Our Story

From concept to reality. Our goal is to provide direct primary care for all.

Identified Problem

After working 17 years in the healthcare field, Dr. Carnsew realized that Red tape, insurance requirements and bureaucracy were preventing her from doing what she truly loved — helping people.

Vision Established

Frustrated with limited one–on–one patient time and a desire to connect with patients, Dr. Carnsew found the direct primary care model. This allowed her to offer lower prices to her patients while providing more care.

Practice Opened

A beautiful location was found in Easley, S.C. and Verity Primary Medicine & Lifestyle became a reality. Opening on Jan. 31, 2017 with nearly 40 new patients.

Team Grows

By implementing Lifestyle Medicine classes and coaching, we are continuing our path towards happiness and health for our patients and our impact continues to grow. Our hope is that together, we can help you achieve wellness.

Dr. Lori is the most compassionate Physician. Very thorough and listens to all my concerns. I have never had a Physician spend so much time with me. That means so much! Always a smile when I walk in and she is available anytime I need her.

J. Acres, Patient

My wife fell and sprained her wrist during the night. Dr Carnsew was able to see her on Saturday morning (not an open day). Checked her out in just a few minutes and expedited an X-ray. If you are not a Verity member already then you need seriously think about doing so!

Marcus Sanders, Patient

Dr. Lori, Tina and Brandi are all phenomenal. This has been a life changing experience for me. They offer both a holistic and traditional approach to medicine that makes me feel comfortable in every situation. I genuinely cannot recommend them enough. My only regret is not switching to their practice earlier.

Bethany Rochester, Patient

Wouldn’t go anywhere else. Best medical care I could ask for !!!

Jennette Mall, Patient

“At Verity you feel cared for as a person, not as just another patient. Dr. Carnsew is highly knowledgeable, helpful, and caring. Tina and Brandi are helpful and caring too; adding to the overall positive experience from the moment you walk in the door. “

Verity Patient

I have wholeheartedly adopted whole food plant based diet and in a year have noticed tremendous results in my physical, mental and emotional wellness.  Thank you for all you do!

Verity patient

“I absolutely love Verity!! The service and care are outstanding. They truly care about the health of their patients. This has been the best care I have received my entire adult life. The cost and no insurance red tape is more affordable than major health plans. They also do not recommend DRUGS for every problem. Lifestyle education and planning to replace bad habits and medications. Thank you Dr. Carnsew!!”
