YES!! If you're looking for a physician who takes a holistic, integrative approach and truly knows you, Dr. Ford-Norton can serve as your PCP. Many of our members choose us as their primary doctor so that all of their care is coordinated under one roof. 

Direct Primary Care is an agreement between the patient and the doctor without involvement from an insurance company. Medical services are provided for a low, monthly membership fee and allows you to have a direct connection with your doctor. We limit the number of patients in our practice so that we can spend more time with each patient and provide same-day or next day visits during those times you really need to be seen. Appointment times may range between 15-60 minutes so that you do not feel rushed.

That's perfectly fine! You don't have to give up your existing PCP to work with us. You can either:

• Schedule a 3-visit consultation package, or
• Enroll in the Integrative Medicine Membership and use our services as much or as little as you need alongside your current PCP.

Traditional/conventional medicine often means rushed visits, symptom-based prescriptions, and long waits for appointments. At Spark Performance and Wellness, you get:

• Direct access to your physician
• Longer, unhurried visits
• Whole-person care (integrave + lifestyle+ functional medicine)
• A personalized roadmap designed to help you heal, not just "manage" symptoms
• Medications only when you need it. Not just a "pill for every ill"

Our number one goal at SPARK is to keep our prices low and provide the highest quality of care. In order to do so, we have chosen not to be limited by the time constraints that comes with an insurance-based practice. We accept major credit cards, cash, HSA and FSA  as forms of payment. For patients with out-of-network benefits, we are able to provide a super-bill that you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. 

Labs are nor included in the monthly membership fee, since they vary from person to person. Dr. Ford-Norton will recommend labs that provide the most insight into your health, and you can decide how much you'd like to pursue. A personalized treatment plan is most effective when all recommended labs are completed. You may use insurance or pay cash. Members receive an 80% discount through Labcorp. 

While we do offer same-day visits, we do not take walk-ins. As we strive to provide a high level of care to all patients without wait times, it is important that all patients are scheduled in advance in order to receive the proper amount of time during their visit. To schedule a same-day or next-day appointment, members are asked to call the office directly. Some urgent concerns that are treated at our office for our members include but are not limited to:

Car accidents/Personal Injury, Urinary Tract Infections (UTI), Upper respiratory infections (common cold, flu, COVID19, sinus, eye, ear, strep), Pneumonia,  bronchitis, gout, rashes, toothaches, Back/joint/muscle pain, sprains and strains, abdominal pain, Headaches, vaginal infections, STD testing and more!

An urgent visit is to cover one acute issue, such as a sudden injury or illness that began within 1-2 weeks of the appointment. This visit type is also appropriate for some medication refill appointments. An appointment is required and only available for our  members. 

At Spark Performance and Wellness, we focus on preventive medicine and urgent treatment to help our patients stay healthy and out of the hospital. We are not, however, a health insurance plan and cannot replace health insurance. It is recommended that all patients continue to have a high-deductable, catastrophic plan to cover specialists, ER visits and/or hospitalizations, if needed. 

All  members are able to contact Dr. Ford directly via phone for urgent needs. 

Healing the body takes time. Therefore, the Direct Primary Care Membership is a commitment for at least six months from the enrollment date. Those rare patients who opt to cancel will not owe any additional fees, as the enrollment fee covers the cost of the initial visit. There is no early termination fee and one may cancel at anytime if the membership is no longer working. Members who cancel prior to the minimum time committment, however, will not be eligible for re-enrollment for at least 6 months.
