Eric Gerchman, MD

"Dr. Gerchman is a second-generation Family Physician who has practiced in the communities of Western Maine for over 20 years. Over the course of more than two decades, he has grown to love the community and the people who live here. In recent years, Dr. Gerchman has found that the current health care model prevents and, worse, does not even prioritize meaningful relationships with patients. The current model undermines the kind of doctor-patient relationship he learned from his father’s practice and implemented into his own approach to medicine upon moving to Maine. It was this loss that inspired him to take the leap into Direct Primary Care. Living Well Family Medicine and Dr. Gerchman’s mission is to build a direct relationship with patients who are looking to partner with their doctor to receive the best care possible. He looks forward to reconnecting with his current and past patients and creating new partnerships in his new practice."

"Our Direct primary care (DPC) practice model allows us to be there for you when you need us. No matter what time of the day or part of the week, and we will be there in the way that is most convenient for you; whether that is in the office, on the phone, text, or video chat. Providing exceptional care is our passion and being there for you - when needed - is an important part of that. Time, discussion and listening are the hallmark traits of a genuine relationship. Appointments at Living Well Family Medicine are not measured in terms of ‘profit’ or ‘loss’ as is defined by conventional corporate health care systems, but rather by what’s best for the patient including meaningful, positive outcomes and the quality of the doctor/patient relationship. You will not feel hurried. You will have the time to discuss all your health concerns."
