Meet Our Team in Raleigh Midtown at AFC Urgent Care

Welcome to American Family Care Ralegh Midtown, your locally owned and operated medical clinic. We set out to establish a place where our community in Raleigh can receive the best possible care with a smile.

We aim to help our community live in full health. Visit us when you are not feeling well, you need a physical, or if you have any concerns about your health. We know time is important - we promise to provide high-quality care in the shortest time possible.

Reserve a spot or walk-in to see us and experience the difference local, personalized healthcare can make for you.

Greg Ismay, Co-owner

Hi, I’m Greg I. With a sales and marketing background I entered the medical space with a passion for customer service. In August 2021, we opened as an urgent care with a convenient location, accepting walk-ins and offering extended hours – open evenings and weekends. Along the way, we noticed a shortage of primary care in our community. In addition, many patients prefer virtual care over an in-office visit when possible. So, we expanded our service lines to include preventative care and telehealth; essentially creating a small, locally owned, personable, family-oriented, convenient, accessible one-stop shop for all your non-emergent and non-specialty medical needs. Our team looks forward to serving you (and your family if applicable).

I make my home in North Raleigh, exercise at Lifetime Athletic, enjoy traveling and love anything outdoors, including golf. I am a member of Hope Lutheran Church Wake Forest, where I worship regularly, attend a men’s study group and serve on the Mobile Food Ministry Leadership Team.

Greg Kotzbauer, CO-owner

Hi, I’m Greg K. I joined the American Family Care Raleigh Midtown because I know how much the team cares about the well-being of every patient we serve. My objective is to help the team provide the best possible care for every patient. Hopefully my experience creating 'About Me' care models and leading global research initiatives focused on creating person-centered care will prove to be a helpful contribution to our mission: to deliver the best possible care to every person, every time. I have a Masters of Science from the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth, I have a wonderful family of six, I played soccer in college, and my favorite activity is running (my marathon PR is a 2:38).

August Ismay, Center Administrator

Hi, I'm August! As Center Administrator, my aim is to develop and oversee operational guidelines that produce clinical excellence along with 5-star patient experiences. I will always greet you with a big smile if I’m working at our front desk. Or you may see me working as a Medical Assistant; triaging patients, running labs and helping our providers assess patient needs for their treatment plans.

I am a good listener and enjoy helping people. In my free time I like anything outdoors including most any sport (playing & watching), golfing, cornhole, as well as doing crossword puzzles, going to concerts, and traveling. I look forward to serviing you.

Victor Agbai, FNP

I have more than seven years’ experience in the medical field and hold two national board certifications with the American Nurses credentialing Center (ANCC) and American Association of Nurse Practitioners (AANP).

At American Family Care, we recognize the need to bridge a large gap between the Emergency Department and Specialty medical offices. I take great pride in attending to my patient’s needs whether it’s a cut finger, flu-like symptoms or managing high glucose levels. I look forward to serving you!

I reside in Raleigh and, in my free time, enjoy baking, working out and watching or playing soccer.

Jinzhao Ji, PA-C

I have more than 10 years of medical experience with a concentration in urgent care, primary care and mental health, I am very passionate and positive about contributing and sharing my professional knowledge as well as clinical experiences with patients in our community. Your health is important to me, and I’ll do everything I can to help you stay in good health.

My family and I currently reside in Cary NC. I enjoy traveling, swimming, playing basketball, watching films, reading books, and spending time with family.

Christie Woodard, Clinical Lead/X-ray Technologist

I’m Christie, with 35 years of experience in the medical field. My journey has been diverse, spanning roles as an X-ray technologist, medical assistant, ultrasound technologist, and paramedic. I’ve also worked in medical management. From a young age, I had a deep passion for caring for others which grew into a lifelong career of serving and supporting those in need. I take pride in my attention to detail and possess an unwavering commitment to providing the best care possible through compassionate care, dedication, and a touch of perfectionism. I cherish spending time with my husband and two children, making memories through travel, watching sports, and relaxing at the beach. At home, I love taking care of my dogs, who bring just as much joy as my work does.
