Why We Started Wellspring 

After 20 years of medical practice, Dr. Wes Hite was disheartened by the brokenness of the healthcare system. He longed for the way medicine used to be: personalized care from your doctor who knows you well and who is easily accessible. 

He saw the frustration and helplessness many people experience in the medical system:

  • Not being told how much the doctor’s visit will cost, and getting surprised by medical bills later.

  • Worrying about being able to afford the next accident or illness.

  • Unable to see the doctor when they need to (and long wait times once you finally get in).

  • Receiving inappropriate care due to lack of continuity.

  • Postponing care of a serious medical condition due to fear of high costs.

At Wellspring, we believe in doing what’s best for you, the patient -- your health insurance company shouldn’t determine when and how you receive care. 

We care about your wellness. It’s why we went into medicine, and it’s why we started Wellspring.

 What Our Patients Say

Testimonials Slider

“I became a patient at Wellspring as soon as they opened and have been amazed at how easy it is to get medical advice, maintain bloodwork/monitor health, and get a same-day appointment. Dr. Hite is the rare combination of a doctor who is knowledgeable and who also gives me the room and respect to have my own preferences regarding treatments. I’ve really appreciated being able to address concerns and receive answers and prescriptions simply by messaging in an app and also being able to get same-day appointments when I’m concerned about something that has come up.”

Joyous Faith

“Dr. Hite is a caring doctor, with a very friendly demeaner. The idea behind Direct Family Care is a new approach to healthcare that brings back the way it used to be done. The way he interacts with his patients makes him a perfect fit for this new/old doctor's office approach. I'm so glad he's in our town.”

Sam Shirey

“Dr. HITE took time to listen to what I was experiencing. Finding a doctor who does not rush you in and out is VERY important to me. I felt heard and felt like I mattered:) If you want a doctor who is willing to take time for you and walk alongside you, Dr Hite is your person!!”

Crystal Ficker

“This is the best Primary Care I have ever had. Dr. Hite and Amanda are the absolute best. Dr. Hite gives you options and you are in charge of your own health. He gives a new and refreshing way to get Healthcare. He is more like the old Country Doctor who really cares about his patients. I have been going to him for several years now and am so glad he has his own Office. And his enrollment is far better than any insurance you can get. Come join us and see how healthcare should be. Thanks Dr. Hite and Amanda for your excellent care.”

Kay Williams

“We have been seeing Dr. Hite for the past four years and are extremely pleased with the care he has provided for us. He is professional, personal, and very competent in his care. We have nothing but praise for his abilities as a physician and for his character as a person.”

Andy & Carolyn Wells

“Dr. Hite profiles as an old fashioned ‘Mayberry’ doctor in his demeanor and communications while maintaining great proficiency with current medical technology. He gives us the amount of time we need for each concern or routine follow-up. We are grateful to have such continuity of care delivered in an exceptionally patient-focused manner."
