House call doctor in Parsippany, NJ

Primary care that comes to you in Parsippany

Parsippany is spread out and car dependent, which is exactly the problem when someone stops driving. We cover Troy Hills, Lake Parsippany, Mount Tabor and the Route 46 and Route 202 neighbourhoods.

Where Parsippany goes for hospital care, and why that matters

Parsippany is spread across a very large footprint, and where residents go for hospital care depends on which part of the township they live in. Saint Clare's in Denville is closest for many, while Morristown Medical Center takes most of the specialist work. Either way it is a drive on Route 46, Route 202 or Route 10, none of which are pleasant at the wrong hour. For a patient who has stopped driving, that journey is somebody else's afternoon.

The homes we visit in Parsippany

Troy Hills, Lake Parsippany, Mount Tabor and Lake Hiawatha each feel different, but the pattern is similar: split-levels and ranches bought decades ago by families who never left. Bedrooms are usually upstairs, and the bathroom that matters is upstairs too. There are also townhouse and condominium developments where we can often see several residents on one trip.

Life Primary Care is a house call practice based in East Hanover, and Parsippany 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 Parsippany and nearby Lake Hiawatha, Mount Tabor, Whippany and Denville.

People look for this under several names: a house call doctor in Parsippany, 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 Parsippany 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 Parsippany. Call 973-607-4911 and we will check your specific plan before anything is scheduled.
