Dr. Carlos Jorge is an internationally respected, triple-board-certified physician and the Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer of Companion Health, a human-centered medical practice redefining what real care looks like.
Carlos began his career inside traditional healthcare where ten-minute visits, insurance-driven decisions, and relentless volume demands made it nearly impossible to practice the kind of medicine he knew people deserved. After years of burnout and witnessing the system’s growing disconnect from scientific integrity, he made the courageous decision to create a new model of care.
Today, he is one of the leading voices in functional, regenerative, and longevity medicine. Known for his ability to connect dots that others miss and for helping patients understand the “why” behind their symptoms, Carlos blends deep clinical training with curiosity, advanced diagnostics, and an uncommon commitment to listening.
He has delivered talks and workshops for organizations including KPMG, Nutramax, and Bourne Partners, and previously served as a clinical advisor to the Cleveland HeartLab at the Cleveland Clinic. Carlos is board-certified in Family Medicine, Clinical Lipidology, and Functional and Regenerative Medicine, and was named a Charlotte Ledger Forty Over 40 honoree for his leadership in redefining modern primary care.
Originally from the Dominican Republic, Carlos graduated cum laude from UNPHU and completed his residency at the Northwestern University–affiliated St. Joseph Hospital in Chicago, where he served as Chief Resident.
What sets Carlos apart is simple: he puts people first, dollars second, and integrity at the center of every medical decision.
His mission is to help patients and the healthcare system itself return to what medicine was always meant to be: human, honest, and deeply healing.
A Letter From Dr. Jorge
June 1, 2020
I am excited to announce that our new clinic is now open.
Over the past year, I’ve thought deeply about what medicine means to me and the type of care I want to provide you.
How would it feel to spend more time together exploring your health goals?
Maybe you’d like to have more energy, reduce the number of prescription meds you’re taking, lose weight, or increase your mental clarity?
Or perhaps you’re tired of knowing something is wrong with your body and nobody is listening to you? Each of us has unique health needs, but the current volume-based insurance model supports standardized “sick” quick care versus individualized “well” care.
Our mission at Companion Health is to help you live healthier, more joyful lives. We “deep learn” each of our clients by focusing on your unique health goals, genes, lifestyle, and diet. No two people are the same, and we don’t think your healthcare should be either. We offer longer, more frequent doctor visits, health coaching, and more convenient care options, including tele-medicine.
Companion Health is a direct health care practice and does not accept insurance. You still need health insurance for things like catastrophic illness, specialty care, and prescription medications.
For some of you, this may come as a disappointment. I understand, and I hope you will give me the opportunity to share our vision with you.
We’d be honored to help guide you on a positive, transformative health journey!
All my best,
Carlos Jorge, MD
