About Platinum Hospitalists

In 2008, we were four like-minded physicians with particular and common focus on excellent, patient-centered care who formed a cross-coverage team for hospital patients in the Henderson and Las Vegas area. Within a short period of time, our reputation for providing outstanding patient care was noticed by all in the community. This included primary care providers, surgeons, subspecialists and local commercial insurances who in turn, asked us to service their patients when admitted to these hospitals.

Our Story

In 2008, four dedicated physicians, united by a shared commitment to exceptional, patient-centered care, established a cross-coverage team to serve hospital patients in Henderson and Las Vegas. Early on, our reputation for providing outstanding patient care was quickly recognized by the community, including primary care providers, surgeons, specialists, and commercial insurance providers. They entrusted us to manage their patients during hospital stays, leading to rapid growth in the lives we served. To meet the demand, we expanded our team carefully, ensuring that each new physician aligned with our core values and dedication to quality care.

Over the past 12 years, our group has continued to earn the respect of hospital systems and payors. Today, we are proud to be the only locally-founded hospitalist group contracted to provide hospitalist services at five of Southern Nevada’s leading acute care hospitals. Our partnerships extend to all major payors in the region, and we bring a wealth of experience in HMO and managed care. With a focus on innovation, we remain committed to delivering high-quality, safe, efficient, and patient-centered care.

Platinum Hospitalists has now grown to 117 skilled providers, each sharing an unwavering belief: when we put patient care first, everything else naturally aligns. This principle is the foundation of our success and the driving force behind our care.

Our Promise

Platinum Hospitalists is a physician-owned group led by actively practicing hospitalists, ensuring strong physician engagement. Our providers trust that group leaders are fellow physicians who would never ask of them what they wouldn’t do themselves.

Each acute care hospital we serve has a designated physician pod leader who coordinates communication among our team, hospital administration, and payers, keeping all stakeholders aligned on goals, performance, and improvement opportunities, ultimately enhancing patient care.

We prioritize continuity by minimizing hand-offs; each provider manages their patients from admission to discharge. Physicians work at a single hospital daily, allowing them to build familiarity with patients, staff, and resources, supporting efficient and accountable care.

Staying informed on healthcare advancements, we continue to innovate to meet the evolving needs of patients, facilities, and insurance carriers.
