Your Health, Your Time, Your Doctor.

Located in North Myrtle Beach, we've removed the barriers that often come between you and your doctor, creating a space where open communication and personalized care can thrive.
Healthcare As it Should Be
Imagine a place where your doctor knows your name, your story, and your health goals. Where unhurried conversations and thoughtful care are the norm, not the exception. That's the essence of Direct Primary Care, and it's what we offer here at Coral DPC.
Whether you're a long-time resident, new to our coastal community, or simply seeking a more personalized approach to your health, Coral Direct Primary Care invites you to experience healthcare as it should be – attentive, comprehensive, and tailored to you.
We've all felt it – sitting in a cold waiting room, watching the clock tick by, knowing we'll have just a few precious minutes to share our concerns. Direct Primary Care (DPC) was born from a belief that you deserve better. It's healthcare that gives you time to breathe, to share, to ask questions. Here's how it works:

Coral Direct Primary Care: Where Your Health Comes First
Meet Doctor
Lyndsi Cress
There's a difference between being seen by a doctor and being known by one. Dr. Lyndsi Cress, a board-certified family physician trained at West Virginia University and West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine, built Coral Direct Primary Care on this distinction. Here, comprehensive medical care meets the time and attention needed to deliver it properly.
Drawing from years of experience in traditional healthcare settings, Dr. Cress recognized that meaningful care requires more than medical expertise – it requires time, attention, and a genuine connection with patients. That's why she chose the Direct Primary Care model, creating a practice where unhurried visits and direct access to your doctor aren't just promises but the foundation of every patient relationship.
