Less back and forth with other staff. Your call or text goes directly to Dr. Couch, who will answer promptly.
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
We cap our patient panel at 650 patients, which translates to longer appointments. Since we don't bill insurance, there is less time spent on a computer and more time listening to you.
Transparent Pricing
We will clearly list services included in membership. We offer discounted labs. We hope to eliminate some of the guesswork and confusion around paying for your healthcare.

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.
