"We believe healthcare should feel different when you walk through our doors."
Not rushed. Not transactional. Not impersonal. Every decision made at Hometown Primary Care, from the structure of our appointments to the direct primary care model we chose, a model recognized by the Direct Primary Care Coalition, comes back to one thing: treating people like people, not like patient numbers.

Our Story
Healthcare the Way It Was Always Meant to Be
Hometown Primary Care opened in November 2022 with a clear purpose: to practice healthcare differently.
With 16 years of experience in healthcare, including 10 years as a registered nurse and 6 years as a family nurse practitioner, Candace Herrin, APRN, FNP-C, has seen firsthand how powerful care becomes when it is personal, consistent, and rooted in real relationships. She had also seen what happens when those qualities get lost inside a system driven by volume and speed.
From the very beginning, this practice operated on a relationship-first approach. Over time, it became clear that a full direct primary care model in Choctaw was the best way to protect and expand that approach for every patient who walks through the door.
The structure evolved. The way we practice care never did.

Our Goals
What We Are Working Toward
Put Relationships at the Center of Every Appointment
Every visit to Hometown Primary Care is structured to give patients the time and attention they deserve. We protect that time intentionally, because care built on rushed conversations is not care at all.
Make Quality Primary Care Accessible to This Community
Membership primary care in Oklahoma is still a new concept for many families, and that is exactly why we offer multiple pathways. Whether through a DPC membership or cash-pay visits, our goal is to remove the barriers that keep people from getting consistent, personalized care close to home,
Expand Services That Address the Full Picture of Health
From medical weight loss and hormone replacement therapy to IV therapy, laser hair removal, and EmpowerRF, our goal is to meet our patients where they are in every season of life, not just when something goes wrong.
Be a Practice This Community Is Proud Of
Hometown Primary Care is locally owned and locally rooted. When people in this community search for the best primary care clinic in Choctaw, our goal is to be the name their neighbors, parents, and kids already trust, because the care they received made a real difference.

The People Behind Your Care
Hometown Primary Care is a locally owned, nurse practitioner-led practice. Every person on our team is here because they believe care should be personal, and that patients deserve a provider who truly knows them.
Candace is a board-certified family nurse practitioner with 16 years of clinical experience, including 10 years in Emergency Medicine as an ED RN and Charge Nurse, as well as experience in pulmonology, sleep medicine, OB/GYN, and urgent care before founding Hometown Primary Care in 2022.
She has called Eastern Oklahoma County home for over 30 years. She and her husband, Ray, who works at Tinker Air Force Base, have raised four children in this community and are proud grandparents to one granddaughter. She did not just open a clinic here. She built it for the community she has always been a part of.
Candace is licensed in both Oklahoma and Florida, supporting continuity of care for patients who split their time between states.
