About Vektor Health
A small practice, built carefully.
Vektor Health is a private, physician-led concierge telehealth practice for hormone optimization, peptide therapy, and metabolic medicine. We're anchored in the New Jersey / New York corridor and launching state-by-state across the U.S. The whole practice is built around a simple idea: fewer patients, longer visits, real labs, one chart.
Why we built this
Hormones, peptides, and metabolic medicine are the wrong fit for a quiz funnel.
The DTC telehealth boom collapsed two very different products under one label. Quiz-funnel platforms — Hims, Ro, Henry, Mochi — are built to acquire and treat as many patients per dollar as possible. They work for narrow, single-condition care: an ED prescription for a 35-year-old, finasteride for hair loss, a generic SSRI. The model is fast, cheap, and clinically defensible for those use cases.
It works poorly for anything requiring labs, ongoing dose adjustment, individualization, or a clinical relationship that needs to evolve. Hormone optimization. GLP-1 protocols beyond initial titration. Peptide therapy. Metabolic management. These are the cases where the quiz-funnel model breaks — and where most of the patients we've talked to landed before finding us.
Vektor is built the opposite way. A board-certified physician you can name. Visits long enough to actually matter. Labs reviewed line-by-line on a video call. Direct messaging with your clinician — not a support queue. Sourcing through a U.S. 503A pharmacy partner, not gray-market peptide sites.
We chose the New Jersey / New York corridor as our anchor because the practice was easier to build there, the regulatory complexity rules out most quiz-funnel platforms (NY's Corporate Practice of Medicine doctrine, in particular), and frankly because the patients we want to treat live there. Geographic expansion follows physician licensing, not marketing reach.
Founding team
The people behind the practice.
Vektor is being formed. Three founders are publicly named below. The fourth — our specialist sports-medicine clinician — joins the moment their COIB clearance with the City of New York completes. Their full credentials publish that day.
Dr. Dana Mannor, MD
Medical Director & Founding Physician
Dr. Mannor leads clinical care at Vektor Health. Her practice background in orthopedic surgery brings a sports-medicine sensibility to hormone, peptide, and metabolic protocols — emphasizing recovery, body composition, and the lab-driven decisions that make those protocols actually work over time. She owns the New York Professional Corporation through which clinical care is delivered.
Full credentials (board certification, state licensure numbers, prior practice affiliations) are published at launch.
Joseph Guarneri, RN
Clinical Operations Lead & Co-Founder
Joseph anchors clinical operations and patient experience. His prior work at a New Jersey hormone-optimization clinic informs Vektor's approach to intake, lab cadence, and the day-to-day clinical workflow. He's the operational reason patients get continuity instead of a different prescriber every renewal.
Jason “Jay” Valerio
Founder & CEO
Jay leads platform, growth, and business operations. He's also CEO/CTO of Sage Solutions LLC, a managed services provider with healthcare-IT background. The technical and infrastructure decisions on the platform — HIPAA-aware data flows, security posture, vendor governance — go through him.
Joining at launch
Sports-Medicine MD — Co-Founder / Co-Medical Director
Specialist clinician (joining at launch)
An FDNY-affiliated sports-medicine physician with hormone, peptide, and metabolic-medicine training joins as Co-Medical Director once their conflict-of-interest disclosure with the City of New York is cleared. Their full bio is published the day they're cleared to do so.
Physician Assistant — Treatment Team
Joining month 3 of operations
A licensed Physician Assistant joins the treatment team in month three to handle continuing-care follow-ups across peptide, TRT, and hair restoration protocols, freeing the physicians to focus on protocol design and complex cases.
Our standards
What “done right” means at Vektor.
- A real physician you can name. Not “our clinical team.” The clinician who signs your prescription is findable, board-certified, licensed in your state, and the same person who reads your labs.
- Lab-driven, not lab-ordered. Anyone can order a panel. We review them line-by-line with you on a video call and adjust protocol based on what they actually show — not against a one-size template.
- U.S. 503A pharmacy partner only. Every compounded medication ships from a LegitScript- certified U.S. compounding pharmacy. We do not source from gray-market peptide sites or research-chemical resellers.
- No research peptides. We do not prescribe retatrutide, cagrilintide, or other compounds that haven't cleared FDA Phase II/III trials. The ones we do prescribe (BPC-157, TB-500, CJC, Ipamorelin, Thymosin Alpha-1, GHK-Cu, etc.) are caveated honestly with current 503A regulatory posture.
- Honest pricing. Membership covers the doctor, labs, and messaging. Products are priced à la carte at fair retail. No bundles that hide markup, no surprise lab bills, no “wellness” upsell add-ons.
- HIPAA from day one. PHI lives only in our clinical platform with signed Business Associate Agreements across every vendor. The marketing site does not collect PHI — name and email only.
How the practice is organized
Two entities, one practice.
Vektor Health operates through two coordinated legal entities, a structure required to comply with the Corporate Practice of Medicine doctrine in New York and the equivalent professional- practice rules in New Jersey:
- A physician-owned Professional Corporation (PC) — owned and directed by our Medical Director — actually delivers clinical care.
- A Management Services Organization (MSO) — owned by the founders — handles platform operations, patient experience, marketing, billing infrastructure, and vendor relationships.
The two entities operate under a Management Services Agreement that uses a fixed management fee structure (not a percentage of clinical revenue), keeping the practice on the right side of state fee-splitting rules. The MSO does not direct or influence clinical decisions — that authority sits entirely with the licensed physicians inside the PC.
This structure is more work to set up than the “file an LLC and start prescribing” approach taken by some quiz-funnel platforms. We chose it because it's the right way to operate in New York and New Jersey, and because getting the structure right at the start avoids unwinding it under regulatory pressure later.
