Independent Emergency Physicians

Improving health and healthcare.

Independent Emergency Physicians (IEP) was formed more than two decades ago on the belief that happy, satisfied providers make for happy, satisfied patients.

“We are the largest local physician-owned provider of acute care medicine in metro Detroit,” says David Hall, MD, FACEP and President & CEO of IEP. “Our core purpose is to take care of the patient by taking care of the provider.”

IEP’s success is a direct result of their culture of ownership. Named one of Modern Healthcare’s Top 5 Best Places to Work, IEP providers touch more than 400,000 patient lives annually at Ascension, Henry Ford, and Trinity Health hospitals, and have an amazing 97% physician retention.

“We know a visit to the hospital can be scary and confusing for patients,” says Hall. “Our providers work as one expert care team of Emergency, Observation & Hospital Medicine providers, so patients experience seamless, coordinated care.”

And with IEP’s eight Urgent Care clinics in Bloomfield Hills, Grosse Pointe, Clinton Township, Brighton, Jackson, Southfield, Novi, and Ferndale, IEP providers now see patients outside of the hospital setting.

IEP’s local roots and physician ownership means that their business is improving the health of their community. “We’ve been privileged to serve our community for 26 years by living by our values and thinking big with our vision,” says Hall. “We are driven to make an even bigger impact on the future of healthcare by providing clinical and operational leadership to our hospital partners and high-quality compassionate care to our patients.”
