About Alternity Healthcare

What is Alternity Healthcare?

Alternity Healthcare is a concierge medical practice at 639 Park Rd, Suite 200, West Hartford, CT 06107. It serves Greater Hartford and Connecticut, and members can travel from further away by arrangement. The phone number is (860) 561-2294.

Desmond Ebanks, MD, is the founder and medical director, and he is a board-certified Internal Medicine specialist with nearly four decades of clinical experience across Internal, Age Management, and Longevity Medicine. He is the only prescriber the practice names. Claudia Bernedo, RN, MSN, is Clinical Nurse Manager and the first point of contact for members.

The practice lists these services: concierge medicine, Diagnose, Restore, Sustain, and Membership. Diagnose is the workup the practice describes as finding the mechanism behind a change in energy, recovery, or sharpness. Restore rebuilds the function a member has lost, and Sustain is the long-term plan. It does not name weight loss, hormone therapy, or peptide therapy as services. Its measuring tool is called the Metabolic Precision Suite, and its Google listing shows a 5 rating from 17 reviews.

In its own words: "Membership at Alternity is not a package of services. It is access to a physician."

What does it cost?

Membership begins at $10,000 annually. The practice says that fee buys the relationship with its physician, not a set number of visits or procedures. Specific clinical programs are priced separately and discussed as part of a plan. It does not publish a price for its separate track for members under 45.

It does not say whether insurance is accepted, whether the membership includes medication, or what a consultation costs. It gives no cancellation or commitment terms.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask whether the $10,000 covers lab work and the mobile blood draws, or whether those are billed separately. Ask whether medication is included, and if one is prescribed, whether it is brand-name or compounded. Ask what the consultation costs and whether it counts toward membership.

Ask how cancellation works and whether any part of the fee is refundable. Ask whether insurance is billed for any part of your care. Ask whether visits are in person only or whether telehealth is available, and what the office hours are, since none are listed. If you are under 45, ask the price of the separate track and what it includes.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want one named physician to oversee your care over several years, you can pay an annual fee starting at $10,000, and you are looking for the diagnose, restore, and sustain approach rather than one specific treatment. If you came for weight loss, hormone, or peptide care, the practice does not name any of those, so put that question first.
