Stacey Ratliff, PA-C

"I was born and raised in Pensacola, FL. I studied Biology Pre-Med at University of West Florida and after graduating I moved to Greensboro, NC in 2013. While there, I gained patient care experience in preparation for PA school as a certified nurse assistant. I completed PA school at Methodist University in Fayetteville, NC with an MS in PA Studies. I began practicing medicine Jan 2018, specializing in family medicine and urgent care in Greensboro, NC. I practiced in Greensboro until my husband's job transferred us to Cincinnati, OH Sept 2019. I began working at Next Direct Oct 2019. I am married to Chris, my high school sweetheart, and we welcomed our daughter Amelia into the world Nov 2020. She is the best thing to happen to us during the COVID-19 pandemic! In my free time I love spending time with my family and friends, the beach, boating, hiking (pretty much anything outdoors!), traveling, and checking out new restaurants/breweries/wineries. I am passionate about patient care focused on spending time educating in order to prevent chronic diseases. I want my patients to feel their best and live long healthy lives. At Next Direct, I practice family medicine, functional medicine, occupational medicine, urgent care, and aesthetics."

"Next Direct is a membership based Direct Primary Care (DPC) practice. In our model you pay a monthly membership that provides unlimited access to necessary care. DPC was created on the idea that better care is delivered much more affordably by providing care independent of insurance companies and corporate hospital organizations. Next Direct restores the doctor-patient relationship and eliminates outside interests from dictating care. Next Direct’s approach is the future of patient care.
