Personal Physician and Healthcare Advocate in Fort Myers, FL

Independent physician care for Southwest Florida

Personal Physician and Healthcare Advocate Serving Fort Myers, Florida

Some Fort Myers patients are willing to travel for a physician relationship that offers more time, continuity, and direct communication. My Private Doctor is a Naples-based, independent practice led by Dr. James Faremouth for people who want a trusted medical advocate rather than a series of disconnected visits.

A More Connected Approach to Your Health

Care may span Fort Myers, Estero, Bonita Springs, and Naples, particularly when specialists or testing are located in different health systems. Dr. Faremouth helps members review the available information, identify unanswered questions, and maintain a coherent plan across those settings.

The Personal Healthcare Advocate program is designed for patients who value prevention and proactive planning. Quarterly comprehensive health reviews create regular opportunities to revisit medications, lab trends, screening needs, specialist advice, nutrition, exercise, and changing health goals.
