Welcome to Southern Roots Direct Primary Care
Where the Coffee’s Hot, the Doc’s in, and the Door’s Always Open.
Remember when your doctor knew your name, asked about your family, and actually took the time to listen? When a visit felt more like catching up with someone —not just another rushed appointment?
For too long, people in South Georgia have struggled with a healthcare system that’s frustrating, expensive, and impersonal—endless wait times, and surprise medical bills that make quality care feel out of reach.
At Southern Roots, we believe in a simpler, more personal approach to healthcare. That's why we’re bringing back the old-fashioned patient-physician relationship. Here, we take the time to know your story, understand your concerns, and be the doctor you can rely on.
No packed waiting rooms. No hidden costs. No insurance needed!
Just good, honest medicine from a doctor who treats you like family.

We Know
What’s Been Frustrating You
Because We’ve Heard It All Before.
For years, we’ve listened to the same frustrations from patients:
"I can never get in to see my doctor.”
“I sit in the waiting room forever just to be rushed out in five minutes.”
“I have no idea what half my medications are for.”
“Another medical bill showed up out of nowhere.”
“I don’t feel like my doctor really listens to me.”
That’s exactly why we built something different.
At Southern Roots, we believe healthcare should be personal, accessible, and built around real relationships. Here, you’ll find care that’s affordable, patient-centered, and focused on what matters most—you.We’re not just your doctors—we’re your neighbors, your friends, and the ones who care about keeping this community strong and healthy.
We’d love to welcome you in and show you what healthcare should feel like.

Because Your Doctor Should Feel Like a Friend
Healthcare should feel like home—familiar, comforting, and built on trust. That’s exactly what we set out to create. Founded by Dr. Summer Bryant Alvarez, DO & Dr. Raymond Y. Alvarez, DO, Southern Roots is built on the belief that good medicine means good relationships.
We believe in taking our time with you, really getting to know your story, and treating you like family—because that’s exactly what you are to us. You deserve a doctor who listens, who explains things in a way that makes sense, and who’s there for you when you need them.
At Southern Roots, we bring together the best of modern medicine and personal, down-to-earth care. When it comes to your health, you should feel informed, empowered, and supported every step of the way.
