Event, Location and Tour Medical Management

Dr. Ronald Primas provides elite, board-certified medical support for film shoots, TV productions, fashion campaigns, music tours, theatrical performances, and red carpet events across New York City, New Jersey, and Connecticut. His discreet, white-glove care has earned the trust of touring artists, actors, models, executives, and high-profile talent from around the world.

With decades of experience and a reputation for absolute confidentiality, Dr. Primas has supported national and international productions—including Fashion Week, the Met Gala, and high-profile concert tours—without ever compromising the privacy of his clients. Whether you’re producing a major motion picture, hosting an editorial shoot, or managing a Broadway cast, your production deserves more than a medic. Trust a seasoned, Manhattan-based physician who knows how to keep your talent healthy, your timelines intact, and your coverage compliant.

ON-SET & ON-LOCATION PHYSICIAN CARE

Available for productions across:

• Film sets, television shows & commercial shoots

Dr. Primas integrates seamlessly with fast-paced production environments—providing urgent care, ongoing monitoring, and concierge-level medical attention directly on location, with minimal disruption.
