About
At Birdwell Family Medicine PC, Dr. Tricia Birdwell brings nearly two decades of primary care experience to a Direct Primary Care practice in Rapid City, SD. She built the practice around one conviction: that medicine works best as a direct relationship between doctor and patient. Her training at UC San Francisco's Fresno Campus and her years in both high-volume clinic settings and rural California practice shaped that belief.
Dr. Birdwell handles 85 to 90 percent of her patients' health needs without a specialist referral. She covers acute illness and injury, chronic disease management, preventive care, minor dermatology procedures, and COVID-19 early outpatient treatment. Members reach her by phone, text, email, telehealth, or in-office visit. She also offers house calls within Rapid City for an additional fee. The practice operates on a flat monthly membership, with no co-pays or deductibles per visit. New patient scheduling currently runs 2 to 3 months out.
