Dr. Sarah Baxley didn’t create Access Now Primary Care to follow the rules—she created it because the rules were failing people.
After years of working within a healthcare system that prioritized speed over substance and checkboxes over real human connection, she reached a breaking point. She watched too many patients get rushed out the door, dismissed without answers, or quietly abandoned by a system that saw them as problems to manage instead of people to care for.
Some were told their symptoms were “just stress.”
Some were handed prescriptions instead of plans.
And many were left to navigate complex mental and physical health challenges alone—without the support, respect, or time they deserved.
Dr. Baxley knew this wasn’t care. It was damage control.
And she refused to be part of a system that normalized it.
When the system couldn’t give her the tools—or the time—to care for patients the way they needed, she did what she’s always done: she created her own path. Access Now was born out of that refusal to settle.
Today, Access Now Primary Care is a virtual-first, trauma-informed medical practice that breaks every mold the traditional system tried to enforce. It exists for the ones who’ve been misdiagnosed, misunderstood, or told they were “too much.” For the ones who’ve been left behind. For the ones who deserve better.
With dual board certifications in both Primary Care and Psychiatric Mental Health, Dr. Baxley brings a rare combination of clinical expertise and deep emotional insight to her work. But more than that—she brings unapologetic advocacy. She speaks truth. She disrupts the status quo. And she refuses to let patients settle for less than they deserve.
At Access Now, patients aren’t treated like cases.
They’re treated like humans.
And under Dr. Baxley’s leadership, they’re finally heard.
