Brett Billings is a board-certified family nurse practitioner and the founder of Rise Direct Primary Care.

After nearly a decade working in the emergency department, Brett pursued his passion for longitudinal, relationship-based care by earning his Master of Science in Nursing from the University of Texas Arlington's nurse practitioner program.

It was during his years in a traditional insurance-based primary care setting that Brett recognized a growing disconnect between the care he wanted to give and the care the system allowed. That frustration became the motivation to build something different — a practice where patients come first, visits aren't rushed, and the focus is on genuine partnership. Rise Direct Primary Care was born from that vision!

Brett takes a holistic approach to wellness, working with men, women, and children with a particular emphasis on Men's Health. With nearly 15 years of medical experience spanning emergency and primary care, he brings both clinical depth and heartfelt dedication to every patient relationship.

Outside the clinic, Brett is a devoted husband and active father to three energetic boys. You'll often find him outdoors with his family, leading by example when it comes to health and an active lifestyle.
