Welcome to Old School Medicine

Old School Medicine has become a welcoming alternative for many who have grown frustrated and lost in our current primary care system.  It delivers reliable, compassionate care that patients can count on, any time of the day, from experienced and well-rounded physicians.  With a timeless commitment to healing, it brings back the heart of medicine, where every patient is treated like family and no question goes unanswered.

These benefits  ensure you receive the customized, one-on-one attention you need, exactly when you need it.

Will insurance cover my membership fee?

The membership fee is not covered by your health insurance plan and is your individual responsibility.
