OUR BEGINNINGS WERE HUMBLE
NP on Wheels is an innovative service created to meet needs of patients who do not want
the inconvenience of waiting rooms, who prefer to have care at their home or office
and who want top quality care in the least amount of time.
The core value of NP on Wheels is that the care of the patient comes FIRST
and that every medical service we provide will be outstanding.
We began our service by developing an efficient software platform with which to
service, care and interact with our patients and have simply provided outstanding care to
patients one person at a time. This beginning has led to our existing staff
being fully booked and this geometric growth has created a need to add
additional staff after only a few months of operation.
