EP 293: Executive Medicine: Where Luxury Healthcare Meets Family Treatment

What makes Judy Gaman with Executive Medicine of Texas a good neighbor?

The traditional healthcare model isn’t working for many of us—rushed visits, long waits, and doctors focused more on screens than people have become the norm. But Judy Gaman, CEO of Executive Medicine of Texas, is changing the story.

Born from two physicians’ frustration with the “HMO treadmill,” Judy’s Southlake-based practice serves everyone from Fortune 500 executives to families seeking personalized, attentive care. Concierge medicine isn’t just for celebrities; it’s for busy professionals who value time and know that health is priceless.

Unlike typical doctors who schedule months out, Executive Medicine offers immediate access and a half-day executive physical that screens over 100 health markers, cognitive and physical function. They translate complex medical data into clear visuals and craft tailored plans—whether you want to climb Kilimanjaro or just climb stairs without getting winded.

If you’re ready for healthcare where you’re treated like family, where staff remember your name and goals, and your doctor actually sits down with you over coffee to listen, then Executive Medicine of Texas is here for you.

where local businesses andneighbors come together.
Here's your host, Sophia Yvette.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
Welcome to the Good Neighbor Podcast.
Are you in need of an ExecutiveMedicine of Texas company with
age management?
Well, one may be closer thanyou think.
Today I have the pleasure ofintroducing your good neighbor,
judy Gammon, ceo of ExecutiveMedicine of Texas.
Judy, how are you today?

Speaker 3 (00:32):
I'm great.
Thank you so much for having meon Sophia.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
Yeah, it's a pleasure to have you on and we're so
excited to learn all about youand your business.
Can you start by telling ourlisteners a little bit about
your company?

Speaker 3 (00:43):
Sure, so we're actually celebrating 20 years in
business here at ExecutiveMedicine of Texas.
We're based in Southlake, butour patients come to us from all
over the globe.
We service Fortune 500companies, fortune 100 companies
, but also individuals that arereally seeking an executive
luxury medicine type, conciergepractice or age management.

(01:04):
So we're helping people livelonger every day.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
Amazing.
And so, judy, how did youoriginally get into this
business?

Speaker 3 (01:13):
Well, it's kind of interesting because our founders
, dr Walter Gammon and MarkAnderson they actually were on
the what I like to call the HMOtreadmill and nobody was winning
.
The doctors weren't winning.
The doctors weren't winning,the patients weren't winning.
It was, it was literally a ratrace and maybe the insurance
companies were winning, but theyliterally sat down with a
napkin and said if we wanted todo medicine the way we thought

(01:37):
we were going to be able to domedicine when we went to medical
school, when we dreamed ofbeing doctors, what would that
look like?
And they just made a list.
You know, first of all, theytreat every patient like family.
They would spend as much timeas needed to get to the bottom
of what the patient's issue was.
They wouldn't fight withinsurance companies.
They would literally say whatdoes this patient need, what can

(01:59):
I provide for them and howquickly can I get it done for
them?
And that was the birth ofexecutive medicine.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
Wow, Now what is the most common myth or
misconception you come across inyour industry?

Speaker 3 (02:13):
Well, I think a lot of people think concierge
medicine and they say, oh,that's for the rich and famous.
And that's not necessarily true.
Now, while we see celebritiesand we see all kinds of high net
worth individuals, we also seea lot of families.
We've put in a family conciergebecause we understand that busy
individuals really value theirtime.

(02:34):
Time is money and especiallylike entrepreneurs, where a lot
of times they're working intheir business and on their
business at the same time.
And when they call thetraditional doctor's office and
say, hey, I got a problem I needto be seen, and they say, okay,
how about next Tuesday at 10o'clock?
Well, that doesn't work for me.
Well, that's going to be sixmonths, and so really, for that
we're solving this problem ofnot just access but the ability

(02:59):
to be able to sit down,literally sit down with your
doctor.
Our executive exam roomsactually have two chairs on the
table as well as an exam table,because most of the conversation
happens sitting across fromthat patient, maybe sipping on a
little bit of coffee or tea orjust having a cold drink, and

(03:19):
really getting to the bottom ofyou.
Know why are you here?
What are your health concerns?
What are your goals.
You know what do you want toaccomplish and how can our team
really rally around you and helpyou do that.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
Now we know marketing is the heart of every business.
So, Judy, how do you currentlymarket your business?
And typically, let's get moreinto those demographics of your
typical clients.

Speaker 3 (03:48):
Yeah for sure.
So for us we've been veryfortunate and part of this is
our longevity here in thecommunity and our relationship
with our corporate clients thatour marketing really a lot of
what we do is if we treat ourpatients right and we're giving
them the service that theyreally want, they do the
marketing for us.
So much of our businessactually comes from referral

(04:12):
sources.
We have this wonderfulgentleman who sent us probably
upwards of 50 different peopleand some of them literally call
and say I sat next to this guyon a flight to Dubai and he said
I have to call you.
Or I was on the golf course andI was talking to this other

(04:32):
gentleman.
Or hey, I was at the spa andthis lady happened to mention
she comes there.
And it's just amazing that wehave fans you know that really
not just appreciate the servicethat we have, but the people
there within the company.
If you, if you look at ourreviews and we have a lot of

(04:53):
reviews, we have five-starrating but you look at the
reviews, they don't just mentionthe doctors.
They're like I love the staff,oh my gosh, that nurse is the
best nurse.
Or or I love the receptionist,which, by the way we call the
director of first impressions.
So they really have have got toexperience a place that they
can come and people really allget to know them.

(05:16):
One patient calls it the cheersbar without alcohol.
Everybody knows your name, theyknow your kids, they know your
goals and we're all just here tohelp you achieve that.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
Wow, that's so amazing.
And, judy, it sounds like youhave a wealth of knowledge about
your industry.
Have you ever thought of havingyour own podcast?

Speaker 3 (05:34):
Actually, it sounds like you have a wealth of
knowledge about your industry.
Have you ever thought of havingyour own podcast?
Actually, it's funny.
You mentioned that we had anationally syndicated radio show
for years and we were on SiriusXM, and we do have a podcast
called Stay Young America.
So on Stay Young America, we'vecovered a variety of topics
over the years and it's amazingto me that the ability to take

(05:55):
information today's age and getthat out to people who may never
know you, may never hear you.
We've covered topics likediabetes and heart disease.
We've also covered topics likethe loneliness epidemic.
We've had leading scientists onour show, we've had celebrities
bestselling authors, and itreally has been a growing tool

(06:18):
for us as well.
I host it with two of ourfounders, both medical doctors,
and really we've learned so muchfrom our guests and it's just
helped us not just bring theinformation to our patients but,
like I said, bring it acrossthe globe and to educate the
masses.

Speaker 2 (06:38):
Wow, Well, I definitely can relate with you
there.
Now let's go ahead and get intoone thing you would like our
listeners to take away fromexecutive medicine of Texas
today.

Speaker 3 (06:53):
Yeah, I think that the biggest thing is the
misconception that when you goto the doctor, that if you
happen to walk in the office andeven if they draw blood, the
assumption is I saw the doctor,he didn't say anything, I'm fine
, and what we have found isthat's so much of a small part
of health.

(07:13):
A lot of times when you go tothe doctor, maybe they're doing
a blood count or chemistry panel.
When you come in for somethinglike an executive physical,
you're here with us for a halfof the day and we're doing over
100 different lab values.
We're checking your cognition,we're looking at your posture,
we're looking at your cognitiveabilities and testing that.
We're really getting down toall of these things, the whole

(07:38):
picture of what does your healthreally look like, you know?
And how do we show you in blackand white and in graphs and
everything else, what yourhealth status is?
Here's where you are and howcan we help you get better.
And what are the goals?
You know, sometimes the goal isI want to be able to go climb

(07:58):
Kilimanjaro.
Sometimes the goal is I justwant to walk up the stairs at
work and not be out of breath.
Or you know what?
I just lost my mojo or mylibido is down.
You know, it really depends onwhat that particular patient,
what they want, what their needsare, and then being able to
also say, okay, here's where youare and here's where we can get

(08:22):
you together as we partner withyou and we team up with you.
And that's really what thispractice is all about.
It's about that team approach,with the patient themselves
being at the center of that.
You have all these advocates.
They're really driving yourpersonal success in your health.
