About

Dr. Brett Corson, MD, is a board-certified family medicine physician and the founder of Salt Lake Direct Primary Care, a practice built around a more personal, relationship-driven model of care. After earning his medical degree from the University of Iowa in 2002, he completed his family medicine residency at the University of Utah and went on to practice in a wide range of clinical environments, including rural reservations, urgent care settings, and community clinics serving uninsured populations. His diverse background shaped a broad clinical skillset and reinforced his belief in accessible, patient-centered primary care.

Dr. Corson ultimately transitioned away from traditional insurance-based systems to create a smaller, more focused practice where he could spend more time with patients and build long-term relationships. Through his direct primary care model, he emphasizes continuity, accessibility, and empowering patients to take control of their health. His approach blends traditional family medicine with a modern, simplified structure, offering patients direct communication, flexible access, and a more personalized experience that reflects his belief in old-school doctor-patient relationships adapted for today’s healthcare landscape.

Who is Dr. Corsoin right for?

Dr. Brett Corson is an excellent fit for individuals and families who want simple, affordable, and highly accessible primary care without the complexity of insurance. He is particularly well-suited for patients who value a direct relationship with their doctor, including those frustrated with rushed visits, long wait times, or fragmented care in traditional systems. His background in diverse care settings also makes him a strong choice for people managing chronic conditions, acute issues, or general preventive care who want a physician that can handle a wide range of needs in one place.

He is also a great fit for patients who prefer a straightforward, no-frills approach to healthcare—those who care more about access, continuity, and trust than luxury amenities or high-end concierge features. Individuals who want same-day availability, direct communication, and a doctor who takes time to understand their full health picture will benefit most from his model, especially if they are looking for dependable, relationship-driven care at a more accessible price point than traditional concierge medicine.
