At Vital Advanced Medical Center, we believe healthcare should be simple, affordable, and focused on you—not insurance companies. That’s why we offer Direct Primary Care (DPC) at our Carrollwood and Town N’ Country locations. With one low monthly fee, you get unlimited access to your provider, longer appointments, and no surprise medical bills.
Whether you’re an individual, a family, or a small business looking to provide affordable healthcare for employees, DPC is a smarter, patient-first alternative to traditional insurance.
Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a membership-based model where patients pay a monthly fee—typically between $50 and $70—that covers most primary care services. There’s no insurance middleman, no copays, and no hidden charges.
This model allows us to focus on preventive care, chronic condition management, urgent concerns, and wellness support without rushing appointments or limiting access.
Patients love DPC because it eliminates barriers to quality healthcare. With Vital AMC, you’ll experience:
Same-day or next-day visits in person or virtually
Longer appointments mean more time for your questions and concerns
No copays, no billing games, no surprise medical bills
Affordable care for adults, children, and seniors
Keep health issues small before they become big problems
Care available in both English and Spanish
Affordable, unlimited access to a provider who knows you personally.
A cost-effective healthcare benefit for employees without the high cost of traditional insurance.
Save money by using DPC for most healthcare needs and keeping insurance for emergencies.
More time with your provider to manage conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, or thyroid disorders.
Traditional healthcare often means waiting weeks for an appointment, spending just a few rushed minutes with your doctor, and getting hit with surprise bills afterward. At Vital Advanced Medical Center, Direct Primary Care is designed to be the opposite:
So glad I finally found such a GREAT medical practice!!! Carolina & her staff are amazing. She is hands down the best PCP I’ve ever had, medically and emotionally. I’ve had more care and progress in the last few months than the last few years. I wish I could give more stars!!!
I can't say enough about Dr. Carolina Jones! She is amazing and truly cares for her patients. Her keen attention, passion and holistic approach to medical care is rare and greatly appreciated. The staff are friendly and always on hand to help you with anything. Highly recommend!
Wonderful clinic, in all these years in America I have never seen a clinic with super polite people who speak 3 different languages, a super clean and pleasant environment and I loved the reception with snacks and water for customers. I became a member.
Vital Advanced Medical Center provided the most personal, thorough comprehensive physical in my 55 years. Great professional and friendly staff and felt like my well being was a real priority to them. I'll be back!

Family Nurse Practitioner
“I grew tired of the traditional model of primary care. Patients deserve excellent, affordable care—delivered when they need it, not weeks later.”
Dr. Kenneth Argote is a board-certified, doctorally prepared Family Nurse Practitioner with more than 12 years of experience. He began his career at the University of South Florida, earning his Bachelor of Science in Nursing with honors before working in the Emergency Department and cardiac unit. His time caring for acutely ill patients sparked a realization: many hospitalizations could have been prevented with better primary care.
Motivated by this vision, he returned to USF to complete his Master of Science in Nursing with a focus on Family Primary Care in 2014, followed by his Doctor of Nursing Practice degree in 2019. Over the years, Dr. Argote has provided preventive, acute, and chronic care for patients of all ages while growing increasingly frustrated with how traditional insurance models limit patient outcomes.
In 2021, he founded Vital Advanced Medical Center to create a better way forward through Direct Primary Care—removing barriers, putting patients first, and providing care that is both high-quality and affordable. Today, he continues to lead the practice with a focus on whole-person health and long-term relationships.
