Physicians Ambulance

OUR MISSION
It is our mission to help and care for those who cannot for themselves.

OUR VISION
It is our intent to be viewed by other private, local, state and national EMS programs as visionary and trend setting in emergency and non-emergency medical services by demonstrating the highest quality of care while utilizing cutting edge technology and innovative service delivery methods.

OUR MANTRA
At Physicians, we invest in our people and our equipment first. It is our number one priority to be as clinically sound and as cutting edge as humanly possible. Our Organization is built on honesty, loyalty and trust- and, along with motivation, these are the foundations of our hiring.

We are confident that we have the tools in place to educate any Paramedic or EMT we bring into our system; but what we cannot teach are the intangibles. That is, those qualities that have already been instilled in an individual.

Customer service and client satisfaction drives us!
