About Merlin Direct Primary Care
Merlin Direct Primary Care, founded in 2025 by Dr. Ramón Diez-Barroso in San Antonio, Texas, offers a patient-centered approach to healthcare, focusing on building genuine relationships and providing personalized, high-quality primary care. As an alternative to the traditional rushed, high-volume healthcare model, Merlin DPC emphasizes unrushed appointments and direct access to the physician via phone and text message. The practice aims to improve patients' health and lives through comprehensive services, including preventive care, acute visits, and office procedures, all within a welcoming and accessible setting. Merlin Direct Primary Care operates on a membership-based model, allowing patients to pay a straightforward annual fee for comprehensive services. This direct primary care (DPC) approach enables lasting relationships between the doctor and patients, fostering a deep understanding of their medical history and personalized guidance on wellness, prevention, and treatment. Dr. Diez-Barroso is bilingual in English and Spanish, serving a diverse community. Members benefit from same-day or next-day visits, virtual telehealth visits, and quick response times to health questions. The practice provides services such as sick visits, wellness care for men, women, and children, and management of chronic medical conditions. Merlin DPC also offers transparent, low negotiated prices on labs and radiology, along with simple in-office procedures. Dr. Diez-Barroso's diverse background, including surgical training and experience in healthcare entrepreneurship, has shaped his belief that great medical care should be efficient, thoughtful, and human. At Merlin DPC, patients experience healthcare that is personalized, unrushed, and built around their needs, with easy scheduling and comprehensive care without the hassle of navigating insurance.
