Meet Dr. Zane Ahmed, DO
Providing Telehealth Services to Mohave County and all of Arizona
Accepting New Patients Today
- I founded Sagauro Direct Care to bring medicine back to its intended purpose: personal, evidence-based, and relationship-driven.
- After years of working within traditional healthcare systems, I saw how insurance barriers and rushed visits often stood in the way of meaningful care. I created a direct primary care virtual practice to give patients something different: time, access, and a physician who truly listens.
- With Direct Primary Care, we form a private and affordable cash contract with our patients. This excludes insurance companies from routine care discussions, reserving them for true medical emergencies.
- Whether you're managing a chronic condition, optimizing your health, or simply looking for a doctor who knows you personally, my goal is simple: to provide personalized care built around you.

FAQ
Clear Answers For Smarter Telehealth Choices
Learn how Saguaro Direct Care handles virtual visits, direct access, membership care, and doctor communication before joining our telehealth practice.
Members pay a monthly fee for virtual primary care access. Saguaro Direct Care uses secure text, phone, and video visits for routine concerns, follow-ups, refills, and ongoing doctor communication.
Telehealth can support many needs, including common illnesses, medication refills, lab reviews, and chronic condition check-ins. When in-person care is needed, your doctor helps guide the next step.
Online urgent care often ends after one visit. Direct primary care builds an ongoing doctor-patient relationship, so your physician knows your history, follows your progress, and stays connected.
