Concierge Medicine
Personalized care for you.
At NOVAMED Associates, outstanding care means much more than treating illness. It involves understanding the complex web of genetic, physical and emotional aspects that affects a patient’s health, educating on preventative measures and working together on individualized wellness plans.
This kind of care requires time and dedicated attention to the individual patient that is simply not possible in today’s healthcare system. Our practice size is smaller than a traditional practice which means we have more quality time together…not only to treat complex issues, but to focus on prevention and wellness.
As a member of our concierge medicine practice, you’ll receive truly patient-focused and personalized healthcare. Patients have peace of mind knowing that we will be there whenever needed, providing care in a highly personalized way.
NOVAMED Associates is excited that Dr. Priya Mathur has joined the practice in January 2023.
“I chose to join NOVAMED Associates because their care reflects the values I cherish most … incredible kindness, deep compassion, and a profound attention to detail. I’m thrilled to be part of a team that focuses on disease prevention and optimizing health to help patients live their best lives.” - Priya Mathur, M.D.

Here's what NOVAMED members are saying about our practice...
Telemedicine at NOVAMED
We are pleased to offer our patients the easy-to-use telemedicine platform called Doxy.me as a convenient alternative to in-office appointments. Doxy.me is accessed through a simple link that we will send by text or email before our scheduled virtual visit. All you need is a smart phone or computer with a webcam. Although we can handle many issues via telemedicine, please note that symptoms such as chest or abdominal pain may require a physical exam.
Please call our office first so that we may determine if a virtual visit is the best option for you.
Note that due to new regulations, we are limited to offering telemedicine visits only in states where NOVAMED physicians are licensed. This includes Virginia for all three physicians, Maryland and DC for Dr. Mathur, and Florida for Dr. Pontz. Per regulation, information regarding the Florida telemedicine license is posted HERE . Patients who develop a new illness while visiting other states are asked to seek attention with a physician in their local area, and we will assist in coordinating care with that physician as needed.
