Just Landed and Need a Doctor? Doctors To You is Just a Phone Call Away!

TRAVEL HEALTH

Luggage packed and loaded? Check. Itinerary for the day planned? Check. Phones charged and ready to go? Check.
Seems like a typical checklist for a busy traveler but it’ s also the same checklist that Dr. Ernest Brown runs through on a daily basis. Dr. Brown is a house-call physician based in the Washington D. C. metro area. He spends his days taking incoming calls from patients looking for medical advice, scheduling his busy day of house calls in the city, and loading and unloading his black medical bag.
If you’ ve ever been in a traditional clinic— particularly after a long journey being jostled in a crowded plane or when there’ s a bug going around the office— you’ ll know the tedium of the inevitable wait before you can see the doctor. It feels ridiculous to spend so long waiting when sometimes all you need is a quick chat or visit from a doctor who will take the time to listen.
That is why Dr. Brown founded Doctors To You, with the ambitious mission to rebuild the doctor-patient relationship, so that patients receive the best possible care whenever and wherever they need it, whether it be in their home, hotel room, office, or embassy. The hallmark of this service is the team at Doctors To You continues to care for you until you are back on your feet. A further testament to their commitment, patients aren’ t charged until they feel better— an impressive guarantee.
Doctors To You takes an“ old is new again” approach to medicine.
Patients range from pro bono work to VIP’ s, D. C. residents to traveling tourists, and all patients are treated with the same respect and given the same amount time needed for a thorough diagnosis. From a“ sunriseto-sunset” philosophy, meaning patients include babies to the elderly, and interpreters available for over 170 different languages, there is nobody that Doctors To You is unable to service.
Traveling business people don’ t have to worry if they forget medication, and families on vacation no longer have to stress if their child becomes sick and they don’ t know where to take them. Doctors To You is here to provide the support and care needed from start to finish.
Whatever journey you’ re on, whether you live in the Washington D. C. area or are just passing through, Doctors To You is available to ease your mind and take care of your health until you are back on your feet and ready to take off.
