Physician – founded.
Physician – owned.
Physician – led.

Our physician leadership designs clinical programs that align with hospital system objectives, from emergency stroke protocols to behavioral health infrastructure. Working alongside clinical expertise, our technology specialists architect systems that integrate seamlessly with existing hospital workflows. This physician-first approach ensures every solution addresses real clinical needs rather than imposing generic technology.

With over 200 board-certified neurologists and psychiatrists serving more than 400 hospital locations across 30 health systems, we have completed 1.5+ million patient consultations. Our continued expansion responds directly to the growing specialist shortage directly affecting hospitals nationwide.
