Medical Excellence… from the Heart

In partnering with us, many of our patients seek and discover a healthier chapter in their life.

Our membership practice allows extra time with your primary care physician to focus on your unique health concerns and goals.

Our core mission is to care for you across your health-life continuum to include acute illness and chronic illness care and to develop your health goals at an annual comprehensive physical. Throughout the year our team works with you to help achieve your goals.

The most complex illnesses are best treated by your primary care doctor working with specialty physicians. We select specialists based on their knowledge and leadership in their field, as well as their ability to communicate and care.

Personal Health MD is affiliated with Brigham and Women’s Hospital, uses EPIC EMR, and provides access to the MGH, BWH, and Beth Israel Hospital systems.

College Students

We take a special interest in college student care, from illness care to navigating a healthy lifestyle, to optimizing academic success and personal growth.

Studies show benefit from use of positive psychology and healthier habits such as studying, sleep patterns, eating, fitness, substance use, and sexual health. Sometimes this naturally leads into the existential “Who am I and what am I doing with my life”.

Personal Health MD provides college students with a safety net they can turn to while in Boston and then beyond.
