Matt Dinsmore, NP
"I believe that Direct Primary Care restores the provider-to-patient relationship to what it should be - a relationship. It's through this subscription model that we can provide healthcare that keeps the patient, not the insurance company, at the center and purpose of our care."

Matt Dinsmore, ARNP is a local native of the Spokane area who has grown up in Nine Mile Falls, Washington and graduated from Lakeside High School in 2005. His interest in sciences began as early as kindergarten as he desired to “be a scientist when I grow up” and received a microscope for his 6th birthday. His interests eventually developed into human sciences and he received his Bachelors in Nursing Science through Washington State University (WSU) in 2009. After spending six years in the Emergency Room at Providence Holy Family (as an ER Tech and ER Nurse) he returned to WSU to get his advanced degree in nursing and graduated in 2012 as a Family Nurse Practitioner. It’s from his nursing background that he derives his ideology of care to be patient advocacy.
Matt’s range of experience includes evaluating injured veterans through the Compensation and Pension Department, treating peripheral neuropathy with Combined-Electro Analgesic Therapy, and providing rural primary care services in Steven’s County. Matt is the CEO and owner of Direct Primary Care since establishing in 2018, and sees the membership model of care as an affordable solution to provide relationship-based, patient-centered care, without the barriers of insurance hassles.
Matt attempts to follow Matthew 22:37 daily, spending time with his family (wife and five children), geocaching, beekeeping, and taking care of a family dairy cow named Bonnie.

McKenna Freed, NP
"I believe the Direct Primary Care model puts patients back at the center of the conversation. It creates space for transparency, relationship-building, and truly personalized care. This is how healthcare was meant to be: accessible, collaborative, and focused on what matters most."

Patient Care Coordinators
Michael Struble
“Direct Primary Care gives patients the ability to feel heard and involved in their care plan. Longer appointments and better availability allow patients to discuss multiple concerns without worrying about accruing additional costs, keeping the focus on their health.”

Michael grew up in the Perry District of Spokane, Washington and graduated from Lewis and Clark, HS. His interest in the healthcare field sparked with science classes in middle school and rolled into BioMed classes as well as CNA and CMA certificate programs in high school. During college Michael found a strong interest in business operations but still wanted a role in patient interactions which led to him graduating with a Bachelor’s in Healthcare Administration.
He started his journey in healthcare as a Clinic Administrator at a clinic that performed Compensation and Pension exams for Veterans. In this role, he developed a passion for advocating for others and coordinating between providers and patients. He later decided to pursue an interest in Cyber Security and completed certificate programs.
Michael learned about Direct Primary Care from Jamie Kelley, NP and like many patients thought, “this is too good to be true.” He applied for a part time position and eventually joined the clinic as a full time employee. During his free time he enjoys fishing, spending time with family and friends and hanging out at home with his Fiancée and his dog named Duke.
Kristin Myers
"Direct Primary Care offers thorough, thoughtful, and relational care with friction less access to a provider. It's been a great solution for my healthcare inside a broken system."

Kristin grew up in Spokane Valley and has a deep appreciation for all the Pacific Northwest has to offer. She is the oldest of three siblings and maintains close ties with her family. Kristin’s passion for patient advocacy is deeply personal. Both of her parents were diagnosed with cancer early in life: her mother with breast cancer at 39 and her father with prostate cancer a few years later. Thanks to early intervention, strong self-advocacy, and a dedicated family physician, both are now cancer-free. Witnessing their journey reinforced the importance of accessible, compassionate, and proactive healthcare.
One of her first roles in healthcare was working as a Nursing Assistant Registered (NA-R) in assisted living and memory care settings. She earned her Associate of Arts degree and had plans to continue her education in the medical field but life lead her in another direction. Her path evolved as she built her own family, marrying her husband and welcoming their daughter in 2013. She spent several years as a stay-at-home mom before transitioning into a six-year role as an office manager for a local small business. During that time, she discovered Direct Primary Care (DPC) as a solution for affordable, high-quality healthcare first as a patient, and now as part of the care team.
As a Patient Care Coordinator, Kristin is passionate about helping individuals navigate the often complex healthcare system. She is committed to advocating for patients, ensuring they feel heard, supported, and confident in receiving the care they need. In her spare time she enjoys slow weekend mornings, bird watching, a good cup of coffee, and spending time with her family and friends.
Naomi Butler
Assistant To The Communications Director
"(Direct Primary Care) ...is really worth every penny."
CLICK HERE TO READ MORE ABOUT NAOMI
Naomi Butler spent most of her childhood in Maine and Idaho which gives her a unique accent often confused as a speech impediment. She served her country in the Army learning how to be an interrogator for our military, which explains her strong eye contact, probing questions, and her uncanny ability to linguistically talk you into and out of all sorts of predicaments.
Naomi was one of Direct Primary Care’s first members and was invited to be part DPC’s first formative week. She claims to be Matt’s “older, yet wiser sister”, which is true and Matt would never suggest otherwise. It is this wisdom, particularly with communication, practical philosophy, and gamesmanship that makes Naomi so endearing to DPC and to her “younger, yet not so wise brother.”
Naomi helps the clinic by proof reading their monthly-ish newsletters, preventing huge embarrassing communication errors, such as the March 2026 Member Update newsletter (which could have totally been avoided, if she was on staff then). In her spare time she enjoys laughing and brightening up every room she walks into.
