Real primary care, with the deeper tools

Membership is for people who want a doctor in their corner all year.

An ongoing relationship with one physician who already knows your history, your labs, and your life - and acts on it before things become problems. That is a different thing from a once-a-year physical, and it feels different from the first week.

If you want continuity

A doctor who knows you

One physician who remembers your history and follows your story over time - no re-explaining yourself to a new face every visit.

If you want to stay ahead

Proactive & preventive

Regular check-ins, biomarker tracking, and wearable data reviewed between visits - so small things get caught early.

If you want care now

Direct, same-day access

Text Dr. Ash directly and get same or next-day answers. Home visits when you need them, no waiting room.

How insurance fits

You keep your insurance. Membership covers your care.

It works the way you would expect. Dr. Ash writes your lab and imaging orders, and they bill your insurance directly, the same as any other doctor. Over 90% of members get labs fully covered by their plan. What is not billed to insurance is the care itself: the unhurried visits, the direct access, and one physician keeping your whole picture together. That is what membership covers, and it is 100% HSA and FSA eligible, so pre-tax dollars pay it.

Paying cash? Membership works the same. Your labs and imaging run at direct, negotiated rates, often cheaper than billing a plan for advanced testing.

The value, plainly

What makes membership worth it?

Membership replaces the team you would otherwise assemble and manage yourself: a primary care office, a hormone clinic, a metabolic program, a preventive cardiology consult, a mental health prescriber, and someone to coordinate all of them. Here, that is one physician, one relationship, and one plan.

Breadth

One physician, many lanes

Cardiovascular prevention, metabolic health, hormone care from testosterone to menopause, the medication side of mental health, and sexual health, in one place, with functional and longevity tools grounded in evidence.

Coordination

A quarterback for everything else

When you need anyone beyond primary care, Dr. Ash finds the right specialist, reaches out on your behalf with a clinical briefing, and reads what comes back. You are never the messenger between your own doctors.

Time

Visits with no timer

The records review and the lab review each typically run 60 to 120 minutes, and some run longer. The visit ends when you and your doctor are on the same page, not when a schedule says so.

One picture

Your whole story, read together

Your health story, family history, wearable data, and advanced biomarkers get read as one picture. The interplay between those systems is where the answers usually live.

The fee buys the access. The value is one doctor watching the whole board, year after year, and the peace of mind of always knowing who to text.

Membership

One membership, three rhythms.

Same care and same access either way. Pick the billing rhythm that fits you.

"He takes the time to truly listen and is dedicated to finding answers and solutions, not just quick bandaid fixes, even when things are complex. I know cash-pay medicine can feel like a big investment, but after experiencing this level of care firsthand, I truly believe it's one of the best investments you can make in yourself."

"Dr. Ash has saved our family during the flu season. Because of the extremely quick turnaround and him being in the neighborhood, we got our flu tests done the same day and were able to get tamiflu an hour later. If you're a parent you can appreciate what a relief this was to the entire household. 100% recommended particularly for busy parents!"

"After two long years of searching for a new Integrative/Functional medicine doctor since my previous one retired, I can honestly say he was worth the wait. Dr. Ash approaches healthcare with a deep compassion, focusing on understanding the root causes of issues rather than just treating symptoms. He has a wonderful way of meeting you where you are, taking the time to explain everything with patience and kindness."

"I wish I could give 6 stars. I have never met a doctor so attentive, caring and thorough as Dr. Ash. Home visits are definitely uncharted territory for me but he made me feel comfortable every step of the way. Highly recommend."
