About

At Private Physicians Medical Associates, four physicians deliver concierge internal medicine from their Newport Beach office. Dr. L. Richard Van Meter and Dr. James Weiss co-founded PPMA in 2003 as the first concierge practice in Orange County. Dr. William Davis and Dr. Kathryn Cardoza have since joined the team. Together, they guide their practice under a simple conviction: medicine the way it should be.

PPMA places nutrition and wellness at the center of patient care. The practice runs a one-on-one nutrition program with a registered dietitian, monthly wellness workshops, and the Nourish MD podcast. Physicians offer same-day and next-day appointments, telemedicine, and house calls through PPMA at Home. The team also provides remote patient monitoring, advanced care planning, memory screening, genetic laboratory testing, and body composition analysis. Patients reach their physician directly by phone, text, or email around the clock.
