Our doctors fill a role unlike any doctor you've ever seen. We care for you without boundaries.
Do you want doctor recommendations for things like colonoscopies, skin checks, or primary or urgent care? We're here for that.
No one is better at finding the right place for you to go and getting you in to be seen quickly. Unlike any single practice or concierge, we pool recommendations across hundreds of doctors and private data sources. We integrate personal qualities with professional expertise. Our chosen practices then provide specific profile data to us, not available elsewhere. The final result is unparalleled visibility into which doctors will be great for you.
Do you want to know whether a scan, test, or treatment is worth the money or has risks you don't know about? We're here for that, too.
You may have encountered doctors who stare blankly when you ask about your personal health interests, be they cutting edge tests and devices, improving your fitness and nutrition, or non-Western alternative remedies. We understand that these specialized topics can make a massive difference in people's lives, both for better and for worse. We don't hide from the complexity: we use our medical training, network, and time to guide you.
Did you or a loved one wind up in the hospital in the middle of the night? Of course, we're here for that, too.
We're all board-certified emergency physicians with thousands of hours managing emergencies, after all. And when Carte Clinics physicians are on-call, we're not fitting you in on top of an already packed schedule. You have our full attention.
No matter what comes up with your health, we take an interest and listen. And no matter what, we'll figure out how to help and care for you.
Treating patients as passive “guests” is on the way out. Mapping options is the future.
The last century of medical care centered around the hospital, a word which means "guest." Being treated as a guest, with someone taking charge over your care, is really only needed if you are very ill, unconscious, or in completely over your head.
Thankfully, we're living longer, have access to more information, and can be empowered now. It's time for another model. We don't want our doctors to make us feel like dependent guests in the house of medicine anymore. We want doctors to show us the map.
"Carte" means "map." Carte Clinics has spent thousands of hours mapping the topography of modern medicine's tests, specialists, and breakthroughs for our members. Equipped with a good map, our doctors will be your trustworthy guides.
We find the best medical routes for you. Because it's your journey.
