About
At ColGACare, Dr. Meghan Galer delivers direct primary care and acute care to adults in Columbus, GA. She founded the practice in 2021 with a clear goal: restore the doctor-patient relationship by cutting out insurance entirely. The practice operates without commercial insurance or Medicare, keeping pricing transparent and overhead low.
Dr. Galer's background in Emergency Medicine means she handles many issues in-office that might otherwise send a patient to the ER. The practice welcomes tradespeople, laborers, artists, students, entrepreneurs, and hospitality workers. ColGACare holds LGBTQ+ affirming care as a core commitment, offering PrEP, PEP, STD testing, and gender-affirming care with discreet in-office dispensing. Dr. Galer purchases medications at wholesale and passes those savings directly to members. The practice currently maintains a waitlist for new members.
