About
At Hometown Family Medicine, Dr. Ruth Duesterheft and Dr. Julian Jimenez bring family medicine back to the community where it matters most. The two physicians, who are married, co-founded the Mineral Wells, Texas practice together. Both trained at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston and completed their family medicine residencies at Lone Star Family Medicine in Conroe. Their residency training included focused tracks on caring for underserved populations, a commitment that shapes their work daily. Mineral Wells sits in a medically underserved area, and serving that community was central to why both doctors chose this location. The practice operates on a direct primary care membership model with monthly rates starting at $50 for children. Adult memberships run $100 per month, and members 65 and older pay $125. Every membership covers unlimited in-person and virtual visits, same-day or next-day appointments, extended appointments, and direct physician access by phone or text after hours. The practice handles a wide range of in-office needs, from laceration repair and toenail removal to rapid flu testing and basic gynecological care. Enrollment is available in English and Spanish, and the practice offers a free, no-obligation consultation for anyone considering membership.
