Providing a dedicated doctor-patient relationship that focuses on compassionate holistic care begins with sincere listening. We anticipate welcoming you as a member of our practice and being your home for medical care for many years to come.

As a valued patient, you will receive a complete annual physical with EKG as needed, plus a review of your family history and risk for chronic diseases such as heart disease, hypertension, and diabetes. Our providers use this information to design a proactive healthcare plan that is tailored to meet your individual needs and goals.
Our providers are readily available to meet all your general healthcare needs – from treatment for colds, flu, and other illnesses to minor medical procedures and managing a patient's chronic disease. Plus, you will always have access to Dr. Bunch-selected specialists when needed.
Not unlike the country doctor of days gone by, our office is located in Ocean County near several Beachwood/Bayville/Toms River neighborhoods with all the resources of a modern medical facility with an unsurpassed level of warmth, comfort, and privacy. Our providers are also equipped to handle minor injuries, such as cuts and abrasions so that patients can often bypass emergency room visits.
To be very clear, for Concierge Medicine membership our providers do NOT bill commercial health insurance or Medicare for payment of office visit services – instead, we work directly for you. However, this has no impact on your ability to use your commercial PPO, Medicare, or Medicare Advantage PPO plan insurance for any medically related service or provider outside of our office. Specifically, all lab orders, imaging orders, medications, and referrals made by our providers to other physicians or service providers contracted with your insurance can still be covered, provided they accept your health insurance. All tests, services, and referrals ordered by our providers will be covered by insurance, Medicaid, and Medicare.
