Same-Day Appointments
Less waiting. Less urgent care. High quality care.
Hassle Free Scheduling
You can schedule your own appointments by booking online or by calling the office.
More Time With Your Doctor

About Us
Healthcare is way too complicated. We are SWVA Direct Primary Care, and we believe that families should have access to care that's focused on the right things—you.
We know how busy you are, and how hard it can be to find time for yourself in a busy day at work or running to ballgames. At SWVA Direct Primary Care, our goal is to make sure that you get the attention and care you deserve, whether it's a routine checkup or a serious illness. We're not just trying to fix your symptoms—we want to understand what's going on with you, so we can come up with a reasonable plan of action that works best for you as an individual.

What People Say
SWVA Direct Primary Care provides communication and flexibility that physicians practicing in a traditional setting are not able to compete with.
If you’re sick of waiting months for doctors to simply refer you to another doctor & paying out the wazoo for it… [Dr.] Couch is your guy. He has lead me to understand more about my health & I am a big fan of the Osteopathic adjustments. 5 stars from our family!
Dr. Couch really takes his time to listen and evaluate symptoms and overall well-being. I actually felt like he was listening to what I had to say, which isn’t super common anymore.

What is Direct Primary Care?Direct Primary Care is a new model of healthcare where patients pay a monthly fee to have access to comprehensive medical care from a primary care physician. This model is different from traditional insurance-based healthcare because it eliminates the middleman and reduces the cost of care. Additionally, this allows us to provide more personalized care and remain available when you need us.

Is Direct Primary Care covered by insurance?No, Direct Primary Care is not covered by insurance. However, some patients choose to use their health savings accounts (HSAs) to pay for Direct Primary Care services.
