Board-Certified Clinician
Chris Woods, MSN, APRN, FNP-C

I'm the nurse practitioner behind NPCWoods. I built this practice because too many people fall through the cracks of a healthcare system that wasn't designed for them, and I wanted medical advice online to feel personal, accountable, and real.

Why NPCWoods Exists

I worked in urgent care, telemedicine, and primary care for over a decade before starting NPCWoods in 2025. I kept seeing the same thing: people who needed straightforward care—a UTI, a sinus infection, a dental infection they couldn't get treated—but couldn't get it because the system made it too expensive, too slow, or too complicated.

So I built something different. NPCWoods is text-based telemedicine at a $59 flat fee. No video call. No waiting room. No paperwork. You text me what's going on, I take a thorough history, and if treatment is appropriate, I send a prescription to your pharmacy. That's it.

“This isn't a venture-backed tech startup with chatbots and clinical directories. It's one nurse practitioner who answers every text personally.”

Who You're Texting

I'm a double board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner with a Master of Science in Nursing. I've worked across urgent care, primary care, and telemedicine, and I bring all of that experience to every visit.

  • Patient safety: Every patient message is personally reviewed by me. No AI triage, no outsourced clinician pool, no symptom checker making the call.

What patients can expect

  • Care model: text-based telemedicine for straightforward urgent-care problems that do not need hands-on exams, imaging, or emergency treatment.
  • Response standard: same-day replies are the standard, with many patients hearing back quickly during operating hours.
  • Prescriptions: when treatment is appropriate, I send prescriptions directly to your local pharmacy. If you need in-person care, I will tell you plainly.

What to Expect

When you text NPCWoods, you're texting me, not a call center, not a chatbot, not an AI. I personally read every message, take a thorough history, and make the clinical decision.

If medication is appropriate, I send a prescription to your pharmacy. If something needs in-person care, I'll tell you straight up, no charge for the honesty. I'd rather lose a $59 visit than put you in a bad spot.

My approach is radically transparent. Real talk, no corporate BS. You deserve to know exactly what's going on with your body and exactly what I'm thinking. That's the kind of care I'd want for my own family.
