CoreMed Clinic was created to bring back relationship-based medicine — direct access, transparent pricing, and personalized care.
Meet Your Provider
Vladislav Balko, PA-C
Experienced, compassionate care from a dedicated healthcare professional. With years of experience in urgent care, family medicine, and pediatrics, Vlad brings a wealth of knowledge to CoreMed Clinic’s Direct Primary Care model.
"Hi, I’m Vlad. I started CoreMed with one simple goal: to bring common-sense, relationship-based healthcare back to primary care. No rushed visits. No insurance middlemen. No waiting weeks to be seen when you’re sick.
My Approach to Care
As a board-certified Physician Assistant, I provide comprehensive primary care for families, adults, and children. My practice focuses on prevention, chronic disease management, and providing same- or next-day care when you need it most.
Training & Education
- Bachelor of Science in Anthropology/Biology from Western Washington University
- Master of Medical Science from North Greenville University
- Nationally Certified Physician Assistant by NCCPA since 2021
- Licensed to practice in South Carolina
- Clinical experience in urgent care, family medicine, and pediatrics.
Outside the Clinic
When I’m not taking care of patients, you’ll usually find me:
- Spending time with my wife and children.
- Playing soccer, hunting, and fishing.
- Staying active through fitness and the outdoors.
I practice what I preach—and I love helping patients build healthier, more active lives. I’d be honored to be your provider. Whether you're coming in for a routine physical, managing a chronic condition, or need a same-day sick visit, my goal is to provide the kind of care I'd want for my own family."

Why CoreMed Clinic?
CoreMed Clinic exists to bring primary care back to what it should be — personal, accessible, and built around you.
The Direct Primary Care Difference
Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a modern approach to healthcare that puts the patient–provider relationship first. Instead of billing insurance for every visit or service, DPC removes the insurance middleman entirely.
Why Choose DPC?
- Simple Membership: Patients pay a flat monthly fee, allowing your provider to focus on care—not paperwork, coding, or rushed appointments.
- Total Accessibility: You get same-day or next-day appointments and longer, unrushed visits designed to actually address your concerns.
- Personalized Care: Your provider has fewer patients, which means more time, better follow-up, and care that’s tailored to you—not a billing checklist.
- Direct Access: Members enjoy direct access to their provider through secure messaging, telehealth, and in-clinic visits.
- Transparent Pricing: Because there’s no insurance overhead, labs and imaging are offered at wholesale costs, saving you money.
