A Practice Built Around Time
Understanding a patient takes more than fifteen minutes
The genetic, physical and emotional threads that shape a person's health cannot be untangled in a rushed appointment. That kind of attention is simply not possible in conventional practice today.
By limiting the number of patients I care for, I can give each one the time that good medicine requires — not only to manage complex problems, but to concentrate on prevention and long-term wellness.
Patients tell me the greatest benefit is peace of mind: knowing their physician is reachable, knows their history, and will be there when something goes wrong.

Why a Personal Physician
The everyday difference in how care is delivered
Same-day or next-business-day appointments
Urgent or not, you are seen promptly — not weeks later. Annual evaluations are scheduled for a full hour.
Unhurried visits, little
or no waiting
Thirty minutes for a standard appointment means every question is answered before you leave the office.
Prevention as the
center of care
A personal wellness plan built around your history, your risks and the life you intend to keep living.
Affiliated with Rush University Medical Center since 1989 — internship, residency, chief residency, and twenty-one years of practice on the Rush campus.
The Rush Relationship
Priority referrals, built on decades of trust
Dr. Palmer trained at what is now Rush University Medical Center and practiced there for more than two decades before moving to personalized care. Those working relationships with Rush specialists endure.
When a patient needs a cardiologist, a surgeon or a subspecialist opinion, he calls a colleague directly and arranges priority referrals — often the same week, with your records sent ahead of the visit.
Should you be hospitalized, Dr. Palmer serves as your attending physician and advocate. You will not be handed to a hospitalist who has never met you.
