House call doctor in Manville, NJ
Primary care at your kitchen table in Manville. No clinic, no waiting room, no travel fee.
Primary care that comes to you in Manville
Manville is a tight grid of modest homes with a strong community and a long memory of river flooding. There is no train, and for households without a spare driver a routine check-up quietly slips down the list.
Life Primary Care is a house call practice based in East Hanover, and Manville 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 Manville and nearby Hillsborough, Bound Brook, Bridgewater, Franklin Township and Raritan.
People look for this under several names: a house call doctor in Manville, 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 Manville 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.

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