Event, Location and Tour Medical Management
We offer comprehensive concierge healthcare support for artists, additional talent, managers and other support crew, who often spend quite a bit of time traveling to accommodate hectic tour and event schedules. Our services are convenient and practical for local, national and international events and tours.

Travel Medicine
When planning to travel or tour abroad, Dr. Primas can provide destination-specific pre-travel consultations and physical examinations to review potential risks and specific instructions for travel-related illnesses that may occur. These 1-hour consultations also include immunity screening, travel vaccinations, medications and documentation needed to travel. We are a CDC certified Yellow Fever Vaccination approved site.
Additionally, we provide consultations during and after the trip. In the event that an artist or crew member becomes ill while abroad, we coordinate medical care with our extensive network of top international physicians or assist in arranging for evacuation. Post-travel consultations and treatments are available should medical care be required after returning from the trip.

Medical Escorting Services
Medical escorting services are also available for artists who wish to be accompanied by Dr. Primas while traveling for that additional “peace of mind”.

Examinations and On-Site Assistance
We also provide required insurance cast and crew pre production physical examinations as well as insurance examinations for talent who need to cancel shoots or concerts due to unforeseen illness or injury. In addition, we provide certified ancillary staff including set medics, nurses and physician assistants for those productions that require on site medical assistance. We also provide on site vaccination clinics for influenza, COVID and Yellow Fever.

Script Consultations
Medical and technical script consultations for film, television and theatre are also available from Dr. Primas. We can assist in rewriting existing scripts or polish specific aspects of it, including structure, characterization, dialogue, pacing, theme, and other elements so it sounds professional and precise. We can also be on set to help ensure that the medical details of each aspect of the shoot is medically accurate.

COVID-19
We are a State Certified Moderately Complex Clinical Laboratory and offer 15 minute rapid nasal antigen and antibody immunity testing and rapid 40 minute RT-PCR for COVID-19 for those needing to travel to other destinations where documentation of a negative test is required for entry and to ensure people are safe to work on-set or on-location. We can also offer testing for event cancellations that require COVID-19 testing in order to be covered by insurance.
We also have Certified COVID Compliance Officers available for compliance with on site production regulations.

While Dr. Primas enjoys the professional accolades, it is the praise of his patients that motivates him the most.
