Meet Dr. Jordan Shlain
Dr. Jordan Shlain is the Founder & Chairman of Private Medical
A Physician with a Vision
In 2002, Dr. Jordan Shlain founded Private Medical with a simple but radical belief: the foundation of medicine is trust. Everything else — from science to technology — should serve the doctor–patient relationship.
For more than two decades, he has worked to create a medical practice that is proactive, personalized, physician-led, and free from the conflicts of interest that define much of modern healthcare.
“The essence of medicine is a trusted relationship — everything else flows from that.”
Building a Different Kind of Medical Practice
Dr. Shlain envisioned a model where physicians could take the time to know their patients deeply and advocate for them fully. At Private Medical, every physician cares for around 100 members — ensuring true availability and continuity.
Over 20 years, the practice has cultivated a network of more than 4,000 leading experts in every specialty around the world, giving members priority access to world-class care.
Private Medical has become synonymous with long-term prevention, early detection of hidden risks, and support for families across generations.
Extending the Vision
Jordan’s vision for health has always reached beyond the clinic. He founded Real Food, a program dedicated to making nutrition a cornerstone of preventive health, and DOC Napa, a pioneering gathering focused on reimagining healthcare innovation. Both initiatives reflect his conviction that medicine must integrate lifestyle, prevention, and systems-level change to truly improve lives.
His influence extends further still: he has advised policymakers, healthcare organizations, and startups on designing ethical, human-centered systems. A frequent keynote speaker — from TED to leading medical conferences — he has written extensively about the future of medicine, where science, technology, and humanity remain in balance. His essays and commentary have appeared in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, and other outlets, often challenging conventional thinking while advocating for a healthcare system rooted in trust and prevention.
