Our Doctors Come to You!
Physician House Calls for the San Francisco Bay Area
MD TeleHealth Consults for patients throughout California
Now Offering 24 Hour In-Home COVID 19 Lab Testing services for the SF Bay Area
Our house call doctor uses face mask, gown, gloves, and cap to minimize COVID transmission risk.
We ask all patients to wear a face mask as well during the doctor house call visit.
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 chance of virus transmission.

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.
Your bedside manner was amazing. Thank you so very much.
