About

At Fireside Direct Primary Care in Summerset, SD, husband-and-wife physicians Dr. Kathryn Fausch and Dr. Eric Fausch deliver comprehensive primary care for patients from birth through age 100 and beyond. Both trained within traditional healthcare settings before building the practice they envisioned: personal, unhurried, and grounded in genuine physician-patient relationships.

The practice caps each physician's panel at 300 patients. Members receive same- or next-day appointments Monday through Friday, direct phone access to Dr. Fausch on weekends, and telehealth visits. House calls serve newborns, and home visits extend care to those who need it. Fireside integrates lifestyle and longevity medicine into every aspect of care, addressing nutrition, movement, sleep, stress, and metabolic health alongside traditional clinical treatment. The practice welcomes patients of all backgrounds, identities, and ages, and includes gender affirming care in all membership tiers. Dr. Kathryn Fausch leads specialty menopause care covering perimenopause through postmenopause, including hormone replacement therapy, non-hormonal options, cardiovascular screenings, and metabolic support.
