About

At Gaston Family Practice in Gastonia, NC, three board-certified family medicine physicians built something distinct from the ground up. Dr. Brian Wysong, Dr. Caroline Stephens, and Dr. Derek Reed co-founded the practice around a model they call Personalized Primary Care. That model blends elements of Direct Primary Care and traditional primary care into a hybrid approach tailored to Gaston County.

The practice holds credentials with all major insurance companies and Medicare. That credential status lets the team handle medication prior authorizations, imaging prior authorizations, and specialist referrals directly. Appointments run 45 minutes, and patients can address multiple concerns in a single visit. Members reach a board-certified physician 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The monthly membership covers all in-office care, basic labs, and procedures, with no copays or hidden fees. Gaston Family Practice also offers employer DPC packages for self-funded and level-funded businesses.
