MD2's high touch medicine combines passionate personal care with thesuperior expertise of two leading physicians. MD2 selected Drs. Steven Galloand Joseph J. Hennessy after a rigorous search for the most notedpractitioners in the area. They have more than 15 years experiencerespectively and join eight other MD2 physicians nationwide who care for 50families each. Focusing on a smaller group of families, versus the 3,000 -6,000 patients seen annually by many primary care physicians, enables them toprovide highly attentive care in a private and comfortable setting.
"Our physician becomes your personal doctor," said Mr. Hoedemaker. "Theyhave the time to accompany you to the specialist or to meet you at the ER ifneeded. Because they are only caring for 50 families, they are with you everystep of the way."
