Concierge Primary Care Near Hyde Park, Tampa

Hyde Park is one of Tampa’s oldest neighborhoods. It was named in 1886 by O.H. Platt after his hometown of Hyde Park, Illinois, and its historic district is still lined with wood-frame bungalows and revival-style homes from the 1880s through the early 1930s. The neighborhood sits just west of the Hillsborough River across from downtown, with Bayshore Boulevard and Hillsborough Bay along its southern edge and Hyde Park Village, the walkable shopping and dining district around the Village Circle fountain, near its center.

The AnswersMD flagship office, Bayshore Concierge Medicine, is close by at 2330 W Horatio St, Tampa, FL 33609. That’s about 0.7 mile by road from Hyde Park Village. For most Hyde Park residents, the doctor’s office is a short drive away, not a trip across town.

What concierge care looks like on a Hyde Park schedule

People in Hyde Park live in all sorts of ways. Some walk to work downtown, some commute out to Westshore, some work from a home office in a 1920s bungalow, and some are raising kids on streets they grew up on themselves. What most of them have in common is a schedule that doesn’t leave much room for a 45-minute wait in a lobby for a 10-minute visit.

AnswersMD is built around the opposite approach:

• An intentionally small patient panel. Each physician cares for fewer patients, so there’s time to know you and your history.
• Longer appointments. Visits are scheduled with room for real questions, not just the one complaint that fits the slot.
• Direct cell access to your physician. If something comes up on a Saturday or after a long day, you can reach your own doctor instead of an answering service.
• Specialist coordination. If you need a cardiologist, a dermatologist, or an orthopedist, your physician helps arrange the referral and stays involved.

Your Tampa physicians

The Tampa office is home to Douglas Shapiro, DO, a board-certified family physician and founder of AnswersMD, and Dr. W. Andrew “Drew” Meriwether, MD, FAAP, DABIM, who is board-certified in both pediatrics and internal medicine. Dr. Shapiro brought together a team of accomplished physicians who share his philosophy: primary care should be personal, unhurried, and focused on keeping you well, not only treating you once you’re sick.

Prevention and longevity, close to home

A lot of Hyde Park life happens outdoors: walking the neighborhood’s tree-lined avenues, running or biking on Bayshore’s 4.5-mile waterfront sidewalk, or heading into the Village for dinner. A primary care relationship that looks ahead can help you keep doing those things for a long time. AnswersMD’s focus includes:

• Executive physicals: a thorough, unhurried annual evaluation, scheduled around your calendar.
• Advanced early-detection testing: screening that goes beyond the basics, chosen with your physician based on your history and goals.
• Ongoing prevention planning: a plan that’s revisited over time instead of filed away after one visit.

When it’s hard to get to the office

Even a short drive can be too much on a bad day. House calls are available on a case-by-case basis.
