Primary Care Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant - Direct Primary Care
Confidential – Direct Primary Care Practice · Tyler, TX 75703
Job Description
An established Direct Primary Care practice in Tyler, Texas is seeking a patient-centered Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant to provide comprehensive family primary care. This is an opportunity to practice in a relationship-driven setting where providers have time to know their patients, address concerns thoroughly, and deliver thoughtful care without a high-volume, insurance-based workflow.
The role includes preventive care, chronic-disease management, acute visits, lab review, prescription follow-up, and coordination of care for patients from age one through adulthood. Appointments are typically scheduled for one hour, allowing providers to see approximately seven to eight scheduled patients per day while also addressing occasional urgent needs and patient follow-up.
The practice provides each provider with a dedicated Medical Assistant or LVN, uses the Elation EHR with AI-assisted charting, and draws labs in-house for send-out testing. The ideal candidate is a clinically confident primary care provider who values continuity, excellent communication, and an unhurried patient experience.
Key Responsibilities
- Deliver comprehensive primary care, preventive services, and chronic-disease management for a family patient population
- Evaluate and treat routine acute concerns and occasional same-day patient needs within the scope of primary care
- Conduct thorough, patient-centered visits; interpret labs and diagnostic information; and develop appropriate care and follow-up plans
- Manage patient messages, medication refills, lab reviews, care coordination, and referrals in a timely manner
- Perform routine in-office primary-care procedures consistent with training, credentialing, and clinic protocols
- Collaborate with the physician, advanced-practice provider, and dedicated clinical-support team to ensure a consistent patient experience
Qualifications
- Active Texas license as a Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant
- Current DEA registration and BLS/ACLS certification
- Two to three years of relevant family medicine, primary care, internal medicine, or urgent care experience preferred
- Comfort caring for patients across the lifespan, including pediatric patients

- Experience with common outpatient procedures, chronic-condition management, and EHR documentation preferred
Compensation & Benefits
- Base salary of **$115,000-$125,000**, commensurate with experience
- Comprehensive benefits package; details discussed during the interview process
- Paid time off and paid holidays
- Dedicated MA or LVN support for each provider
- Elation EHR with AI-assisted charting to reduce documentation burden
Schedule

- Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM
