Ciampi Family Practice is a medical clinic in South Portland, Maine. This primary care practice provides personalized medical services through a direct primary care membership plan, offering patients unprecedented access to an experienced family physician. The practice serves the local community with a focus on high-quality, affordable care, including 60-minute annual physicals, 30-minute routine appointments for chronic disease management, and access to inexpensive lab tests and generic medications.
The practice has a tradition of medical excellence dating back to 1959. Originally established by Dr. Louis A. Ciampi, the practice transitioned to his son, Dr. Michael Ciampi, in 1999. Dr. Ciampi, a graduate of Tufts University School of Medicine and a former lieutenant commander in the U.S. Navy, implemented a direct primary care model in 2013. This approach allows the clinic to bypass traditional third-party insurance billing, instead contracting directly with patients to provide a more personalized, continuous care experience. The clinic emphasizes seeing patients as whole people rather than through an assembly-line model, ensuring patients are seen by the same experienced physician.
Located on Lincoln Street, the clinic is situated near Broadway and a short drive from Reynolds School and Greater Portland Christian School.
The practice is recognized for its thorough and well-documented information, reflecting a commitment to transparency and patient communication. Through its unique membership model, Ciampi Family Practice stands as a dedicated provider of accessible, physician-led primary care in South Portland.
