About
Dr. Phil Austin, MD is board‑certified in family medicine and has been practicing on the Outer Banks since 2013. Tired of insurance‑driven, assembly‑line medicine, he founded Dare Direct Primary Care to give patients more time, personalized attention, and a relationship‑focused model of care. He earned his medical degree with honors from the Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University and enjoys fishing, camping, gardening, and music when not with patients.
At Dare Direct Primary Care, Dr. Austin embraces the Direct Primary Care philosophy of eliminating middlemen, offering same‑day appointments, chronic disease management, and transparent pricing, all aimed at improving health outcomes while reducing costs for families.
