About Lotus Primary Care

Lotus Primary Care was founded in 2025, by Dr. Matthew Libby

Our Mission Statement

Lotus Primary Care provides comprehensive, whole-person, Direct Primary Care for
year-round and seasonal residents of Cape Cod.

Our Vision: the lotus symbol

The lotus was chosen for its association with rebirth and regeneration: the flower grows up out of the mud and blossoms. Primary care, and healthcare in general, has been increasingly “muddied” by third parties inserting themselves between patients and caregivers.

I worked for many years to understand, navigate, and improve this system from within, but it has only continued to become more unsustainable.

Eventually, I adopted the growing Direct Primary Care model, with the vision of truly allowing person-centered primary health care to “blossom” on Cape Cod.
