About
Dr. Anthony W. Nioso is a family medicine physician and the founder of Nioso DPC in Jacksonville, Florida. He launched the practice in mid-July 2024 after years in insurance-based settings where administrative demands and volume pressures limited the quality of care he could deliver. Direct Primary Care gave him the structure to practice medicine the way he always intended.
Dr. Nioso treats a broad range of acute and chronic conditions, including diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, cardiovascular disease, coronary artery disease, asthma, arthritis, osteoarthritis, obesity, and sleep disorders. He also manages conditions such as dementia, stroke, and urinary incontinence, and addresses acute concerns like ear infections, strep throat, shingles, and urinary tract infections. Patient education is a central part of his practice. He spends real time helping patients understand their diagnoses, their options, and the lifestyle factors that shape long-term health. He stays on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so patients always reach him directly during an emergency.
