Jeffrey M. Bloom, MD is a board-certified internist in San Luis Obispo, California, offering a relaxed, private, and highly personalized internal medicine practice on the Central Coast. Dr. Bloom trained at Brown University, earned his medical degree at NYU School of Medicine, and completed his Internal Medicine residency at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital (USC). He also served as an emergency physician at Vandenberg Air Force Base, giving him a clinical breadth that extends well beyond standard outpatient internal medicine. He is affiliated with French Hospital Medical Center and Sierra Vista Regional Medical Center for inpatient care. Through his Concierge Choice membership program, Dr. Bloom offers patients something increasingly rare in modern medicine: a physician who genuinely has time — time to listen, to think, and to build lasting relationships with the people in his care. He accepts multiple insurance plans in addition to the concierge membership tier.

About the Physician

Dr. Bloom attended Brown University before earning his medical degree from NYU School of Medicine — one of the premier research and clinical training institutions in the country. His internal medicine residency at Cottage Hospital/USC gave him deep clinical grounding before he settled on California’s Central Coast, where he has practiced for many years. His philosophy is shaped by a personal conviction: medicine should help patients thrive, not merely survive. He deliberately keeps his patient panel small enough to allow unhurried, thoughtful appointments — an approach that stands in stark contrast to the 7-minute visit model of conventional primary care. Dr. Bloom is also known in the SLO community for his background in swing dancing, having taught Lindy Hop and West Coast Swing.
