PHILADELPHIA, PA — As healthcare providers nationwide wrestle with physician burnout, patient access issues, and fragmented care, Shamrock Medicine is betting that a smaller, more integrated model can deliver better results. The Philadelphia-headquartered practice is expanding its footprint in New Jersey through its Cherry Hill clinic, offering combined primary and mental healthcare aimed at working adults and young professionals.
Located at 911 Kings Highway S in Cherry Hill, the clinic is one of three operated by Shamrock Medicine, which also maintains offices in Philadelphia and Lower Gwynedd, Pennsylvania. Together, the locations serve patients across Philadelphia, Montgomery, and Camden counties, including communities such as Haddonfield, Moorestown, Marlton, and Ambler.
The practice positions itself as an alternative to high-volume primary care. By limiting patient loads, Shamrock Medicine says it can offer longer visits, direct provider access, and coordinated care that addresses both physical and mental health needs under one roof.
Shamrock Medicine provides core family medicine services such as preventive care, chronic disease management, laboratory testing, and mental health screenings. Its integrated approach also includes treatment for anxiety, depression, and attention deficit disorder, along with specialty services such as testosterone therapy, hair loss treatment, and sexually transmitted disease management. Home visits and telehealth appointments are available, adding flexibility for patients with demanding schedules.
A central feature of the practice is its text-based communication platform, which allows patients to message nurses and providers directly for scheduling, prescription refills, and lab results. The system is designed to reduce delays and administrative friction, a growing pain point in traditional healthcare settings.
Dr. Peter Kelly, the practice’s owner and spokesperson, said the model is built around accessibility and continuity. Primary care physicians serve as the first point of contact, coordinating treatment plans and monitoring patient progress over time rather than episodic visits.
Shamrock Medicine accepts a wide range of insurance plans, including Aetna, Cigna, multiple Blue Cross Blue Shield networks, Medicare, Tricare, Humana, and UMR. Discounted rates are also available for uninsured patients, broadening access in a market where out-of-pocket costs remain a concern.
Patient feedback suggests the approach is resonating. Several patients cited the practice’s calm atmosphere, modern technology, and personalized attention as key differentiators from conventional clinics.
As healthcare costs rise and demand for mental health services continues to grow, Shamrock Medicine’s integrated, boutique-style model reflects a broader shift toward patient-centered care. For South Jersey residents seeking a more connected healthcare experience, the Cherry Hill clinic marks an expansion of that philosophy across state lines.
