What makes us different
Top-notch, consistent primary care is hard to find these days and there is little to no discussion about how to narrow the health equity gap for patients with HMO or Health Insurance Marketplace plans. This is why Dr. Edwards created Zara Medical. We aim to provide consistent, top-notch primary and preventive care by utilizing technology to enhance the patient experience without a membership fee.
