First Health Care Provider of Its Kind in Oregon, ZoomCare Puts the Patient First and Caters to Modern Life

PORTLAND, Ore., Jan. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- ZoomCare today announces the grand opening of a second location in Portland's Pearl District. ZoomCare offers board-certified physicians who cater to patients' everyday health care needs, including preventive care, primary care and urgent care. ZoomCare's state-of-the- art neighborhood clinics include an on-site laboratory and dispensing pharmacy, and are open seven days a week, 362 days a year. ZoomCare's first clinic is located in Bridgeport Village.

The first health care provider of its kind in Oregon, ZoomCare is the creator of Health Care on Demand, a progressive health care model that has attracted top physicians and thousands of loyal patients. Health Care on Demand means that patients have access to online scheduling for guaranteed same-day and on-time visits, paperless check-in, published simple prices, collaborative care, secure patient access to their medical chart online, and personal follow-up. ZoomCare accepts nearly all insurance plans and offers point-of-service discounts for self-pay patients.

"According to the latest research from the Employment Benefit Research Institution, six in 10 Americans say they are dissatisfied with their health care.* For people tired of waiting, worrying about the expense, and wondering about their results, we invite them to try ZoomCare and join us in our mission to heal American health care," said ZoomCare co-founder Albert DiPiero, MD.

People who have tried ZoomCare are pleasantly surprised and have made ZoomCare their health provider of choice. Patient testimonials include:

"Not only am I pleased with the high-quality clinical care that I received, but I am astounded with the personal, caring way ZoomCare delivered it. The follow-up calls and genuine concern about how I was feeling left my wife and I shaking our heads in amazement. Amid all the sleek coolness that is ZoomCare (online appointment scheduling, prescriptions filled and ready for me at check-out), it's the delivery of personal, compassionate care that has made me a ZoomCare patient for life," said Mitch Yoder of Portland, Oregon.

"I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for the excellent care and service we received. When we come to ZoomCare we feel like we are listened to and are able to have our questions answered. The visit is organized, efficient and professional. We feel blessed to have a place like ZoomCare to go to. Thank you," said Jeffrey Allen of Portland, Oregon.

Located in the heart of Portland's Pearl District, ZoomCare's new state-of-the-art facility is located at 202 NW 13th Avenue and NW Davis Street in the historic Wieden & Kennedy Building, just one block north from the Whole Foods Parking Garage.

Drs. Jim Little and Sheryl Andress are the lead family physicians at the Pearl District clinic.

"After seven years in private practice, it became clear that there must be a better way and that way is ZoomCare," said Jim Little, MD.

Dr. Little has been a board-certified family physician since 2001 and is a member of the board of directors for the Oregon Academy of Family Physicians. Little graduated from the University of Colorado Medical School and completed his family medicine residency at the Oregon Health Science University (OHSU) in Portland, Oregon.

Dr. Sheryl Andress is a board-certified family physician who has been in private practice and at Kaiser in northern California since 1999. Andress graduated from Loma Linda University School of Medicine and trained at Arrowhead Regional Medical Center in San Bernardino, California.
