Our Story: A More Personal Approach to Medicine

Our story starts with you—and with the simple, powerful belief that the relationship between you and your physician should be at the heart of exceptional medical care.

It’s a Vision With Deep Roots.

When Dr. Ian Kroes founded Peninsula Doctor, a concierge medical practice in Silicon Valley, he was inspired by the tireless work of his father, Dr. John Kroes. Renowned in his community as a deeply kind and loving physician, Dr. John Kroes understood each person in his care to be far more than a patient with a set of symptoms to be cured. He envisioned his practice as a community of real people and real families with stories that deserved to be heard, and with complex and demanding lives that deserved respect.

When his patients called, he answered, and when they fell sick he made time for them. He traveled to their homes when he was needed and was with them through births and through deaths. He was with them as much in celebration as in illness. It was a powerful form of practice, rooted in the community relationships of the Old World and dedicated to a deeply personal vision of healthcare—one that is too often lost in the medical landscape of today.

Medicine has changed dramatically over the last decade. As patient rosters have grown and healthcare has become increasingly complex, the meaningful relationship between physician and patient has too often been lost.

We’re here to change that. At Peninsula Doctor, we’re dedicated to building deeper, more lasting relationships with our patients. We combine our patient-first values with the best of personalized diagnostics and preventive care to treat the person as a whole and help our patients achieve their fullest, healthiest lives.

To make that possible, we’ve committed ourselves to truly getting to know you—not only your health and medical history, but who you are, how you live, and what matters to you. Because we believe the best medical care begins with a meaningful relationship between a physician and a patient, built on trust, understanding, and connection over time.

That’s our promise.
