aLine Health is a Direct Primary Care clinic in Shreveport, Louisiana, owned and operated by Dr. Mandy Crow. This care model is growing across the U.S., with over 1,000 clinics already operating. As your physician, I work directly with you—not with insurance companies. You pay an affordable monthly fee for full access to primary care services. There are no copays, deductibles, or surprise bills. We’ll communicate through office visits, phone, email, or text—whichever suits your needs. If you have insurance, I’ll help you use it wisely for labs, imaging, or specialists. If you don’t, I offer access to low-cost options. Insurance isn’t used for my services, but it can still be used elsewhere in the healthcare system. You’ll receive medications directly from my clinic at reduced prices, and I perform most procedures offered in a typical primary care office. This approach means longer appointments, better access, and care centered around you—not insurance rules. Traditional insurance-based care limits time and raises costs. Direct Primary Care allows me to deliver high-quality, affordable care with transparent pricing and direct access. See the FAQ and Services tabs for more details. If this sounds like the care you’ve been looking for, reach out today. Space is limited to maintain personalized service, and a waitlist will start once the practice is full.
