Payam Zamani is the founder and chief executive officer of MY DR NOW, one of the nation’s fastest-growing independently owned primary care organizations. What began as a single clinic during his medical residency has grown into Arizona’s largest privately owned primary care group, with more than 75 locations across Arizona and Texas and a team of more than 1,000.
His vision for MY DR NOW was shaped by watching his single mother struggle to find timely care for her family. Dr. Zamani built the organization to fit real life, offering walk-in and scheduled visits, extended hours, telehealth, and in-home house calls under one roof. The practice provides family medicine, pediatrics, women’s health, and chronic disease management, anchored in long-term patient relationships.
Headquartered in Chandler, Arizona, MY DR NOW is on track to become the country’s largest independently owned primary care group under a single brand by 2027. Dr. Zamani is affiliated with Ross University School of Medicine, and his work has been featured in Pulse 2.0, Authority Magazine, citybiz, and Empowered Patient Radio. He shares updates on LinkedIn, with company updates available through MY DR NOW on LinkedIn.
