About
Excel Health Primary Care sits inside Doctors Center II at St. Joseph's Hospital in Atlanta, a location that gives Dr. James O'Keefe direct access to Emory medical records and a broad network of specialty care options. Dr. O'Keefe founded the practice in 2022 after nearly a decade of concierge-style care at UCLA and Emory University Executive Health. He built Excel Health to give patients the time and attention that a smaller panel makes possible.
The practice runs as a direct primary care hybrid, bundling all physician services into the membership fee with no co-pays or deductible costs. Visits run twice as long as standard primary care appointments. Dr. O'Keefe grounds every care plan in evidence-based internal medicine, steering clear of trends that lead to overdiagnosis or overtreatment. The annual comprehensive visit covers body composition analysis, EKG, customized lab work, cardiovascular screening, and arrangements for cancer screening and genetic testing. Members reach Dr. O'Keefe by cell phone and secure text for urgent after-hours questions. Excel Health also holds telemedicine licenses in Georgia and Florida, serving patients well beyond Atlanta.
