CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- A physician in Charlotte is bringing medical care directly to her patients' homes.

  • OnCall Mobile Medical and Wellness was created in 2012 by Dr. Tracei Ball.
  • The business offers pediatric, adult primary care and addiction services.
  • Dr. Ball also has a license to dispense directly from pharmacies.

Dr. Tracei Ball created "OnCall Mobile Medical and Wellness" in 2012.

She and two other doctors focus on pediatrics, adult primary care, and addiction.

Many of her patients are being treated for opioid addiction.

Ball spent years as a traditional doctor but got frustrated with the number of patients, and the lack of time to meet with them.

She says going directly to patients has given them the comfort of home.

"It helps reduce some of the anxiety, some of the apprehension," said Dr. Ball. "Some people have white coat syndrome."

Dr. Ball says many of her patients receive some sort of reimbursement from insurance.

She also says she has a license to dispense directly from pharmacies, reducing the cost of prescriptions for her patients.
