About

Enlightened Health Direct is a direct primary care practice in Arlington, Texas, led by Dr. Alex Vilaythong, a board-certified family physician. The practice operates outside the traditional insurance model, allowing the physician to work directly with patients without insurance company interference. The practice accepts new patients and offers medical aesthetics, weight loss programs, and hormone replacement therapy alongside comprehensive primary care services.

The practice's philosophy centers on the direct doctor-patient relationship, which enables more time with patients and lower costs by eliminating insurance intermediaries. Dr. Vilaythong brings over a decade of experience as a family physician and medical director, along with academic credentials as an assistant professor of medicine at the University of Texas Southwestern.
