Rise Direct Primary Care is owned and operated by Brett and Dorian Billings. Brett is a Family Nurse Practitioner and Dorian is an ER Nurse. Texas-natives who love the outdoors, they spend most of their off days adventuring in nature with their three little boys.

Brett founded Rise on his commitment to providing the highest quality healthcare, that is both accessible and affordable.

While working as a primary care provider in a traditional, insurance-based practice, Brett felt stuck between the kind of care he wanted to give and the kind of care corporate health care would allow. In the typical insurance model, medical providers are often seeing 20-30 patients per day, typically only spending 5-10 minutes of actual face-to-face time with patients, and managing panels of 1,200-2,200 patients! Even the most well intentioned and efficient providers can’t take the time needed for each patient. Brett felt this model only allowed the bare minimums of someone’s health to be addressed.

That’s what led Brett to open Rise under the Direct Care model. This essentially cuts out the middleman (insurance) between patients and providers. By doing this and keeping our member numbers low, we are able to give each of our patients unparalleled access to care. This also frees us up to take as much time as needed to provide the highest level of health care for each and every patient.

When it comes to your health, we want to be the ones there to help you navigate it. You are not a 20-minute time slot on our calendar. You are a mom, a brother, a son, a friend; and we will be there when you need us!
