Primary care that comes to you in East Hanover
East Hanover is where our office is, so it is usually the shortest drive we make all day. Same-day requests from East Hanover are the ones we can most often say yes to.
Where East Hanover goes for hospital care, and why that matters
East Hanover sits between Morristown Medical Center to the west and Saint Barnabas in Livingston to the east, so residents here are split between the two depending on which specialist they see. Both mean a drive on Route 10 or Eagle Rock Avenue. Our own office is on Eagle Rock Avenue, which makes East Hanover the shortest journey we make. That matters most when something is wrong today rather than next week.
The homes we visit in East Hanover
Quiet residential streets of post-war homes, with newer townhouse developments mixed in. Many households are long settled, and a fair number are multigenerational, with an adult child managing a parent's care alongside a full-time job. Those are the families who most often ask whether the doctor can simply come to the house.
Life Primary Care is a house call practice based in East Hanover, and East Hanover sits inside our regular Morris County route. A clinician comes to your home with a portable exam kit and your chart already open. A first visit runs 45 to 60 minutes, which is time enough to examine you properly, go through every medication in the house and write a plan your family can actually follow.
We visit private homes, apartments, condominiums, family members' houses, independent living and assisted living residences in East Hanover and nearby Livingston, Florham Park, Whippany and Hanover.
People look for this under several names: a house call doctor in East Hanover, a visiting physician, a mobile doctor, in-home medical care, or simply a doctor who comes to your house. They all describe what we do. Homebound seniors are a large part of the practice, though you do not need to be homebound to be seen.
What we handle at home
Routine primary care and annual physicals, chronic conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart failure and COPD, Medicare Annual Wellness Visits, care in the days after a hospital discharge, dementia and geriatric care, and same-day urgent problems for established patients. We draw blood, run EKGs and arrange mobile imaging without you leaving the house.
After a hospital stay
If you or a relative in East Hanover has just been discharged from Morristown Medical Center or Saint Clare's Denville, the first two weeks are the risky part. We can usually visit within two to three days to reconcile the discharge medication list against what is really in the cabinet and confirm that home health has arrived. We are independent and not affiliated with any hospital system.

We accept Original Medicare, most Medicare Advantage plans and major commercial insurers, and we bill exactly as a clinic would. There is no charge for coming to East Hanover. Call 973-607-4911 and we will check your specific plan before anything is scheduled.
