Joseph Palumbo D.O

Chief Executive Officer,
Chief Medical Officer

After the completion of my studies at Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine, I began my medical career as a board-certified physician in Emergency Medicine. I practiced Emergency Medicine for 13 years as a locum tenens physician. This experience placed me in many different hospitals throughout the United States. In 2016 I focused my medical career in telemedicine. My initial concentration focused on areas of Urgent Care-related medicine and Hormone Replacement Therapy.

With the expansive growth of the telemedicine industry, I founded my own company LocumTele, LLC in 2020. The focus of this company is to provide medical director services and a professional corporation management for those who want to enter into the telemedicine space compliantly and safely. Currently LocumTele, LLC has expertise in IV nutrition, Hormone Replacement Therapy, Peptide Management, Ozone Therapy and weight loss solutions, amongst other areas. Using my experience as a medical consultant, I have been able to provide guidance and first-hand knowledge in these fields of medicine that can exist within telemedicine.

As CEO, I have been instrumental in developing relationships with national companies and many franchise corporations. By helping to provide the necessary medical directorship as well as the professional corporation components, my company has enabled these businesses to grow, expand and thrive in the telehealth arena. When our clients utilize the LocumTele, LLC medical and professional elements, our services ensure a proficient team of medical providers. These professionals foster a safe, ethical, and compliant infrastructure for telehealth patient care. Our team of medical providers maintain a professional yet personal relationship between LocumTele, LLC and our network of clients.
