Biography
Time has always played a major role in Dr. Brett Law's two decades as a physician. Through his experience practicing a wide range of medicine – academic, military, urgent care, and private practice – it has become clear to Dr. Law that time is often in extremely short supply.
“We have all seen it happen over the years; more patients jammed into already busy schedules and less time to talk about what’s actually important,” laments Dr. Law. “We may be on different sides of the stethoscope, but we all experience the frustration. Patients aren’t given the time to fully tell their stories and physicians aren’t given enough time to listen.” Dr. Law’s desire for thorough, unhurried patient conversations and the ability to dedicate time to tough cases brought him to WellcomeMD.
For Dr. Law, the power of establishing personal relationships with his patients is second to none. “Getting to know my patients and taking care of the whole person is why I got into medicine in the first place,” says Dr. Law. “The most impactful thing I can do as a physician is spend time with my patients to fully understand their health and be their true advocate. WellcomeMD gives me time to get to know my patients again.” Indeed, it’s often the slowed-down conversations that take place after the exam that allow for the patient’s emotional and psychological context to be clarified. By dedicating time and individual attention to each patient, he aims to help them not only get healthy, but stay healthy.
Throughout his career, Dr. Law has developed a professional passion for preventative medicine and a special interest in sports medicine. He trained and practiced medicine in the U.S. Navy for 12 years, during which time he traveled the world and developed a strong reliance on his skills. While serving in the Navy Reserves, Dr. Law opened his own family and sports medicine practice in Richmond and taught as an Assistant Clinical Professor at VCU’s School of Medicine. More recently, he practiced at Patient First Urgent Care Centers in Richmond.
In his spare time, Dr. Law’s family is first priority. He enjoys mountain biking with his wife at Pocahontas State Park and keeping up with his teenage twins.
