About
At Tushka Direct Primary Care, Dr. Crystal Skinner and co-founder Molly Gwin, CRNP built Tuscaloosa's first Direct Primary Care clinic from the ground up. The practice sits near the campus of The University of Alabama. Their goal was simple: restore the provider-patient relationship that crowded schedules and insurance requirements had eroded.
Members receive guaranteed same-day appointments lasting 30 minutes or more. The practice charges no copays, deductibles, or insurance fees. Dr. Skinner and Molly Gwin offer care across preventive medicine, chronic disease management, urgent care, in-office procedures, and mental health. Members reach their provider directly by phone, text, or secure messaging through AtlasMD. After-hours access covers urgent needs. The practice also offers discounted cash prices on labs and medications, plus services like Botox Cosmetic, IV hydration, and medical weight loss.
