About Direct Primary Care
More Time. More Care. Less Hassle.
Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a revolutionary approach to healthcare that puts patients first. At Clear Health Direct Primary Care, we have a direct relationship with our patients—no insurance middlemen, no hidden rules—just high-quality primary care for an affordable monthly membership. Our model allows us to spend the time you need, handle most medical issues right in the office or online, perform minor procedures, and reduce unnecessary specialist referrals. Members also enjoy significant savings on medications, labs, and imaging. By focusing on patient care rather than insurance bureaucracy, DPC practices like ours thrive nationwide, with over 2,000 clinics successfully delivering personalized, accessible healthcare.
Our Story
I’m Nicholas Jones, MD, a board-certified physician who left traditional insurance-based primary care after seeing firsthand how little control doctors had over patient care. Frustrated by the shift from patient-focused medicine to insurance-driven metrics, I founded Clear Health Direct Primary Care on November 6, 2023, starting with a part-time medical assistant.
​
From well before day one, we immersed ourselves in the Direct Primary Care movement—touring practices across the country, attending conferences, and connecting with other physicians to learn how to build a patient-centered practice. Along the way, I became active in shaping healthcare policy in Oregon. I helped introduce House Bill 2540, allowing patients to apply cash-priced services toward insurance deductibles, saving time and money. I also contributed to Senate Bill 951, one of the nation’s strictest corporate practice of medicine laws, which removes non-competes, gag clauses, and restrictive employment contracts—helping keep physicians independent and local.
​
Today, our practice has grown to include my wife, Cassandra Elizondo, FNP, and Dr. Autumn Conde, DO, alongside multiple medical assistants and a receptionist, all dedicated to giving patients the time, attention, and care they deserve. In just two years, we’ve not only built a thriving clinic but helped strengthen the DPC community in our area. Our mission remains clear: to make primary care accessible, affordable, and truly patient-centered, while advocating for patients and physicians alike.
