Two Physicians.
One Care Plan.

ZenCare is a physician-led private practice combining Internal Medicine and Psychiatry, with additional care in weight and metabolic health, prevention, and health and wellness coaching.

Our approach recognizes that physical and mental health can influence one another while maintaining the clinical depth and responsibility of each specialty.

No. Your care is based on your individual needs.

Some patients may work primarily with Zakari Kwota, MD (Dr. K), for Internal Medicine, while others may receive psychiatric care from Vanessa Danquah, MD, MBA (Dr. D).

When a patient's needs cross traditional specialty boundaries, coordination between the ZenCare physicians may be appropriate. Choosing ZenCare does not mean every patient automatically receives care from both physicians.

ZenCare is a telehealth-forward physician practice.

Many appointments can be conveniently provided through telehealth when clinically appropriate. Some concerns require an in-person examination, testing, procedure, vital signs, or other face-to-face evaluation.

Telehealth when appropriate. In-person when needed.

Telehealth availability may also depend on the patient's physical location at the time of the visit and applicable physician licensure requirements.

Yes. ZenCare offers weekday and Saturday appointment options.

Saturday appointments provide additional flexibility for patients balancing work, family, and other responsibilities. Availability varies by physician, service, and schedule.

Active members receive priority access to available Saturday appointments according to their membership benefits.

No. Membership is optional.

You can receive ZenCare care on a pay-per-visit basis without committing to a monthly membership.

Membership is designed for patients who want a more continuous ZenCare relationship with defined physician follow-up access, secure communication, priority scheduling, and other included benefits.

Patients may continue receiving care visit by visit without becoming members.

ZenCare offers three membership options:

Yes. ZenCare provides physician-led Weight & Metabolic Health care for appropriate patients.

Our approach looks beyond the number on the scale and considers factors such as medical history, metabolic health, medications, nutrition, activity, sleep, behavior, and other relevant health factors.

Treatment may include lifestyle interventions and weight-management medication when clinically appropriate. Medication is not automatically recommended or prescribed to every patient.

Active ZenCare memberships include secure, non-urgent communication related to established care.

Messaging may be appropriate for brief treatment questions, clarification of physician instructions, appropriate refill requests, and other limited issues related to established care. Some concerns require a scheduled appointment.

Messages are generally reviewed within 1–2 business days. Secure messaging is not an emergency service and does not provide 24/7 physician availability.

ZenCare is a private-pay practice.

ZenCare's fees and memberships do not replace health insurance.

Patients may still need health insurance or other coverage for services outside ZenCare, including hospital care, emergency services, outside specialists, medications, laboratory testing, imaging, and other healthcare expenses.

ZenCare is not an emergency service.

If you are experiencing a medical or psychiatric emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.

For a mental health or suicide-related crisis in the United States, call or text 988 to reach the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. Do not use routine ZenCare messaging or appointment requests for emergencies.

Visits are paid directly at the time of service. You may request a superbill for eligible services to submit to your insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Reimbursement is not guaranteed and depends on your individual plan.

Private-pay (cash-pay) medicine means you pay the practice directly for your visit. Pricing is transparent, there are no surprise visit bills, and routine visits do not require insurance authorization.

Yes. Patients may request a superbill for eligible services to submit to their insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Reimbursement is not guaranteed.

GLP-1 medications may be considered following an individualized weight and metabolic health evaluation. Eligibility and results vary, and treatment is not guaranteed.

Comprehensive adult ADHD evaluation and personalized treatment, including medication management, non-medication strategies, and referrals as needed.

No. ZenCare membership is not health insurance and does not replace comprehensive health insurance.

No. Membership supports an ongoing relationship with your ZenCare physician, not a guarantee that every concern can be managed by telehealth. Visit format depends on your needs and clinical circumstances; in-person evaluation is available when clinically appropriate or necessary.

Yes. Memberships may be cancelled according to the terms described in the membership agreement and cancellation policy.

Telehealth is available to patients physically located in Texas at the time of the visit.
