About
Dr. Dakota Boisseau is a board-certified family medicine physician and the founder of River Direct Primary Care in Mauldin, South Carolina. She grew up across Montana and Nevada, earned her undergraduate degree at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and completed her medical training at Campbell University School of Medicine in North Carolina. Her family medicine residency at Prisma Health in Greenville planted roots she decided to keep.
Dr. Boisseau structures her practice around quality time, direct communication, and transparent pricing. She prioritizes lifestyle medicine, building personalized plans before turning to medication. She offers gender-affirming care using an informed consent model and treats patients ages 13 and older. Outside the clinic, she shares her life with her husband Sean, an internal medicine hospitalist at Prisma Health, and their golden retriever, River. She is passionate about sci-fi and fantasy books, water activities, skiing, and horseback riding. She grew up competing in rodeos and credits her parents with instilling a love of scuba diving, which she says holds surprising parallels to practicing medicine.
