Humble Beginnings
Dr. Greenblatt began his career in the summer of 1977 after graduating from the College of Osteopathic Medicine and Surgery in Des Moines, Iowa. He took an internship in Seattle, WA and soon thereafter set up a solo practice in Issaquah, Washington.
For 23 years, Dr. Larry worked tirelessly under the insurance model and saw thousands of patients. It wasn’t long before he neared burnout. In 2003, Dr. Greenblatt moved his practice to Bellevue, WA and converted his fee-for-service style of medicine into a retainer fee-based practice. As one of the early adopters of the “direct patient care / concierge model,” Dr. Larry was finally allowed to provide individualized, longitudinal care to a much smaller number of patients.
“I’m really happy with how this practice has grown and evolved,” exclaimed Dr. Larry. “I will never be satisifed until everyone has heard my message and is helping themselves live longer, feel better and live healthier.”
