The Story Behind TeleDirectMD

In the past, every town had a trusted family doctor — someone who knew your story, offered honest advice, and saw you without delay. It was simple, direct, and personal.

TeleDirectMD is Dr. Parth Bhavsar’s way of bringing that kind of care back — only now, it’s virtual.

As a board-certified family medicine physician, Dr. Bhavsar saw firsthand how the healthcare system often leaves patients in limbo. In many rural and underserved communities, primary care providers are overburdened and overbooked. Patients can wait days or even weeks for appointments — even for straightforward, treatable issues like UTIs, rashes, or medication refills.

During his residency at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, Dr. Bhavsar was struck by how common this problem was — not just in the Deep South, but across the country. It wasn’t a matter of physician skill or dedication. It was a system issue: too many people, too few doctors, and too much administrative friction.

That’s where the idea for TeleDirectMD took root.

Dr. Bhavsar is the first to acknowledge that primary care physicians play a critical role in managing chronic conditions, coordinating care, and delivering preventive services. Virtual care isn’t meant to replace that. It’s meant to support it.

TeleDirectMD exists to fill the urgent-care gap — to treat the quick, common issues so that your local doctor can stay focused on long-term health.

Tele – because patients shouldn’t have to travel for straightforward care.

Direct – because there shouldn’t be a middleman between you and your doctor.

MD – because you deserve to speak to a board-certified physician — not a bot or midlevel provider.

This isn’t a tech startup or a venture-backed platform. It’s a modern version of the solo doctor’s office — rebuilt for today’s digital world.

Fast. Affordable. Personal. Physician-led. That’s TeleDirectMD.
