About
At Elite Direct Primary Care, three physicians deliver comprehensive family medicine and preventive care in Lafayette, Louisiana. Dr. Creighton Shute founded the practice after ten years of military service, bringing that ethos of direct, no-nonsense care to Acadiana. Elite DPC holds the distinction of being the region's first Direct Primary Care practice.
The practice operates on a simple monthly membership with no contracts, no copays, and no deductibles. Members receive up to 60-minute appointments, same-day or next-day access, and the doctor's personal phone number. Elite DPC dispenses medications, labs, supplements, and supplies at wholesale pricing. Annual labs that would exceed $2,000 at a local Lafayette hospital cost $83 through the clinic. A full year of cholesterol medication runs under $7. The team sees patients from birth through adulthood and keeps strict privacy standards, never sharing records with insurance or pharmaceutical companies without patient request.
