Dr. Adelaide Francois founded Sistascope direct primary care several years ago and has been able to bring it to fruition in 2021. As an attending, Dr. Francois frequently watched how outpatient medical facilities crammed a bunch of patients on the doctor’s schedule, leaving LESS THAN 15 minutes of dedicated physician time to the patient. Patients felt rushed. Physicians often had to turn down multiple complaints in order to properly address the most important issue. This meant even educational time with the patient was compromised. It was during this time she decided that she needed to offer a better system of care.
It is Dr. Francois’s hope that with this different model, her patients can sense a better level of care and trust from their PCP. She challenges her patients to be accountable for understanding basic concepts of their disease processes.

From a young age, Dr. Tony Arnott was deeply influenced by the medical challenges his mother faced during her battle with cancer. Witnessing her undergo chemotherapy and radiation treatments kindled a profound desire within him to aid those suffering from chronic and terminal diseases. This early experience led him to pursue a bachelor's degree in cytotechnology from Marshall University, which he completed in 1998.
After several years in the field of cytology, Dr. Arnott decided to deepen his medical knowledge and skills by returning to academia. He earned his medical degree from West Virginia University in 2007 and chose to specialize in family medicine. He completed his residency at Floyd Medical Center in Rome, Georgia, where he greatly benefited from the unopposed family medicine program.
Over the past 15 years, Dr. Arnott has primarily worked in urgent care and primary care settings. His personal health struggles with polyneuropathy and Lyme disease exposed him to the limitations of conventional Western medicine and spurred him to explore functional medicine. This journey led to significant personal healing through lifestyle changes, dietary supplements, and IV infusions. In 2021, after being bedridden for more than six months, he found considerable relief and eventual recovery through alternative treatments.
These experiences made Dr. Arnott a staunch advocate for cannabis. He successfully discontinued all prescription medications, relying instead on CBD and other nutraceuticals. His recent role in a functional medicine primary care setting allowed him to observe firsthand the dramatic improvements cannabis could bring to patients with chronic diseases, cancer, autoimmune disorders, chronic pain, migraines, and neurodegenerative disorders. Many of these patients were able to substantially reduce their conventional medical treatments and enhance their overall quality of life.
Board-certified in family medicine, Dr. Arnott is now fully committed to the cannabis industry and is currently working with Kaya Life. He derives immense satisfaction from seeing patients benefit from using cannabis as an alternative therapy, often reducing or eliminating their dependence on medications such as benzodiazepines and opioids. Dr. Arnott is passionate about helping others achieve better health and a higher quality of life through holistic and integrative approaches.
