Medical Director Services was founded in 2016 when SNFs were shifting a focus on value while treating residents with a higher level of acuity. MDS PC emphasizes quality and customer service first. Another crucial focus is treating in place when possible and reducing unnecessary hospitalizations. We provide medical services in SNF settings with experience in treating residents on a vent, and we coordinate with surrounding hospitals to ensure continuity of care.

We focus on reducing the number of medications and managing narcotics and psych meds. If certain medications are deemed appropriate, we ensure documentation so facilities are not cited.
