The Company...
The Call Doctor Medical Group was established in 1985, founded on the principle that prompt, comprehensive medical care delivered in the home is more desirable and less expensive than hospital-based options.

The concept was pioneered by C. Gresham Bayne, MD, who built the first mobile van and began making calls to prove the concept clinically. Over two years and more than 250 housecalls, Dr. Bayne re-engineered the van and pinpointed which items proved crucial to the mobile healthcare mission.

In 1987, Call Doctor Medical Group, Inc. was formed as a multi-specialty family practice with a group of senior staff physicians at Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla, California. With $300,000 seed capital, the first mobile physician treatment center rapidly expanded the practice. Over the next three years, three sequential hospital contracts were developed in the San Diego area.

Already, Call Doctor is the leading supplier of comprehensive medical care delivered in the home in San Diego, Riverside and San Bernardino counties. Currently, we serve a wide variety of patient populations, amassing some 60,000 housecalls to date.

Under its professional management, the company is healthy and forward-looking. Our mission is to become America's leader in providing management and support services to physicians and medical plans seeking to enhance service and quality of care in the home environment. Over the next five years, we intend to roll out our concept across America.

With 1-800-CALL DOC, the doctor will see you now... at home.
That's the cornerstone of our special brand of services. Neither an ambulance nor substitute for 911, Call Doctor is more like a well-equipped, professionally staffed emergency room that comes to the patient's home.

We strongly believe that there is no better place to receive medical treatment than in the comfort and healing environment of one's own home. The busy schedules of todayıs private practice physicians, coupled with a sick patient's lack of transportation and aversion to a hospital setting, fuels the demand for the Call Doctor service.
