WELCOME TO LAKE AREA DIRECT CARE

I’m Dr. Melissa Rasberry

A board-certified Family Medicine physician and founder of Lake Area Direct Care.

Lake Area Direct Care was founded because I believe patients deserve more- more time, more attention, and more personalized care.

True healthcare is a partnership. You deserve direct access to your doctor, who prioritizes quality care over rushed visits.

Together, we can identify barriers to healthy habits, develop personalized plans to manage chronic conditions, prioritize preventative care, and more.

Let’s celebrate you and your family’s wins along the way.
