Jordan Shlain, M.D.
Medical Director
Internal Medicine
Dr. Jordan Shlain founded San Francisco On Call Medical Group in 1997 because he wanted to run a medical practice that puts a priority on the doctor-patient relationship.
During his residency, Dr. Shlain had the opportunity to provide a house call for an elderly patient - an experience that made a lasting impression. He realized he was able to spend the amount of time with a patient necessary to offer the best care in the comfort of the patient's own home. Dr. Shlain found that this unhurried, more comprehensive way of practicing medicine is consistent with the natural instincts of a doctor, namely being concerned first and foremost with the care of each patient.
Dr. Shlain initially launched the on-call practice to serve the maritime industry, by offering house calls to cruise ship and commercial vessels that were only in San Francisco's port for a short time when it was critical
for their crews and passengers to be seen by a doctor immediately before returning to sea. He soon expanded his practice to include the top hotels in San Francisco. The business has continued to grow, and today On Call Medical Group has a team of physicians, offers both house call and office visits, has a second practice in Palm Springs, and a growing list of primary care patients.
Dr. Shlain is also an assistant clinical professor at the U.C.S.F. Medical Center, and a medical economics lecturer at U.C. Berkeley. He is also the Northern California medical director for Lufthansa Airlines, and is
on the board of directors for the San Francisco Medical Society. He received a B.A. from the University of California at Berkeley and an M.D. from Georgetown University Medical School.
