Our Jenkintown PA family practice has been independently owned and managed since we opened in 1985, allowing us to deliver the highest quality care to each of our patients. We are NOT a hospital-owned medical practice – we stand out among other Abington area physicians for our personal touch. As a family practice, our team is trained to manage all aspects of your family’s primary care needs, from pediatric to geriatric. Here are just some of the many benefits our patients receive:
- 24/7 access to a doctor. Our live-operator answering service can reach the doctor on call at any time for an emergency – including nights, weekends, and holidays. The person who calls you back is a member of our staff, not a stranger who does not know who you are. Unless you are truly experiencing a life-threatening emergency CALL US FIRST, rather than go to the ER or Urgent Care, even during off hours. As your medical home, we know you best.
- Complete coordination of your care, including wellness and preventative care, specialist consultations, emergency care, and mental health and addiction issues.
- We use technology wherever it will benefit our patients. We pay attention to YOU, not to a laptop, during your visit.
- The use of established treatment plans and practices that are evidence based.
- Careful and comprehensive records related to the care of each patient, including your medication, care from specialists and other doctors, medical history, test results, and hospital and emergency room care.
- We have on-site dieticians to help educate our patients with conditions such as diabetes, food sensitivities, high cholesterol, and weight management. Other Abington based physicians may need to refer you elsewhere for these services.
- A commitment to communication, access to our staff, and customer service.
Our family practice has been around for 32 years, and here in Jenkintown, PA for more than 25 years, allowing us the privilege of treating whole families multi-generationally. Many of our staff members, from medical staff to transcriptionists to in-house billing, have been with us for decades, allowing us to provide continuity of care. Our staff knows our patients; connected patient relationships are so important to us! If you are looking for the best Abington area medical care, Marc Kress, M.D. & Associates will be there to provide personal medical care for you and your whole family.
