About
At Carytown Direct Primary Care, Dr. Michaela Varys and Dr. Ziya Aktig deliver family medicine rooted in genuine partnership. The two co-founders met at Charles University in Prague and completed their family medicine residencies in the Richmond area. They chose the city for their home and practice.
The practice covers a wide clinical range. Dr. Varys holds double board certification in Family Medicine and Lifestyle Medicine, with clinical interests in women's health, menopause, weight loss medicine, and pediatrics. Dr. Aktig treats medically complex patients and also works as a hospitalist, bringing inpatient insight directly into outpatient care. Carytown DPC operates a fully equipped procedure suite and partners with an in-house licensed clinical social worker for mental health care. The practice negotiates cash-pay rates with local labs and imaging centers, keeping costs low for members.
