The Founding of Private Physicians

In 2006, Dr. Jordan founded Private Physicians, introducing Martin County to its first concierge medical practice. Her decision was guided by a desire to practice medicine in a setting that preserved the time, independence, and continuity necessary to develop meaningful relationships with patients.

Rather than allowing the demands of a conventional practice model to dictate the patient experience, she established an independent, membership-based practice designed around individualized attention, direct physician access, and long-term continuity of care.

Today, Private Physicians continues to reflect that founding vision. Dr. Jordan remains personally involved in the care of her patients, bringing together decades of clinical experience with an understanding of the importance of trust, communication, and professional accountability.
