Alpha Performance Health Salina

Alpha was founded in 2023 by Margaret Ptacek, a family nurse practitioner who built the practice after years of work in family medicine. It was set up as a proactive model rather than one that manages symptoms after problems develop. The stated mission is to help people preserve health, capacity and resilience as they age, and the clinic describes its model as designed for business owners, executives and athletes.

Treatment plans start from each patient's genetic and biomarker data rather than a standard protocol. Genomic testing uses an at-home mouth swab to look at inherited genetic variations, and the results are read alongside medical history and clinical data. Biomarker testing covers hormones, inflammation, thyroid function, micronutrient status, cardiovascular markers and metabolism, with detailed lab interpretation. The medical clinic also takes a functional medicine view, considering how symptoms may connect to history, hormones, metabolism, inflammation, nutrition and lifestyle.

A first visit reviews medical history, recent labs, symptoms, lifestyle and personal priorities, and may discuss whether biomarker, genomic or hormone testing would help. Patients are asked to bring recent lab results, current medications and supplements, and relevant medical records. Some patients begin with a focused assessment, while others move into ongoing follow-up. Visits are by appointment. The practice is cash-pay and does not bill services through insurance, and pricing can be reviewed with the team before anything is scheduled.

The Spring Hill office, at 17475 W 191st St, is open Monday through Friday from 8:00am to 5:00pm and serves patients from Olathe, Gardner, Edgerton, Stilwell, Paola and the wider Kansas City metro area. An at-home genomic and biomarker assessment with a telehealth consultation is also offered, starting at $950, for people who want to fit testing around work or travel.

Each plan is built from the patient's genetic and biomarker data. Early steps may focus on inflammation, nutritional gaps or hormone optimization before targeted options such as peptides, regenerative medicine or orthobiologic treatments are considered.
