Primary Care Physician

Stockton, CA | Full-Time | Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–5:00 PM

Healthcare / Senior & Geriatric Care

We are seeking a Primary Care Physician to provide comprehensive, relationship-based care to older adults through a value-based PACE model.

Unlike a traditional high-volume primary care environment, physicians in this practice typically see an average of 8 patients per day , allowing more time to understand each patient's medical, functional, and social needs. You will work closely with an interdisciplinary care team to develop and coordinate individualized care plans for a vulnerable senior population.

Position Overview

The Primary Care Physician will provide comprehensive care to Medicare and Medi-Cal participants through a collaborative, interdisciplinary model.

The position includes clinic-based care and home visits but does not require hospital rounds. Physicians work regular weekday hours with limited rotating phone-based call responsibilities.
