ENROLL NOW COMPARE PLANS

Lowcountry Wellness Center is Charleston’s home for integrative, nurse-led Direct Primary Care (DPC).



In the DPC model, we remove the insurance middleman so care is delivered directly between patients and their care team. This allows us to focus on meaningful relationships, continuity of care, and thoughtful medical decision-making—without insurance-driven restrictions or rushed visits.


Led by a compassionate team of Nurse Practitioners, our practice emphasizes longer, scheduled visits, proactive care, and a whole-person approach that supports physical, mental, and overall well-being.


The result is a more streamlined healthcare experience, clearer communication, and care that prioritizes prevention, understanding, and long-term health—delivered during regular business hours.
