Pinellas County
Serving Palm Harbor. From Clearwater.
Far enough that the drive is a real consideration, which makes telehealth the honest centre of the answer rather than a footnote.
My Choice Primary Care serves Palm Harbor from its office about six miles south-southeast, on McCormick Drive in Clearwater. Every visit is offered in person or by secure telehealth, so members further north are not required to make the drive for routine care.
The office is at 2623 McCormick Dr., Suite 104, Clearwater, FL 33759, about 5.9 miles south-southeast of Palm Harbor in a straight line. One office, and only one.
The distance question
Whether Palm Harbor is too far.
Palm Harbor is about six miles from the office, and at that distance the drive is a real consideration rather than a rounding error. It would be easy to talk around that. Instead: for a Palm Harbor member, secure telehealth is not a convenience feature, it is the part of the model that makes the practice workable. Routine reviews, medication questions and follow-ups happen from home. The drive is reserved for the visits where being in the room changes the outcome.
Who it fits
Worth it from Palm Harbor, and when it is not.
At six miles, this suits people for whom the value of primary care is continuity rather than proximity: someone managing a condition across years, coordinating care for a parent, or holding a medication list that more than one specialist keeps adding to. Those are the situations where reaching the same physician directly is worth a drive you make rarely. It suits acute, walk-in style use badly. If what you want is somewhere close to go when you wake up unwell, an urgent care in Palm Harbor will serve you better than a membership six miles south.
Living in Palm Harbor rather than Clearwater does not change the fee. Distance is not one of the inputs. How membership is priced.
