Why membership
Care without the middleman
Insurance turned your visit into seven minutes. Membership gives it back.
Instead of billing your insurance, you pay your doctor one flat monthly fee. In return you get unlimited visits, same-day access, and a physician with the time to actually think about you.
Keep your insurance for the big things. Use Ascend for everything else.

COMMON QUESTIONS.
What is direct primary care?
Direct primary care is a model where you pay a flat monthly fee directly to your doctor for primary care. No insurance billing sits between you and your physician, which means more time, easier access and transparent pricing.
What does my membership include?
Unlimited office visits, same-day appointments, telehealth by phone, text, video and email, annual physicals, chronic disease management, preventive care, basic in-office procedures like EKGs, sutures and labs, and one complimentary 60-minute osteopathic manipulation session with Dr. Vizanko. Further OMT sessions are priced per session.
Are there costs beyond the monthly fee?
The membership covers most primary care needs. Lab work, imaging and medications are offered at significantly discounted prices, and we talk through the cost up front, every time. Blood is drawn here in the office, so there is no separate lab visit. See what you'd save →
Will Ascend actually save me money?
Often, and sometimes not on paper. If you rarely see a doctor, a membership can cost more than a few copays, and we say so. What you get for it is unlimited visits, a doctor you can text, same-day access, and wholesale labs and medications. The savings calculator shows the math for your household or your team with nothing to sign up for. Run the numbers →
Do you offer family or employer plans?
Yes. We have discounted rates for couples and families, and small business plans so employers can offer their team affordable primary care.
