House call doctor in Bound Brook, NJ

Primary care that comes to you in Bound Brook

Bound Brook is a compact borough on the Raritan that knows more about flooding than it would like. Many residents live in apartments above the Main Street shops, reached by a single steep flight of stairs and nothing else.

Life Primary Care is a house call practice based in East Hanover, and Bound Brook sits inside our regular Somerset 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 Bound Brook and nearby South Bound Brook, Middlesex, Bridgewater, Manville and Green Brook.

People look for this under several names: a house call doctor in Bound Brook, 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 Bound Brook has just been discharged from Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Somerset in Somerville or Morristown Medical Center, 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.

Insurance in Bound Brook

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 Bound Brook. Call 973-607-4911 and we will check your specific plan before anything is scheduled.
