About
We offer care straight to you. You come to us with a problem but stay with us for the benefits.
Believe it or not, most providers go into healthcare to help people and make the healthcare system right. But it's been repeated time again: the healthcare system is broken, and it breaks patients and providers along with it.
Most agencies are run by businessmen, not doctors or actual medical staff, who tell doctors how, when, and where to provide their care. On the other hand, insurances dictate the care they will or will not offer to their patients. It's no wonder both providers and patients are unhappy.
At JustAskMed, we aim to eliminate the middlemen. We offer care straight to you. You come to us with a problem but stay with us for the benefits. Tackle the large, the small. Listen to yourself and put yourself first. We aim to retain our providers, so you can come and go. You'll have someone you know and trust still be there to provide you services in any stage of life, without insurance or without, healthy or sick. JustAsk... We're listening.
Meet The Founder
Founder Alex Clark came into healthcare with one goal in mind: to make healthcare better in the very communities that she lived in, in New York. After a particularly traumatic experience with a doctor that nearly led to her leg being amputated, she vowed to always remember that moment. What it was like to be in that position- to be that vulnerable and at the hands of medical providers she did not know. Alex had gone to free and community clinics her entire life. She saw firsthand how a good or bad doctor changed her life and her relationship with her family and body.
She realized how hard it is to talk to doctors who didn't speak her mother's language, or understood their culture, or just didn't listen. After graduating from Columbia University as a Family Nurse Practitioner, she worked in-home care, urgent care, nursing homes, and community clinics.
She understood that it's broken on both sides, no matter how good her intentions. She also noticed a rare phenomenon: she became all of her friends and family's primary care provider and "second opinion" giver. Everyone already had their doctors and insurances, so why did they need her assistance so often? Why did both her insured and uninsured friends need her opinion and services? Cue the birth of JustAskMed, complementing your health care, providing real-life applicable actions, advice, tips, and referrals- in platforms that you already use.
