One Team. One Mission. Redefining Healthcare
At THE ARMORY, true health is more than the absence of disease. It is about how you feel, how you perform, and how you live each day. Our mission is to elevate your quality of life through expert, personalized medical care, delivered as part of an integrated system of medicine, fitness, recovery, and human performance here in Columbus, Ohio.
The Medical Model at THE ARMORY
At THE ARMORY, medical care is not limited to office visits, prescriptions, and lab results. It is part of a larger system designed to help people live stronger, healthier, and more capable lives.
We believe medicine works best when it is connected to how you move, how you recover, how you eat, how you sleep, and how you perform in your everyday life. That is why our medical services are fully integrated with fitness, recovery, and human performance under one roof.
This approach allows us to move beyond short-term problem solving and build long-term strategies for prevention, resilience, and lifelong health.
This is not traditional healthcare. This is healthcare built around you.
Areas of Focus
At THE ARMORY, our medical providers work across two closely connected areas of focus: Direct Primary Care Plus and Performance Medicine. Together, they support both your everyday health and your long-term performance.
Direct Primary Care Plus
Direct Primary Care Plus provides the foundation of your medical care.
It focuses on prevention, illness management, chronic disease treatment, diagnostics, medications, and long-term physician relationships, delivered through a simpler, more transparent model with longer visits, direct access to your care team, and predictable pricing.
This is primary care the way it was always meant to be practiced.
Performance Medicine
Performance Medicine builds on the foundation of primary care by focusing on optimization.
It is a new medical discipline dedicated to improving how the human body functions, performs, recovers, and adapts across every stage of life through advanced metrics and personalized planning.
This is medicine for people who want more than the absence of disease. It is medicine for people who want to perform at their highest level.
How Do I Pay for Medical Care at THE ARMORY?

How it Works in Real Life
Medical A La Carte vs Medical Membership

A La Carte = Quick visit and treatment.
Membership = Ongoing support if symptoms persist.

A La Carte = Refill visits as needed.
Membership = Continuous adjustments and direct communication.
Hypertension:
A La Carte = Best for stable cases (1–2 visits per year).
Membership = Regular monitoring and proactive adjustments.
Travel:
A La Carte = Handle urgent issues locally.
Membership = Message your care team; Rx called in anywhere.
Bottom Line: Both deliver excellent care. A La Carte fits short-term needs. The Medical Membership provides continuous, coordinated support for long-term health and prevention.
What Happens if I Need Medical Care Outside THE ARMORY?
A common question about Direct Primary Care is: “What if I need services outside THE ARMORY, and can I still use my insurance?”
The answer is yes. You keep full freedom of choice with your insurance, your pharmacy, your specialists, and your hospital. We’ve also built partnerships to give you affordable cash-pay alternatives when they make more sense.
Here’s how our approach compares to traditional primary care:
Labs
-
THE ARMORY: We draw your blood on site and send it to the lab that offers the best value based on your insurance or cash-pay preference. If you choose cash pricing, our relationships with major commercial laboratories allow us to pass along steep discounts—for example, a cholesterol panel may be $5–$10 here instead of $80–$120 elsewhere.
-
Traditional Primary Care: Ordered through large labs, with costs tied to insurance contracts and billing codes — often much higher and less predictable.
Imaging (X-ray, MRI, CT, Ultrasound)
-
THE ARMORY: We partner with Imaging facilities to secure affordable MRI, CT, and ultrasound options. You can use your insurance or opt for discounted cash rates — an MRI might cost $650-800 through our referral compared to $2,000+ billed to insurance.
-
Traditional Primary Care: Typically ordered through hospitals or outpatient centers, billed to insurance at much higher sticker prices.
Prescriptions
-
THE ARMORY: Medications are prescribed to the pharmacy of your choice. Through our partnership with Tremont Pharmacy, patients — especially those without insurance — can access cost-effective alternatives, manufacturer discounts, and lower out-of-pocket costs.
-
Traditional Primary Care: Prescriptions are sent to pharmacies, but patients are usually locked into insurance copays or retail pricing, with little cost guidance.
Specialists
-
THE ARMORY: You retain full access to the specialists of your choice. We provide referrals, help identify top providers, and coordinate records and communication in advance to keep your care seamless.
-
Traditional Primary Care: Referrals are provided, but coordination is often minimal or nonexistent.
Hospitalization
-
THE ARMORY: You may choose any hospital you prefer. Hospitalists manage your inpatient care, while our team stays involved, advocates for you, and supports your transition home for true continuity.
-
Traditional Primary Care: Hospitalists typically manage care, but your doctor may or may not be looped in once you’re admitted.
