appointments, and direct communication through phone, text, or video.

The care philosophy centers on returning to the fundamentals of the doctor‑patient relationship: spending ample time with each patient, focusing on preventive health, chronic disease management, and addressing acute concerns without the pressure of copays or rushed visits. Patients can reach their physician anytime via cell or text, and the practice also provides telemedicine visits and home visits when schedules permit.

Services include unlimited office visits, same‑day appointments, direct physician cell/text access, wholesale labs, wholesale imaging, discounted medications, minor procedures, chronic disease management, preventive care, and pediatric care. Membership pricing is transparent at $60 per month for an individual adult, with a $100 family rate for couples and discounted rates for children.
