About
At Ford NY Direct Primary Care, Dr. Alex Ford delivers membership-based primary care to individuals, families, and communities across New York's Capital Region. He holds a rare dual credential as both a board-certified family physician and a registered dietitian. That combination lets him address medical and nutritional health within a single ongoing relationship.
The practice serves patients ages five and older from its Albany location at Pine West Plaza. Membership starts at $99 per month and covers primary care visits, direct physician access, and care coordination. Dr. Ford keeps his panel intentionally small. Members reach him directly and can schedule same-day visits, virtual appointments, or home visits for qualifying circumstances. The practice also offers employer partnership programs and community-sponsored membership pathways for underserved Capital Region residents.
