At Harford Direct Care, our focus is whole-person wellness.

Harford Direct Care focuses on your complete health offering tailored health care beyond your physical well-being.

Direct Primary Care

  • Typically done once per year, this is the visit where we go over making sure you are up to date on your routine health screenings for your age and health risk factors (like mammogram, colonoscopy, etc). Prior to this appointment you will need to have your labs drawn so we can evaluate things like your cholesterol (for men, we would typically check a PSA) and other standard labs based on your health needs and medical/family history.

  • As a member, you can elect to have the provider come to your home to evaluate you for medical concerns! This can be for an annual exam, follow up or sick visit if you live within a 20-25 mile radius of Harford County, MD. You must be located in Maryland. Please ensure you maintain a safe environment for yourself and the provider if you elect this service.

  • Don’t go to Urgent Care—set up a sick visit with the provider! This can be done as a home visit or virtually!

    As a member, you will be given direct access to your provider! This means that you will have the ability to use the portal, call, text or even email your provider if you have a medical question or concern. You can opt to have a telemedicine visit if you are feeling ill (for example, cold or flu symptoms or urinary tract infection symptoms) or you can elect for a home visit. We currently do not have an office location at this time (coming soon!).

    Please feel free to self-schedule using the portal OR call, email or text your provider during business hours. If it is an urgent concern after hours, please text or call the provider. If it is an emergent concern, please call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.

  • This type of visit is a medical visit done utilizing real-time, secure, 2-way, video and audio technology to address a medical concern or follow up on a medical condition. You and your provider can request a visit of this type (often this can be done for a follow-up visit depending on when you were last seen by the provider and depending on the medical condition and concern being addressed or it can be done for a visit when you are feeling ill). It should be noted that these types of visits may require setting up a time for a physical examination by the provider if the provider determines that more information is necessary to fully evaluate your medical concerns or needs.

  • This type of exam is done in preparation for a surgery or procedure. This usually requires your provider to do a physical exam in addition to some lab work and sometimes, an EKG. We can do all of this for you. Our provider has extensive experience in completing these types of exams having worked in GBMC’s pre-surgical testing center for 2.5 years! We will send all of your paperwork over to your surgeon’s office so you don’t have to worry about anything other than getting ready for your surgery.

  • Do you have kids that need a sports physical, camp or school forms filled out but it isn’t time for their annual physical? Having trouble getting in with the pediatrician or PCP? Our provider fills out school forms for members at no additional cost*

    *cost for mail or printing of forms will apply. No cost for electronic forms.

  • We partner with a phlebotomist who can come to your home to draw your blood! Quick, easy and no need to drive anywhere to get your labs done! Our phlebotomist can draw for most major labs including Labcorp and Quest!

  • Additional charges will apply for testing (for example: COVID, flu, strep swabs done at the time of visit).

    Need a COVID/flu or strep test? No problem! We can do that at the time of your visit if it is done in person.

    The following items will have an additional fee that we are currently working with our suppliers to obtain pricing for.

    COVID/flu combination test-$25 (currently out of stock)

    Flu swab-$15

    RSV swab $23

    COVID test-$15

    Strep test-$5

    Urine dip test—$5 (if positive, this will be sent out for a urine culture to the lab—if you choose to have this covered under insurance, we can have this arranged)

    EKG-$25 (if not done with a pre-op exam)

    Suture removal-$10

    Coming soon:

    Cryotherapy (for those stubborn warts!)

    Suture placement —right now we offer minor laceration repair with Clozex! No needles are needed!

Medically Assisted Weight Loss

  • Our trained provider guides you each visit with nutrition, exercise and lifestyle counseling for weight loss success.

    This is not a quick fix program. We utilize a multi-faceted approach to get to the root of your weight gain or difficulty losing weight. Our goal is to set you up for weight loss success and to give you tools to help you maintain your success in the future!

  • We utilize medications from a compounding pharmacy to help you with your weight loss goals (ex: semaglutide and tirzepatide).

    Since these medications are used off-label for weight loss assistance and are not brand name products (not affiliated with Novo Nordisk™ or Eli Lilly™ or their respective products— Saxenda®, Victoza®, Rybelsus®, Wegovy®, or Ozempic®), we do not accept insurance at this time.

  • We partner with a phlebotomist who can come to your home to draw your blood! Quick, easy and no need to drive anywhere to get your labs done! Our phlebotomist can draw for most major labs including Labcorp and Quest!

    We also partner with an amazing lab that offers labs at a reduced fee for our patients in our weight loss program. Please inquire for pricing!

  • We partner with Fullscripts for all of your vitamin and supplement needs!

Thyroid Optimization

  • If you are struggling with losing weight, constant or chronic fatigue, hair loss/brittle nails or decreased libido you may have problems with your thyroid!

    We do a deep dive into the history of your symptoms and your medical history. A thyroid panel is done and additional testing may be added to further evaluate your thyroid function.

    We can help you better manage Hashimoto’s disease and symptoms associated with hypothyroidism!

Meet the Team

  • Kelsey Terrones, MSN-FNP CRNP

    FOUNDER

    Hi! I'm Kelsey Terrones, a certified registered nurse practitioner specializing in family practice. With nearly 9 years of experience, I’ve dedicated myself to providing compassionate care to families in which I’ve found the most joy. I established Harford Direct Care to ensure that patients receive the proper care they rightly deserve. My goal in establishing Harford Direct is to make certain that each patient is provided care that is personalized and unrushed, tailored to the individual's needs, and not dictated by insurance companies. When I'm not working, I cherish spending quality time with my family and indulging in my hobbies, which include reading, crocheting, and spending time with our 2 dogs and 2 cats.

    MOBILE PHLEBOTOMIST

    Yolanda is an invaluable asset to the Harford Direct Care team. Patients rave about her sunny and friendly demeanor and her exceptional blood drawing (phlebotomy) skills! Most of her patients state “that’s it?! I didn’t even feel it!”. She often is able to successfully draw the blood on even the most challenging, self-proclaimed “tough stick” patients. Yolanda has been a phlebotomist with Quest Diagnostics for many years and recently has started her own mobile phlebotomy company, Premier Mobile Labs.
