VANCOUVER — Rocket Doctor Practice Group has joined the Altais clinical network, expanding telehealth access for patients in California. The Vancouver-based company announced the partnership on Monday. The move adds Rocket Doctor's primary care physicians and specialists to the network, giving patients more doctors to choose from. Patients will have access to care through both in-person and virtual visits.
"Altais is building a connected network of care across California and beyond, with the goal of making high-quality care more accessible," said Nishant Anand, MD, CEO of Altais. "Welcoming Rocket Doctor's telehealth providers expands that network and gives patients more options for primary and specialty care." The companies said adding specialists is intended to reduce appointment wait times by increasing physician availability. Virtual visits offer an alternative for appropriate specialty care, allowing patients to connect without traveling to an office.
Rocket Doctor's primary care physicians focus on preventive care and managing ongoing health needs. Its specialists offer consultations suitable for telehealth delivery. Together, these services broaden options for patients seeking routine care, chronic condition support, or specialist evaluations. William Cherniak, MD, co-founder and CEO of Rocket Doctor Inc., said joining the network gives its physicians a chance to serve more patients. He said integrating their telehealth capabilities can expand patient choices and make virtual care more practical.
The organizations will also participate together from November 13 to 15 at the In-N-Out Burger NHRA Finals in Pomona, California. Their involvement at the National Hot Rod Association event reflects a shared commitment to community engagement in Southern California. Rocket Doctor Practice Group is an affiliated professional corporation that delivers medical services in North America. The company holds no equity interest in the practice group but maintains management control through a service agreement.
