Healthcare that finally feels personal.
Resurgent Health opened as North Dakota's first Direct Primary Care clinic to fix something we saw every day in traditional practice: patients felt rushed, unheard, and confused by their bills. Our model swaps insurance-driven medicine for a simple monthly membership that gives you unlimited visits, direct access to your provider, and transparent wholesale pricing on labs and medications.
Dr. Kristine Martens, DO, board-certified in Family Medicine, and Aly Dahl, PA-C lead the clinical team. Together with Megan, our nurse, we care for patients of all ages from newborns to geriatrics across Fargo, Moorhead, West Fargo and Horace. Learn how the direct primary care membership model works or read more about our team.
How direct primary care compares to a traditional clinic:
Your membership covers your primary care. Under the same physician-led roof, we also offer osteopathic manipulative therapy, medical weight loss, wellness, and aesthetics - all optional, all guided by your doctor.
Meet the experienced medical professionals behind our practice. Every member of our team is committed to compassionate care and results you can truly trust.

Ashley Amerman: “Aly and her team have provided the best healthcare experience I have ever had in Fargo—far beyond anything I have experienced within larger healthcare systems. Their compassion, understanding, knowledge, and completely nonjudgmental approach set them apart in every possible way. Aly has truly saved my life more than once, and I do not say that lightly. Her heart is genuinely in the work she does, and it shows in every appointment, every conversation, and every decision she makes regarding my care. She listens closely, takes my concerns seriously, and puts everything she has into finding answers. She does not stop at the easiest explanation or dismiss symptoms simply because they are complicated. She takes the time to look deeper and get to the bottom of what is happening. There have been times when other healthcare providers dismissed my concerns or failed to investigate further. Aly continued searching, ordered the appropriate testing, and found serious issues that others may not have even considered. Her attention to detail, persistence, and willingness to truly listen have made a life-changing—and, at times, lifesaving—difference for me. What makes Aly and her team so exceptional is that they treat the whole person, not just a list of symptoms. I have never felt rushed, judged, overlooked, or made to feel as though my questions were unimportant. Instead, I feel heard, respected, safe, and genuinely cared for. They take the time to explain things clearly, answer questions honestly, and make sure I understand my health and the options available to me. Even with insurance and access to other healthcare options, I would still choose Aly and her team without hesitation. I trust her with my health, my questions, my time, and honestly, my life. Finding a provider with this level of compassion, dedication, knowledge, and determination is incredibly rare. Aly does not simply provide medical care—she advocates for her patients and refuses to give up when answers are difficult to find. I will always be grateful for everything Aly and her team have done for me. They have changed my life, protected my health, and restored my trust in what healthcare can and should be. I cannot recommend them highly enough.”
Brett Erickson: “Extremely friendly and knowledgeable staff. Great service. I have become a new patient here and will be going again if needed in the future. It is undoubtedly a stronger alternative to a typical visit in a clinic or hospital when ill. People who don't feel heard or listened to at their medical providers should give Resurgent a try because you will get the attention you are seeking there.”
Starr Davis: “Resurgent Health they know how to prioritize patient care! Being treated like and individual- a human and not just a condition has been amazing. They embody so many needed changes in Healthcare. This is the future, don't wait to call them!”
Nicole Morrison: “I only have amazing things to say about my experiences with Resurgent Health! If you get anything from this review is that you will be seen and heard! Dr. martins and Megan is who I have direct experience with and they have made me feel so valued as a person…not just a patient. In one visit Dr. Martins approached my symptoms completely different from any other doctor…because she got the whole story and didn’t rush me out the door. Within days, I started improving! We then did bloodwork personalized for me and after years of traditional doctors telling me everything was “within normal limits”, she dug deeper (not bridled by insurance requirements and protocols). I finally have a lab verified diagnosis and a treatment plan that is working!! I literally started crying even typing that! They are approachable, reachable, and teachable as they lean everything they can about you and how they can help restore your health. This is real healthcare…not sick care! I cannot thank them enough! And I can’t wait to be able to feel like myself again as we walk my health journey together! This may sound a little cheesy but I have been suffering for years so…I get to gush a little 😊🙌”
Theresa Klicker: “I love going to Dr Martens. I’ve been her patient for over 10 years. She’s caring, kind, and ensures I have the best care possible. She was able to quickly diagnose and begin care for issues that other physicians had missed. My family all go here now. If possible, I’d give the staff a 100 star rating!”
