Care that actually knows you.
Hardcore Health was built for people who have had the seven-minute appointment, the lab result emailed with “everything looks normal,” and the prescription with no follow-up. What was missing was not another medication. It was a provider who read the whole chart.
Why we created Hardcore Health.
Hardcore Health exists because personalized care should not be a luxury. Too many people leave a doctor visit with a prescription and no real understanding of what is happening in their body, why a treatment was chosen, or what comes next.
We do telehealth differently. One board-certified nurse practitioner, Brittany Zaretsky, sees every patient herself. Your first visit is a conversation. Your labs are reviewed out loud. Your plan is built around your history, your labs, and the way your week actually runs, not a template handed to everyone.
Our role is to listen, evaluate, educate, and recommend treatment only when it is medically appropriate. If something is not the right fit, we tell you.
Care is delivered by secure video to eligible adults throughout Florida and Arizona, with a special focus on patients in Boca Raton, Parkland, Delray Beach, Coral Springs, and the surrounding South Florida community.
Clinical leadership
Led by Brittany Zaretsky, MSN, APRN, FNP-BC
Brittany is a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and the Director of Clinical Services at Hardcore Health. She built this practice around the opposite of the rush-job appointment.
She personally sees every patient, the same clinician at your first visit, your lab review, and every follow-up after that. That continuity is the point: your history does not get lost, your plan does not reset, and your questions do not start over with someone new each time.
First-time consultation $150 · Follow-up $75 · Florida and Arizona
The values that guide our care.
01
Time over speed
A first visit is a conversation, not a checkbox. We spend it understanding what you are experiencing, what you have tried, and what you actually want to change.
02
One provider, not a rotation
Your history, labs, and plan stay with the same clinician from the first visit through every follow-up. You never restart your story from scratch.
03
Labs explained, not emailed
When labs are ordered, we review them together. What each marker means for you, what is in range but not optimal, and what we are watching at your next draw.
04
Honest about fit
A consultation is not a prescription. If a medication is not appropriate for you, we say so and talk about what is. No protocol pushed on everyone who walks in.
05
Access between visits
Questions come up after the appointment ends. Ongoing patients message through the secure portal instead of waiting weeks for an opening.
06
Care that adjusts
Dose, timing, labs, and direction change as your body and goals change over months. Follow-ups exist to adjust, not to repeat the same script.
