Why We Built LFW
Primary Care With Time to Understand and Care for People
Lafayette Family Wellness was founded in 2021 by Ryan and Kyra with a shared desire to create a different kind of primary care—one grounded in relationships, trust, and truly knowing the people they serve. During nine years of caring for critically ill patients in a cardiothoracic ICU, Ryan saw firsthand the importance of helping people earlier, before preventable health concerns become crises. Kyra’s years of caring for patients in heart and vascular care further shaped their commitment to compassionate, proactive healthcare.
Together, they bring more than 40 years of combined healthcare experience to Lafayette Family Wellness. They created the practice to provide thoughtful, accessible primary care that helps patients better understand their health, make wise and informed decisions, and feel genuinely cared for along the way.
Today, the entire Lafayette Family Wellness team carries that vision forward through a shared commitment to love, wisdom, excellence, and clarity in everything we do.

Common Questions
Clear Answers Before You Apply
Direct Primary Care is simple, but it is different. These are four of the questions patients ask most often.
Can I still use health insurance?
Yes. We do not bill insurance for your membership or visits, but you may use insurance for outside medications, imaging, labs, specialists and hospital care.
Should I keep health insurance?
Yes. Direct Primary Care is not health insurance. We recommend coverage for major, unexpected and hospital-based expenses.
How quickly will I hear back?
We generally respond to routine calls and secure messages within one business day. Some clinical questions require chart review, research or an appointment before we can give a safe and complete answer.
Does membership include 24/7 or emergency care?
No. Membership provides improved access to clinic-based primary care, but it is not around-the-clock concierge or emergency care. Emergencies should be directed to 911 or the emergency department. Routine after-hours requests may be addressed on the next business day.
