Your Trusted Partner for Longevity and Preventive Health Solutions
David Drew Clinic has dedicated 25 years to pioneering a revolutionary approach to extending the prime years of life through proactive health monitoring and early disease detection. Our LOOKtoLIVE program leverages advanced biochemistry, genetics, and imaging technologies to identify and address silent health threats like cancer and cardiovascular disease before they become life-threatening. With over 20,000 patient-years of experience, we have demonstrated that our personalized, technology-driven evaluations prevent nearly all deaths before age 70 and significantly extend life expectancy.Our team of physicians, including founder Dr. Timothy Soncrant, combines expertise in internal medicine, gerontology, and longevity science to deliver a seamless, patient-centered experience. We measure success through measurable outcomes: participants starting before age 50 gain an average of 6.3 additional prime years, while those beginning at 65 still gain nearly five years. Our commitment extends beyond individual patients to advocating for broader adoption of proactive health monitoring in U.S. medical care, ensuring more people preserve their most valuable years.

LOOKtoLIVE Program
Our LOOKtoLIVE program provides comprehensive health evaluations to detect silent threats like cancer and cardiovascular disease. Using advanced imaging, genetic testing, and functional assessments, we identify risks years before symptoms appear. Participants receive personalized action plans to mitigate identified risks and extend prime years of life.
Genetic Testing
We offer specialized genetic testing to identify inherited risk factors for early-onset diseases. This enables targeted prevention strategies for conditions like hereditary cancers and cardiovascular disorders. Results inform personalized screening protocols and risk mitigation plans tailored to individual genetic profiles.
Medical Imaging
Our non-invasive imaging technologies detect arterial plaque buildup, organ abnormalities, and early-stage cancers. These evaluations include CT scans, MRIs, and other advanced diagnostics performed at optimal intervals based on individual risk factors and health status.
Functional Testing
We conduct comprehensive functional tests to evaluate heart and lung capacity, muscle composition, and metabolic efficiency. These assessments identify subtle declines in physiological performance that may indicate underlying health threats requiring intervention.
Longevity Planning
Our physicians develop customized longevity plans combining lifestyle modifications, medical interventions, and ongoing monitoring. These plans address identified risks while optimizing overall health through nutrition, exercise, and targeted therapies based on individual test results.

Report
My experience going to DDC has been eye-opening. I heard great things about the clinic from a colleague, who raved about the high level of care, detailed diagnostic testing and follow up recommendations he recieved during each visit. As a 50 year old man with concerns about my family health history, I felt it was time for me to upgrade my healthcare game. DDC is concierge practice that specializes in a more personalized approach to patient care.
What seems to separate DDC from other concierge practices is their unique diagnostic approach that is supposed to increase the odds of early detection and treatment of the most common diseases. In my case, I now have much deeper insight into my health and my unique risk factors. This has enabled me to get additional screening and take other precautions that may help me avoid or, at least, delay the fate my genetics. DDC is not cheap and insurance doesn't pay for most of their services, but if you can afford you it, you will have much greater peace of mind about your health.

I have been a patient at the Clinic for 5 years, and have had nothing but a great experience. Dr. Hao is an incredible doctor with impeccable credentials. He is also very personable. I read through some of the more negative commentary on the page, and was really surprised - these comments do not reflect my experience with the Clinic. I guess YMMV. Whenever I have an issue, the doctor is always available and returns calls within a few hours. Scheduling appointments is also easy. I would recommend this Clinic to anyone who wants more thorough care than the standard physical.

Report
I have been a patient of the Clinic for about twelve years and I have been happy with my experience. They have been proactive in evaluating test results. In cases where I have needed treatment by other specialists they have maintained good communication with those providers. They provide me with detailed reports of blood test and interpretations of my physicals state. I do find their advertising is sometimes a little exaggerated.
