Dr. McNamara has given me his Cell Phone No. which is highly unusual for a doctor. He always calls me back promptly. I am highly thankful to him.

My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...
My goal as your private doctor is to partner with you and to create a personalized healthcare plan to effectively treat your current health problems and to prevent new ones. I understand and celebrate that internal medicine patients have specific medical needs and desire a unique path to better health. I will work with you each step of the way to assist you with making informed decisions toward achieving your goals – whether it is running your first marathon, improving your nutrition or reducing your use of medication.
With nearly 25 years of practicing medicine in the community, I have relationships with many specialists to help with you and your unique needs. I may be an internal medicine doctor, but I also have interests in cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hypertension and preventive medicine. I have gone from a physician that was trained to cure your illness and tackle your diseases to one who recognizes that true health comes from preventing disease from developing.

Dr. Thomas McNamara is a very fine doctor and friend. I have been his patient for decades and could not be happier. I never expected to live this long and I owe my life to following his helpful advice.
I am 85 years old, and wish him a long healthy life as well!!

Elma and I have been with Dr. McNamara for a very long time. Luckily, we are healthy (we jokingly say to Dr. McNamara that we are his easiest patients) but what we like the most is how practical and logical he is and how he would love nothing more than to keep us off any medications.
Elma and I are avid travelers and we travel to many exotic places. So, multiple times we asked Dr.… See more

At my first meeting with Dr. McNamara I was hoping he could do a miracle. I had chest pains for 20 years with three different surgeries that did nothing to alleviate any pain. So I went to ask him for anything that could help--maybe even some happy pills.
However, after checking me out, he told me that there was nothing wrong with me and that I should deal with the pain. I thought I was… See more

A decade ago I saw Dr M for my annual physical. He had with him a Georgetown medical student, who was learning how to give physicals. Tom asked if the student could stay and learn, and I said great.
As Tom was poking and prodding, he said, you have something on your throat, it may be something serious, it may something trivial, but in any case it needs to be checked out by a… See more
