Membership-based primary care in Bergen County, New Jersey
A doctor with the time to catch things early.
Most primary care is built around fifteen-minute visits and whatever went wrong this month. This practice is built around a longer horizon: knowing your history, watching your numbers, and acting before a problem becomes a diagnosis.
Luke E. Eyerman, MD — board certified in family medicine by the American Board of Family Medicine since 2004, with more than twenty years in practice.
Care that stays with you
Modern healthcare is fragmented by design. You see one physician for a physical, another at urgent care, a third at the hospital, and none of them are holding the whole picture. Test results arrive without context. Referrals turn into phone trees. The work of assembling your own care falls to you, usually at the moment you are least equipped to do it.
This practice takes a different shape. A limited patient panel means appointments that start on time and run as long as they need to. It means direct access when something is wrong, and a physician who reads your labs against your own history rather than a population average.
It also means advocacy. When specialist care or a hospital stay is necessary, you are not handed a list of names — the coordination is handled, the specialists are spoken with directly, and someone who knows your case is paying attention throughout.

Staying ahead of chronic disease
The conditions that shorten most lives develop quietly over years, and nearly all of them are easier to influence early. Screening and monitoring are the core of the work here.
Cardiovascular disease
Risk assessment, blood pressure and lipid management, and monitoring that tracks change over time rather than single readings.
Cancer screening
Age- and risk-appropriate screening kept on schedule, with results reviewed together and follow-up arranged promptly.
Hypertension
Ongoing measurement and adjustment, including attention to the medications and habits that move the number.
Diabetes and metabolic health
Early identification of insulin resistance, and management that treats diet, activity and medication as one plan.
Cholesterol and lipids
Full lipid assessment with treatment matched to your actual cardiovascular risk, not a single threshold.
Stroke and vascular risk
Evaluation of the contributing factors — rhythm, pressure, circulation — and management of each.
Screening reduces risk and finds disease earlier; it cannot guarantee prevention. What testing is appropriate depends on your age, history and family background, and is decided together.
How it works
Four stages, beginning with a genuinely thorough look at where you are now.
-
Onboarding
A long first appointment: full medical and family history, physical examination, and comprehensive baseline bloodwork.
-
Planning
We go through every result together, agree on what matters most to you, and build a written plan around it.
-
Implementation
The plan goes into practice with regular contact — adjustments, questions answered, and problems handled as they arise.
-
Review
Repeat testing at intervals shows what is working. The plan changes as your results and circumstances change.
What membership includes
A smaller panel of patients is what makes the rest of this possible.
- Same or next-day appointments when you need one
- Direct access to your physician by phone and message
- Appointments that are not cut short
- Scheduled consultations through the year, not only when you are unwell
- Comprehensive history and lifestyle evaluation at intake
- Advanced bloodwork analysis with follow-up testing
- Coordination of specialist referrals
- Advocacy and continuity during a hospital stay
- Guidance through recovery and post-hospital care
- Prescription management and renewals handled directly
- Home visits where circumstances call for them
Membership covers the care described above. It is not health insurance and does not replace it — you should keep coverage for hospital care, specialists, imaging and prescriptions. Ask about fees and what falls outside membership during your first conversation.

Common questions
What is concierge primary care?
A membership model. Instead of billing volume, the practice charges a periodic fee and keeps the patient panel small. That funds longer appointments, direct access to your physician, and time spent on prevention rather than only on acute problems.
How is this different from a traditional practice?
Chiefly time and access. A conventional panel can run to two thousand patients or more, which forces short visits and long waits. A smaller panel makes same-day availability realistic and lets your physician actually track your numbers between visits.
Do I still need health insurance?
Yes. Membership pays for the primary care relationship, not for hospital admissions, surgery, specialist visits, imaging or medications. Keep your coverage in place for all of that.
Which office would I be seen at?
Dr. Eyerman sees patients at three locations in Bergen County — Fairview, Fair Lawn and Westwood. Most patients settle on whichever is closest to home or work, and the schedule is arranged around that. Call (201) 630-0810 and the office will sort out which location and day suit you.
What happens at the first appointment?
A full history, a physical examination, and baseline laboratory work. It runs considerably longer than a standard physical, because everything afterward depends on getting this part right.
How often will I see my physician?
As often as your health requires, plus scheduled reviews through the year. The scheduled visits are the ones that catch drift in your labs before you feel anything.
What if I need a specialist or end up in the hospital?
Referrals are arranged and the specialist is briefed directly. If you are admitted, your physician stays involved, follows the case, and helps you understand the decisions being made.
How do I join?
Call the practice at (201) 630-0810 for an initial conversation. It covers your health history and what you are looking for, and there is no obligation to enroll.
Getting started
The first step is a phone call. Bring your questions — this conversation is as much about whether the practice suits you as anything else.

Hours
Dr. Eyerman divides the week between the three offices, so the day he is in Fairview is not the day he is in Westwood.
