Medici

A virtual-first, world class, healthcare system.

Are you ready to be happier, healthier, and wealthier?

Healthcare doesn’t have to look like this.

Arrogant.
Antiquated.
All about money.

Most people realize that healthcare is broken, but few know how bad it really is. Healthcare executives are some of the highest paid people in the world, but they aren’t paid to make you healthy. They are only paid when you get really sick, addicted, blow out your joints, or end in a bad place mentally. Simply put, healthy people bankrupt clinics, hospitals, pharma and medical device companies. No one is paid to keep you healthy. Most doctors would go out of business if just 20% of their patients got healthier. That’s a terrible business model.

Medici is the opposite.

A Proactive Approach to Health+Care

Your life will never be the same. You will live longer, you will have less pain, you will have more energy, and visit hospitals less – you will have a higher quality of life.

Medici is a modern healthcare system that has completely rebuilt healthcare from the ground up to be better in every way possible. You will find people with lower blood pressure, lower blood sugar and less depression.

The benefits for Medici members are unprecedented — Here are just a few.

  • Every member has a deeply resourceful concierge that can schedule doctor visits, chase down a medical record, or research a complex condition for you.
  • Access to emergency doctors 24 hours a day.
  • Assigned a remarkable primary care provider who can back up your doctor or be the quarterback for your entire health.
  • Access to 900 of the world’s best specialists when things get really complicated.
  • Access to over 10,000 labs, doctors and surgeons who are highly ranked and will never send you a balance bill.

Primary Care that Actually Cares.

Not only do Medici members have a concierge doctor, they have their own Concierge. We've invented this new profession in our quest to reinvent healthcare.

Without primary care, people end up in specialty care that's not right for them, getting care they often don't need, becoming more confused because the system is so complicated.

With Medici, you don't have to choose convenience or a good primary care doctor—You get both.

CARE CONCIERGE

Nicole Grimes

On a Monday morning in April Nicole saw a message that shook her.

A patient was detoxing from alcohol and having suicidal thoughts because her family life was in disarray.

Nicole reached out to nursing who got help on the way. She stayed on the phone with her, talked about her dogs and things that made her happy. When help arrived, she was hesitant to go because of her dogs, but Nicole promised her she would find help for them.

She reached out three days after discharge, and told Nicole, “You saved my life.”

She had no one to turn to and she trusted Nicole. She left an impression on her she still feels to this day. Nicole feels in her heart that she helped reconnect her and her family.

Patients like her are why this is truly Nicole’s calling.

PRIMARY CARE DOCTOR

Deborah Melendez

Dr. Melendez discovered her guiding principle in the jungles of Bolivia. While doing field research on tuberculosis patients, she was stunned to discover that patients weren’t completing their treatment, despite it being fully paid for by the government.

Deborah realized that patients need more than the right prescription. They need the right doctor and the right motivation. Simply, a consultation with Deborah is a masterclass in motivation for the body, mind and spirit.

 

“I see the whole person not just a medical profile. I treat the whole person not just a medical symptom. Let me help you live longer, happier, and healthier.”

 

Dr. Melendez is a board-certified family medicine physician. She began her medical career attaining honors in Biology at Wellesley College, before earning her medical degree from Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, TX.

She completed her internship at the Conroe Medical Education Foundation program and finished her residency at The Methodist Hospital in Houston in 2007. Over the past 14 years, Dr. Melendez has worked in private group practices, solo practice, and large federally-funded health centers. She is skilled at managing complex patients with acute and chronic problems.

PRIMARY CARE DOCTOR

Dr. Sida Yan

Dr. Sida Yan served on the front lines in Urgent Care during the pandemic, working 12-hour shifts in crisis conditions, all with a baby at home. Her husband built a UV light sanitizing cupboard in their garage for her to use at the end of each shift. Sida carries this same sacrificial commitment as a Medici Primary Care Doctor. Her empathy, love and experience make her a doctor like no other.

 

“I am profoundly committed to the health and happiness of my patients.”

 

Dr. Yan is a board-certified family medicine physician. She attended St. Louis University School of Medicine in her hometown of St. Louis, Missouri. After medical school, she joined her husband in San Antonio, where he was stationed as an active-duty Air Force officer. Sida completed her family medicine residency at UT

Health San Antonio and continues to enjoy practicing evidence-based medicine specifically tailored to each of her patient’s needs.

Hold on, I’d like to ask you a few more irrelevant questions.

We deliver impeccable virtual first, clinical care that keeps people out of the hospital and avoids unnecessary surgeries by focusing on integrated partnerships and collaborative care. A custom, un-fragmented, evidence based approach reduces costs and improves outcomes. The result is reduced costs and healthier employees with a higher quality of life.
