The doctor’s office at home
Physician Care
In an era where convenience and personalized healthcare are paramount, physician care at home offers a transformative approach to medical visits. At Highbridge Medical, our board-certified internal medicine physicians, Dr. Tiago Miguel and Dr. Bennett Clark, bring comprehensive physical exams, urgent or routine problem-focused evaluations, and ongoing care coordination directly to your doorstep. This service eliminates the hassle of commuting, waiting rooms, and rigid scheduling, allowing for thorough reviews of your medical history, symptoms, and lifestyle in the comfort of your own environment. With our two-physician model, you benefit from continuous availability, second opinions, and seamless communication via phone, email, or text, ensuring peace of mind and tailored care that fits your life.
Imaging
Advancements in mobile technology have made basic radiology testing at home not only feasible but increasingly practical for many patients. Portable X-ray machines and ultra-portable ultrasound devices can now deliver reliable imaging for conditions like fractures, lung assessments, or basic diagnostics without requiring a trip to a facility. These tools provide high-quality results comparable to traditional settings, enhancing accessibility for older adults, those with mobility issues, or anyone preferring home-based care. At Highbridge Medical, integrating such innovations means faster diagnoses, reduced exposure to hospital environments, and a more efficient path to treatment, all while maintaining the highest standards of safety and accuracy. As a house call practice, we have now established a partnership with a Westchester-based mobile radiology service that further enhances our ability to provide multidimensional care in the comfort of home.
Blood draws
Opting for blood draws at home brings a host of benefits that prioritize patient comfort and well-being. This service allows skilled phlebotomists to collect samples in a familiar setting, minimizing stress, anxiety, and the risk of exposure to illnesses often encountered in crowded clinics. It's particularly advantageous for individuals with busy schedules, chronic conditions, or mobility challenges, as it eliminates travel and long wait times while ensuring privacy and personalized attention. At Highbridge Medical, we leverage at-home blood draws to facilitate timely lab results, enabling quicker adjustments to treatment plans and better management of health conditions without disrupting your daily routine. We are pleased to announce a partnership with Speedysticks to help facilitate a comfortable, convenient, and efficient home blood drawing experience.
Clear benefits
When comparing a house call practice like Highbridge Medical to a traditional office-based one, the advantages of home-based care stand out in terms of convenience, quality, and outcomes. House calls remove barriers such as transportation difficulties, exposure to waiting room germs, and inflexible appointments, leading to improved patient satisfaction, peace of mind, and better access to care—especially for the elderly or homebound. They also foster deeper doctor-patient relationships through personalized assessments in real-life settings, reducing unnecessary hospitalizations and overall healthcare costs by up to $2,000 per patient annually in some models. In contrast, office-based practices often involve logistical hassles that can deter timely care, whereas our concierge model at Highbridge Medical emphasizes proactive, comprehensive service that enhances quality of life and long-term health management.
