Caring for Columbus
“Being a part of a great family oriented organization has been a true blessing. THE ARMORY has filled my needs for my day-to-day access to a prominent doctor, and being able to use a top-tier facility that offers all of the amenities that I need for my youth sports program. Doctor Shawn has been an amazing resource for me and family. I can't thank him enough for what he has done for my blood pressure issues as he fixed it by me just following his plans to manage it. We are just getting started, the future is bright for our community.”

Why THE ARMORY
Healthcare that has time for you.
Most practices run on insurance billing and packed schedules, which means short visits and weeks to get in. We run on memberships and transparent, up-front pricing instead, so you get longer visits, real time with your provider, and clear costs, whether you become a member or pay as you go for a single service.
Direct access
Reach your medical care team directly by phone, email, or text when something comes up, no phone-tree runaround.
Transparent pricing
Membership and visit prices up front. No billing codes, no surprise bills.
Health that lasts
Care focused on your long-term wellness, healthspan, and quality of life, not just treating problems as they show up.

Patient stories
Real people, real results.
“In December 2023 I made the decision to change to THE ARMORY for my medical care. Dr. Bailey was recommended and it sounded like what I was looking for. From the first visit I was impressed. The in-depth physical and DEXA scan gave them the information they needed to start me on my journey to a healthier version of me. Being a performance medicine patient provided me the opportunity to sit down with Audrey the dietician. I never knew how to eat properly. The changes we made stuck. Learning the right way to eat for my needs, having THE ARMORY to work out, and the care that Dr. Bailey provides has changed my life. For the first time in a decade I am under 300 lbs. I am now 3 months into my journey, and I have lost nearly 20 lbs of fat and gained nearly 2 lbs of lean mass because I now understand better diet and exercise. What THE ARMORY offers is a path to a better life. Update: I have since dropped under 230 lbs, and I am still going strong.”

“As a performance medicine patient I can say the staff at THE ARMORY are nothing but the best. The Wellness Coordinator, Nurses, Dietician, Physical Therapist all the way up to Dr. Bailey have been exceptional week in and week out. With their guidance, kindness, and patience I have learned about proper nutrition and exercise while building confidence in myself and my abilities. This has allowed me to lose approximately 85 lbs of fat and over 42 inches from my neck, chest, waist, pant, and hip over an 18 month period, all while in my early 50's. If you are willing to put in the effort they will be there to support you the entire way on your journey.”
Paul · Performance Medicine Patient
“The whole atmosphere, from the staff to the facility, at THE ARMORY is welcoming and calming. Everyone is pleasant and no matter who you see, whether it be Dr. Bailey or any others on staff, they all take the time to answer your questions and concerns. I recently had an elbow issue and Dr. Bailey offered 3 different treatment options. I took advantage of the physical therapy, which incorporated dry needling and targeted exercises, and I no longer have any pain. This is an option that is not offered anywhere else that I know of. Dr. Bailey is a proponent of staying active and healthy eating and definitely practices what he preaches which is very motivational even for a senior like me.”

Questions
Good to know.
We do not bill insurance. That is how we keep visits unhurried and pricing clear, so you see the cost up front, with no billing codes or surprise bills.
No. You can book a single visit to see a provider for a specific concern. A single visit covers that concern and reasonable follow-up for that visit only. It does not include ongoing access to the medical care team, so a new problem, more complex follow-up, or prescription refills would mean another visit; that ongoing access is what the membership provides. Many people start with a single visit, then join once they see how we work, and your first visit applies toward your first month if you do.
Unlimited visits with your full medical care team (physicians, nurse practitioners, registered nurses, registered dietitians, and exercise physiologists), direct messaging and remote access, and prevention and chronic care managed over time. DEXA body composition, DEXA bone density, resting metabolic rate, and VO2 max testing are included at no extra cost, and you get member pricing on labs, physical therapy, and home sleep testing.
Membership is $199 a month, or $1,999 a year. A single new-patient visit is $225 with a nurse practitioner or $275 with a physician.
880 Kinnear Road, Columbus, Ohio. The facility is open and staffed 24/7.
You can cancel your membership anytime, once any minimum commitment for your plan is complete. To avoid your next charge, submit your cancellation before your next billing (renewal) date. Canceling stops future billing, but it does not refund a payment that has already been processed. If you cancel on or after your billing date, that cycle has already been charged and is not refundable, and you keep access for the rest of that paid period. For example, if your membership renews on the first of the month, cancel on or before the last day of the previous month to avoid the next charge. There are no partial or prorated refunds. Annual plans are paid in full up front for twelve months and are non-refundable; they renew automatically each year unless you cancel before the renewal date.
Health, with a team that knows you.
