the903np

A small primary care and wellness practice across from Longview Regional Medical Center, named for the area code it serves. Founder Charlsie Gillcoat, NP, tells the story on the practice website: while working for a large Dallas hospital system, she noticed that patients coming in from East Texas were affectionately called the 903-ers, and she wanted to build something back home that focused on prevention and access instead. The practice lists adult primary care and preventative care, management of acute and complex illnesses, wellness evaluations, minor in-office procedures, hospital and emergency room follow-ups, IV hydration services, and telemedicine visits. It sees patients 18 and older. There is also a concierge membership option aimed at people without insurance who want unlimited provider access. The office says it is in network with most major insurance carriers but asks patients to call and confirm, and it publishes its self-pay visit prices openly, which is a rarity. Same-day and next-day appointments are often available, and they answer texts.
