Primary Care Built Around You

Southdale Physicians is an adult fee-for-service clinic a few minutes west of Richfield, led by board-certified internist Dr. Merlin Brown. We offer same-day visits, answer the phone with a real person, and accept Medicare, Aetna and Humana. You pay only for the care you receive, with no membership fee. Searching for a primary care doctor near me usually means wanting two things: a physician who listens and a bill with no surprises. Southdale was built around both, and the office is an easy drive for adults across the area

Clear Pricing, No Membership Fee

Fee-for-service means you pay for the visits and services you use, and nothing more. There is no annual membership or no monthly fee to continue receiving care.
Some concierge clinics ask for a yearly fee before you ever see a doctor. Southdale does not. You still get unhurried time with your physician, but your doctor visit cost without insurance depends only on the care you receive.
We accept Medicare, Aetna and Humana. Contact the office to confirm your coverage, out-of-pocket costs, and self-pay pricing. A self-pay doctor option is available for patients paying directly, with no membership fee required.

What it's like to be his patient

In Patients’ Words

Dr. Brown is an excellent physician.

Mike Capperop

Love Dr. Brown! He was the only MD in years that effectively managed my mental health, helped manage my weight and weight loss, and helped manage my hormones. He's much less expensive than other providers, even system providers. He's flexible and personable and works with his patients' needs.

Caitlin Johnson

Big thank you to Dr. Brown's clinic for looking after my family! Excellent service, top-notch care team. If you want straightforward medicine and don't want to wonder "what will I be charged later?" this is the best clinic to go to!

Ben Porter

Everyone at this practice is amazing, friendly and very helpful. They truly care about their patients. Karyn fit my parents in to her busy schedule. She’s caring, thorough, and knowledgeable. She is a good listener and follows up to ensure her patients receive the care they need.

Sara H

I love Dr. Brown and his entire team. Both of my parents saw him when I was growing up, and he has been there for me through some of the most important and difficult moments of my life. He helped me understand my mother’s autopsy after her passing and has guided me on my health journey throughout my adult life with care and integrity. Dr. Brown is a true pioneer, offering fee-for-service, premium care outside the traditional insurance system. I’ve even referred my husband for comprehensive blood work at a much more reasonable cost than through insurance. He is a genuinely good person and an exceptional doctor. Highly recommend.
