A Local House Call Doctor Serving Philadelphia
Dr. Christine Pluta has practiced medicine in Philadelphia for more than 20 years and has spent
over 15 of them bringing house calls to seniors and home-bound patients across the city. She
knows Philadelphia — its neighborhoods, its hospitals, and its health systems — because she
has cared for its residents in their own homes for the better part of two decades. In 2025,
Philadelphia magazine named her Best of Philly — Best Concierge Doctor, a recognition of
exactly the kind of attentive, personal care that defines Schuylkill Medical Associates.
Whether you live in a private home or apartment, an independent-living community, or an
assisted-living residence, Dr. Pluta would welcome the opportunity to serve as your primary care
physician — without you ever having to leave home. Her house call practice reaches roughly a
25-mile radius of Center City, covering the entire city and extending into the surrounding
suburbs and across the bridge into New Jersey.
Concierge house call care, delivered to your door
As a concierge practice, SMA keeps a deliberately small patient panel so Dr. Pluta can give
each person real time and direct access. That means unhurried visits, a doctor who knows your
history, and care coordinated with your family, specialists, and pharmacy. For Philadelphians
who find it hard — or impossible — to get to a traditional office, it removes the single biggest
barrier to good primary care: the trip itself.
Philadelphia neighborhoods we serve
Dr. Pluta provides house calls throughout the city of Philadelphia, including Center City,
Rittenhouse, Society Hill, Old City, Queen Village, Bella Vista, Fairmount, University City,
Chestnut Hill, Mount Airy, Germantown, Roxborough, Manayunk, East Falls, South Philadelphia,

neighborhood isn’t listed, it’s worth a quick call — coverage often extends to nearby areas.
Common reasons Philadelphia families call
Patients and families reach out when getting to appointments has become a strain, when a
loved one is managing several chronic conditions, when coordinating multiple specialists has
become overwhelming, or simply when they want a primary care physician who has the time to
truly listen. SMA provides full-scope primary care in the home, including chronic disease
management, preventive and wellness visits, medication review, and coordination of care.
