WE ARE A PRIVATELY OWNED PRACTICE.

Our Jenkintown PA family practice has been independently owned and managed since we opened in 1985, allowing us to deliver the highest quality care to each of our patients. We are NOT a hospital-owned medical practice – we stand out among other Abington area physicians for our personal touch. As a family practice, our team is trained to manage all aspects of your family’s primary care needs, from pediatric to geriatric. Here are just some of the many benefits our patients receive:

  • 24/7 access to a doctor. Our live-operator answering service can reach the doctor on call at any time for an emergency – including nights, weekends, and holidays. The person who calls you back is a member of our staff, not a stranger who does not know who you are. Unless you are truly experiencing a life-threatening emergency CALL US FIRST, rather than go to the ER or Urgent Care, even during off hours. As your medical home, we know you best.
  • Complete coordination of your care, including wellness and preventative care, specialist consultations, emergency care, and mental health and addiction issues.
  • We use technology wherever it will benefit our patients. We pay attention to YOU, not to a laptop, during your visit.
  • The use of established treatment plans and practices that are evidence based.
  • Careful and comprehensive records related to the care of each patient, including your medication, care from specialists and other doctors, medical history, test results, and hospital and emergency room care.
  • We have on-site dieticians to help educate our patients with conditions such as diabetes, food sensitivities, high cholesterol, and weight management. Other Abington based physicians may need to refer you elsewhere for these services.
  • A commitment to communication, access to our staff, and customer service.

Our family practice has been around for 32 years, and here in Jenkintown, PA for more than 25 years, allowing us the privilege of treating whole families multi-generationally. Many of our staff members, from medical staff to transcriptionists to in-house billing, have been with us for decades, allowing us to provide continuity of care. Our staff knows our patients; connected patient relationships are so important to us! If you are looking for the best Abington area medical care, Marc Kress, M.D. & Associates will be there to provide personal medical care for you and your whole family.

PATIENT TESTIMONIALS

  • I appreciate the kind folks at your office, especially Dr. Wetzel. I want to commend her for her excellent “bedside manner”. She gives 100% and goes the extra mile. I’ve never met a doctor like her before. I have met and used kind or nice doctors, but she’s extra special; really awesome!

    — Anna Marie L.
  • A letter from a deceased patient’s grown children: “Dr. Kress, you were not only my father’s physician for the last seventeen years, your were our most trusted medical advisor and supporter. Dad Looked to you for reassurance, mostly with his kind heart, strong sense of pride and, yes, sometimes stubbornness… you never let him or us down with both of our parents’ numerous health challenges. Each time we reached out to you for advice or just plain old reassurance, you never waivered — always making us feel satisfied with your professional and honest opinions.”

    — Bernadette, David & James
  • I have been going to your practice for my healthcare needs for almost two years and just wanted to take a minute to let you know how wonderful your office and all of the staff are. There have been times when I called and needed to be seen the same day and the schedulers were always able to accommodate me. The front desk staff is always very friendly and helpful with everything. Thank you for making going to the doctors a pleasant experience for my husband and me. We drive over an hour to have the privilege of receiving your care and will gladly continue to do so. If we ever get the opportunity to provide your office with a referral, we will do that as well.

  • A goodbye letter from a patient who moved too far away to make his customary 1 hour commute to us: “I consider my family and myself very lucky to have been your patients all these years. When my parents were on their last legs in May of 2001, it would never have occurred to me to have them go anywhere other then your practice. I’ve been lucky enough for have pretty good health all these years and during my occasional visit to have enough time to talk with you about anything and everything. Somehow you always found the time. So, I don’t imagine we’ll be running into you too often from here on. I just wanted you to know how grateful Margie and I have been to have had such a great doctor.”

    — Mike B.
  • I can’t thank you enough for always going above and beyond the call of duty when it has come to my healthcare. You are the one physician who has fully understood the value of listening to his patients in a way that allows for a comforting and professional atmosphere. I also must personally give you credit for always believing that no case is every the same as the next, and you are willing to search high and low in order to help your patients heal. You are phenomenal! With Great Thanks.

    — Shannon R.
  • Here’s to a great staff of compassionate professionals: efficient, kind, knowledgeable – the way all doctors’ staffs should be but often are not. You guys are the best!

    — Rosalie
  • I have been most pleased with the response of you and your staff to my many needs regarding scripts, reports, appointments, etc. Thank you very much for your efficiency and professionalism. I do not take any of this for granted.
