Patrick O'Connell, MD

Sentinel Primary Care was founded by Dr. Patrick O'Connell to offer Raleigh and Durham patients a better healthcare experience. After 14 years in practice at Duke, Dr. O'Connell opened Sentinel to respond to the rushed visits and long wait times typical of insurance-based medicine.

Sentinel Primary Care has become one of the Triangle area's most trusted primary care practices. Patients appreciate our straightforward pricing, easy access, and the genuine relationships they build with their providers.

Dr. O'Connell and Natalie Adams view healthcare as a calling. We reserve patient spots for uninsured individuals, providing the same exceptional care for minimal fees. Our Christian values are expressed through accessible care, affordable pricing, and dedicated service to the Raleigh community.
