About
At DeKalb MD, Dr. M. Chad Williamson built a network of family medicine clinics across Alabama and Tennessee. His goal was straightforward: make healthcare simpler, more accessible, and more affordable. The practice operates on a monthly membership and carries no insurance ties of any kind.
Members receive their provider's direct phone number for around-the-clock access. DeKalb MD includes medications, labs, imaging, and all in-office procedures in the membership fee. The practice also makes house calls and after-hours visits at no additional charge when medically indicated. For any outside testing or imaging, the practice negotiates deeply reduced prices on members' behalf. DeKalb MD serves individuals, employers, and benefits advisors. Employer programs include near-site, on-site, and hybrid clinic options with data analysis and employee outreach built in.
