About
At Waiola Direct Care, Dr. T. Scott McMurry delivers full-spectrum family medicine to the people of West Hawaii. He opened the Kailua-Kona practice in January 2023, bringing a direct primary care model built around genuine accessibility and transparent pricing. The practice runs on the tagline "Doctor to Patient, Nothing in Between" -- a phrase that reflects how Dr. McMurry structures every aspect of care.
Membership tiers cover all age groups, from newborns to older adults, with monthly rates ranging from $49 for children to $169 for Kupuna members. Members reach Dr. McMurry by phone, text, email, or video. Same-day and next-day appointments run 30 to 60 minutes, and he takes after-hours calls. The practice negotiates wholesale pricing on labs, imaging, and medications -- including GLP-1 agonists starting at $70 per month through the medical weight loss program. Waiola Direct Care also offers a wide range of specialty exams, from FAA flight physicals and dive physicals to CDL exams and USCIS immigration evaluations. Employers can partner with the practice through a DPC benefits model backed by documented outcomes data. Dr. McMurry also volunteers with Street Feet Kona and leads an initiative to promote surf helmet use among youth in the community.
