The Palo Alto Medical Foundation (PAMF) clinician directory provides information on the Internet about our medical staff. This is a great resource for finding available physicians in the San Francisco/Bay area. We update the directory regularly and make every effort to provide accurate information. It is possible, however, that recent changes are not yet reflected in the directory.
- Once a month we update information about a physician's availability to new patients for all PAMF primary care physicians (PCPs).
- This information applies to PCPs and not to specialists because many insurance plans require that patients select a PCP.
- A PCP will close his or her practice to new patients when that practice becomes full, and will reopen the practice when spaces become available.
- Some PCPs are open only to certain types of new patients, such as newborns or siblings of existing patients.
- This information, if applicable, is included in the directory.
