Our Doctors Come to You!
Physician House Calls for the San Francisco Bay Area
Telemedicine Consults for patients throughout California
-We use COVID 19 precautions-
Now Offering COVID 19 Antibody Testing
In Your HOME or Workplace
Due to risk of COVID 19 transmission, we offer our house call services for non-COVID problems only. For patients with COVID 19-like symptoms, we provide convenient telemedicine doctor consults.
With house call service, our doctor will be face masked, gowned, gloved, and capped to minimize risk to patients. In addition to use of standard antiseptics for decontamination of medical equipment, we use UVC light and hypochlorous acid treatments. The doctor will provide minimal time with patients for the exam, and conversations with patients will be from at least 6 feet away and by phone before and after the visit. Ultrasound imaging done by our physician is used in place of stethoscope when possible in order to minimize close contact between physician and patient.
For more information about how we will protect you, please call us!

What Our Patients Say
Absolutely amazing service! Dr. John is responsive, personable, and professional. I was able to save my PTO by not taking off, I was able to get the medicine I needed right away without having to travel to the pharmacy, and he gave me all the forms I needed for insurance. I could not be happier with the service! 🙂

Absolutely fantastic! I am new to the area and haven't found a primary care physician yet. I was shocked at how quickly and easily I was able to be seen by a physician. Sparing all details, this is by far the best healthcare experience I have ever had. I would recommend this service to everyone.

I just wanted to let you know, that my insurance reimbursed me the expenses. Thank you again and lots of greetings from chilly Berlin.
I am really emailing you to express my extreme gratitude for your prompt and efficient service. Your bedside manner almost made it a pleasure to be ill ! (Maybe that's stretching it a bit). May you have every success in your venture to help people who become ill in unfamiliar surroundings.
