Texas Direct Medical Care | Top Doctors in Austin

Texas Direct Medical Care is a veteran-owned direct primary care practice in Northwest Austin, founded by board-certified family physician Dr. Cliff Porter, MD, PhD, a retired U.S. Army colonel and former medical director of several Travis County urgent care clinics. Instead of billing insurance, members pay a flat monthly fee that covers unlimited visits, same-day urgent care, in-clinic procedures, EKGs, and direct call, text and email access to their clinician, including after hours. Appointments typically run 30 to 60 minutes, in person or by telemedicine. The team manages hypertension, Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, heart health screening, weight loss, migraines, arthritis and chronic pain, and asthma and allergies, with routine labs at wholesale prices. Families, seniors and Medicare-eligible patients are welcome, and a second clinic in Creedmoor offers on-site X-ray.
