“Your Medical Home in the Virgin Islands” is the official and decidedly appropriate slogan for Red Hook Family Medical Group. With three convenient offices between the two islands of St. Thomas and St. John, you can count on professional care whether you are an island resident or visitor.
Particularly for travelers far away from their regular physicians, nothing is more reassuring than knowing a full service, multi-award-winning association of seasoned medical practitioners is available for walk-in consultations — just in case a problem should arise.
Established in 1992, Red Hook Family Medical Group is frequently voted Best Medical Practice on St. Thomas by readers of the Virgin Islands Daily News. How comforting!
