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.
