“Medical marijuana is medicine - and like all medicine, it works best when your physician understands your complete health picture. That’s why we evaluate you as a whole person, not just a qualifying condition.”
Medicine with the full picture.
Florida law allows physicians to certify patients with qualifying medical conditions for medical marijuana use. At Ascend, Dr. Saylor evaluates each patient as part of your overall health - not as a standalone transaction. Because he also manages your primary care, he understands your medications, your history, and your treatment goals.
Whether you’re managing chronic pain, PTSD, cancer-related symptoms, or another qualifying condition, your evaluation is thorough, your questions are answered, and your care continues under one roof.
