PartnerMD's third Richmond-area location to open at GreenGate in Henrico

PartnerMD will open its third Richmond-area location at GreenGate in Henrico's Far West End in the spring of 2020, company officials announced this week.

The location will be the company's seventh overall and was prompted by what officials termed "significant individual and corporate customer growth over the past two years."

PartnerMD describes itself as a concierge primary care and executive health practice.

“We’re very excited to offer a new, convenient location for patients in Richmond’s far West End,” PartnerMD CEO Zack Smith said. “Our rapid growth and expansion of physicians and services has pushed the limits of our existing offices at Reynolds Crossing and Midlothian, and we’re thrilled to better serve both the residents and companies in this fast-growing part of our hometown market.”

PartnerMD recently added two new physicians locally: Dr. Elizabeth Bigelow and Dr. Steven Bishop. Bigelow, a family physician, joined in October from the Hunter Holmes McGuire VA Medical Center and will transition to GreenGate upon opening. Bishop, an internist who starts in December from VCU Health, will see patients at Reynolds Crossing and serve as director of wellness at PartnerMD to continue the growth of the company's disease-prevention programs around such holistic health topics as weight loss, diabetes, sleep, and stress.

PartnerMD expanded its wellness offerings this year through a new genetics partnership with VCU Health. Through the partnership, patients have onsite access at PartnerMD offices to the advanced and personalized genetics counseling, as well as genetic testing that uses VCU Health’s CLIA-certified laboratories.
