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 .
