Direct Primary Care
Lowcountry Wellness Center is Charleston’s home for integrative, nurse-led Direct Primary Care (DPC).
In the DPC model, we remove the middleman—insurance—so you can have a direct, meaningful relationship with your provider. This empowers our team to deliver personalized, whole-person care without the time limits, coding constraints, or red tape of the traditional system.
Led by a compassionate team of Nurse Practitioners, we focus on longer visits, better access, and holistic solutions that support your body, mind, and overall well-being.
The result?
More efficient care, better communication, and higher satisfaction—for you and your family.
